It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

I also got the Lulz when Trump was talking against the NRA. Made me respect him more. But then he said what Obama never said......take away guns first, then go to courts. Lmao. 'Twas awesome. I actually golf clapped when he said to get rid of the NRA and that the Republicans were too big of pussies to do anything about them. Lmfao!
You worry to much about what the media is pushing. What difference does it make if some director steps down? Ever tell a white lie yourself? For another?

Maybe the real question is why every time there is some sort of private meeting, information from it gets leaked out? What a horrible cesspool Washington is.
My whole rant about Trump and the NRA, had everything to do with his own words. I watched it. Was epic, no matter what side. If Hope Hicks was an Obama supporter and in the same position, you would have a field day with the white lies comment. Of course, I know that they all lie. Also, I only saw the headline about her saying she lies for him. Thought is was funny and commented. Since you read more media stories......what ever came of it?

Just to be clear, you think the shooter should have had access to guns the entire time?
no. he should have been investigated when it was brought to the attention of the fbi and to law enforcement. that is where the failing happened. but if you guys want to twist everything i'm saying, like you always do. fair play. i should know better than to discuss anything with the two of you. :P
Great, you investigate him. Then what?

What is that supposed to do? Sadly there are thousands of people like that guy out there. We get lucky every day they don't turn their thoughts into actions.

we're never going to be able to prevent every crime and every criminal. if that means we should start treating people as if they are guilty, just on suspicion or rumor alone, then have at it. i don't want a part of that.

Same. I like the idea of being innocent until proven guilty.

He is not a team mentality president. He is a pro-citizen president whose best interest is solely for the American people whether or not many of those people voted against him. Can't believe you haven't seen it?

I was talking about him actually telling the Republicans that they are basically shills for the NRA. Good stuff. Why argue that? It happened. I was shocked. But whatever. Lol

So what is the point of investigating? You aren't advocating anything be done.

You should all ask yourselves why you haven't heard about the Sutherland Springs Church shooting. Took place just a few months ago and was deadlier than Parkland.

For the exact same reasons why the Florida school shooting has morphed into a nonsensical anti-NRA campaign instead of blaming the hundred reasons it really happened.

the point of investigating is to determine whether he presents a threat or not, and to act accordingly under the law and due process.

You keep saying that. But I disagree with a lot of them. Can't have a discussion with you if that is what you think I am. I am a social liberal. I admit that. But you side with conservatives more than I do liberals. You have said that liberals are scum. I haven't said that about conservatives. I do think the uber Christian right are a little crazy. Other than that, they cool. I have said in here, some good things about Trump. Only people to respond was Seb and Zombs......like once or twice. But let's argue about our differences. ???????????????

Trying to find common ground. I guess that's bad.
