Trump Backs Down On Background Checks After Call With NRA | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
The ‘Most Mentally ill’ person ever should not be allowed to even be involved on a subject of ‘Gun Control’…45 is a NRA Puppet
Dolt 45 never fails to disappoint sane people.
clown trump is the biggest dipsh*t to ever sit in the oval office.
@Idylchatter
Lol “Dolt 45”! Ha! I love it.
So the tough guy who said that everyone else was afraid of the NRA backs down again
Darrle Ennis He never had any intention of standing up to the nra. Mind you, he told them “I will never let you down.”
@Ro G Don’t tell me. Tell the people that believe everything he says
Donnie flips & flops like a Goldfish out of the toilet. He’s also the Only politician who ever said he wanted to take our guns without due process!
I know…After Trump said something about taking guns away, I was surprised the NRA didn’t put a hit out on him. They’re REAL touchy about that subject.
@Jim Reynolds
*They understand the game, it’s necessary for Trump to throw the libturds a little treat every once in awhile to keep them distracted.*
LAST CALL uh….cool story
Last Call is a POS Russian Troll (the paid help) don’t feed the poor little critter!
Trump is a liar there will be no background checks for weapon purchases mark my words
There already are background checks. Theres a NICs check during every purchase.

We need to change the term mentally ill, to Trump Syndrome.
@RM it is called TDS(Trump Derangement Syndrome). The news and left in general have had it bad since Trump started running in 2015. It looks exhausting.
@Mark Haddox you failed.
You mean Trump Derangement Syndrome. Just look at msnbcs video uploads and read the comments from their nut job viewers. Lol
@Hayden Williams ?
The Cowardice of frat boys ….
WHY Trump must go. And his buddies.
NRA told him not too because he’s nothing but a puppet.
who gives a f*ck with Wayne thinks.
The NRA speaks and he rolls over like a good dog.
Can ANYONE be at all surprised by this? It was a forgone conclusion.
thats because nra is one of his biggest donors in 2016
This is not an administration it’s a PUTIN installed criminal Enterprise brought to you by the fans of DUCK DYNASTY AND HONEY BOO BOO
trumputin flips more than a cook at the House of Pancakes 🥞🥞🥞
We already have background checks.
This is how a false narrative is generated.
Regarding your false narrative… there are no background checks required from a private sale or from vendors at gun shows. Background checks need to be a universal requirement so that criminals, and others not entitled to own guns, do not have these opportunities.

The “false” part was that there were going to be and then he decided against it.
There are no background checks at a car dealership.
@Jay Gibson The car analogy? Great idea! – Have a national database of all the registration numbers, pay an annual fee to register it and another to insure it, pass a safety and competency test to be able to use it, and be licensed to operate it. I think you’ve got the solution!
gagatube
Goodbye car ownership.
Only for the wealthy.
Ultimately no private property.
Thats the long term plan.

If you have any unregistered fire extinguishers just turn those in to your fire dept.
We cant have you trying to put out any fires.
The NRA might be less powerful in general but when dealing with the marmalade Mussolini they’re a steamroller to Trump’s spineless worm.
Trump:…it’s a mental problem”…Ye, Mr.President, you are the mental problem.
T-rump has ZERO credibility. The most unbelievable Person to ever hold the office.
yes #45 is WEAK and not in CONTROL nra don’t care if people die they are making blood money
Omg you are 100% wrong. NRA members have families, kids in school ect. We feel the pain of shootings the same as anyone else. However, we don’t blame guns, president Trump or law abiding citizens. We blame the criminal/psycho who pulls the trigger and our justice system who lets these psycho/criminals out of jail. Please support your ” blood money ” comment.
So we have to find a way to get criminals who steal guns to submit to background checks? That should be easy.😀
I know, right? These people lack common sense. I hate to say it, but Trump is right…we do have background checks in place now. If you have a felony on your record, you won’t pass. So tightening background checks will do next to nothing anyway. We need an answer about criminals with guns, and then tackle the big problem: How do we stop these mass shootings? Why don’t we look to our pal, Israel, for the answer. They seem to have solved the problem. Let’s ask them.
No, this particular item is about criminals who *buy* guns because they can currently do so without a background check. Try to keep up.
The hilarious part is that he’s so stooopid that he needed another phone call to remind him he’s the NRA’s b!+ch
Whose a good baby, you are Donnie 👶, you are. Good baby gets his bottle now! 🍼
Trump the Incoherent babbling buffoon and his 10 word vocabulary, I’d rather listen to my alarm clock for 2 hours then hear him speak for 1 minute
