    1. @oldrrocr Neither shooter had anything to do with Trump – one was a Warren supporter while the other gated Republicans.

    2. Norman Peterson : Uneducated (I have a masters degree ) and stupid. What ? No racist, bigot, homophobic, Russian bot, or deplorable ? Bottom line. You’ve just got too many people, especially in the middle of the country, that will NOT go back to the democrat / liberal agenda.

    3. Gary Campbell I agree 100%. So glad I left and even more thrilled the black community is waking up to the nonsense

  1. So let me get this straight you’re working on a law that is already put in place?๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

    1. Is this red flag law going to fund universal mental health care for all Americans? Otherwise, it’s pretty much useless, isn’t it?

    2. @ruth depew I wouldn’t say completely useless but that would be a GREAT and effective use of the law and funds..

    1. @Absolutely Immaculate You can’t tell when he’s reading from a teleprompter? It’s pretty simple. It’s when he is speaking in rational, coherent sentences, and delivering everything in a nearly deadpan fashion.

    1. @koffinkat666 What do you expect? Daily reports repeating the same story? What do you want them to tell you about Gilroy or another prior shooting, exactly?

    2. @Joe Smith What false flag? Please, bring some kind of a well-sourced citation from a reliable source (not Infowars or Paul Watson, which is probably where you are getting these ideas). Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. We would love to see your proof that ANY shooting was a false flag event.

    3. @Zissou Moonshot This shooting happened a day before the El paso one so yah…..Not sure why they didn’t include it

  2. Video games are not the problem is the people actions that cost these problems we make our own choices

    1. Ali DW where did you get your psychology degree? Don’t downplay the very real correlation between media and real life violence. In contrast to what you say, studies are nearly unanimous that such a nexus exists. Don’t get your info from the media companies who are themselves to blame and, by the way, have the same lobbying power or greater than the NRA. here are some studies:

    2. @Shmuel G Did you actually read any of those studies? Also, Correlation does not equal causation. not to mention that the most recent of those cited studies is 6 years old. THe majority of the studies have been debunked – and the most recent have not been cited correctly .

    1. @Alexander The Great Yeah, but that is after a full day of speeches. Trump is winded at one prepared statement. He also leans on the podium alot. What’s wrong with him? He isn’t the same guy as before.

    1. What? He is advocating the violation of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments. Nobody is taking the guns, these “red flag laws” are unconstitutional. The NRA should disavow Trump and find a new candidate that will preserve out rights. Trump is a traitor, but not in the way you leftists think he is.

    1. Alexander The Great so trump is not MAGA he’s just like the rest of them in the swamp. At least he’s making money. I bet he will make money in the stock markets too

  3. How do you not call out that he didn’t even know the correct city? Why was he talking about Toledo? The correct death toll? or his Twitter feed and rallies? What a joke!

    1. Yeah, research has already debunked that connection but it’s an easy target. And gaming companies don’t donate as much to repubs as the nra does..

    2. Not to mention, they didn’t have video games throughout ancient history, and people still killed each other…

    3. @Jim The EDC Guy Well this way the Republican politicians can keep saying it’s not the guns killing all these people. It used to be rock music and dungeons and dragons, then it was rap music. Now it’s video games and media next it’s going to be the man in the moon anything to keep getting those big fat checks coming from gun manufacturers and the NRA. Did you know that Trump was given 30 million dollars for his campaign by the NRA most of the politicians also accept bribes from the NRA. I call them bribes because that’s what they are, bribes.

  4. I actually just laughed out loud at Trump’s lack of passion reading this, but trying his best to appear “presidential” and the crappy speech.

    1. @Nancy Crisman you are a poor soulless moron….traitor trump should take his little sycophants and start his own country he can sit on a throne and you can grovel at his feet…..and he can sacrifice YOU to the election gods..

  5. He didn’t need that prompt when he spoke on the Central Park 5. Why doesn’t he speak so harshly against his supporters when they commit mass shootings? He doesn’t care about this. He’s been calling for it for 3 years.

  6. So Trump’s hatreds have warped his mind, ravaged his heart, and devoured his soul. Yeah, that sounds about right.

    1. I was thinking the same thing. He talks about racism, bigotry and hate.. I think he was about to choke because he couldn’t say what he wanted to. He is two faced as well. No feeling what so ever

    2. Dam , dam, dam I believe you got it right, almost scary but precise .๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ

  7. THE N.R.A. OWN THE REPUBLICANS! CORRUPTION STARTS AT TTHE TOP AND TRICKLES DOWN INTO MASS SHOOTINGS!

    1. Yup, I’m not buying it either. Except I’ll NEVER consider Putin’s stupid lying clown stooge the President. He’s 99% FAKE, and all the rest is genuine BS!
