President Trump asked Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to add her “assault weapons” ban to the overarching school safety bill during a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers on Wednesday.
Feinstein’s bill, which is an enhanced reintroduction of a bill she has put forward again and again, bans over 200 different firearms.
During Wednesday’s White House meeting, Trump showed support for the gun control pushed by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA). The Manchin/Toomey bill is a gun control bill that the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected on April 17, 2013. But Trump chalked that failure up to Barack Obama’s lack of leadership, and talked of using the Manchin/Toomey bill as a base to which other bills could be added.
The goal was to create a body of gun legislation, ubiquitously for the purposes of school safety.
Sen. Feinstein talked about her bill and described the AR-15 as one of “the latest and newest weapons” to hit our streets. However, Eugene Stoner designed the AR-15 in the 1950s and Armalite began producing the gun during the 1960s. Are weapons from 60 years ago now considered “latest and newest”?
Nonetheless, Trump listened to Feinstein, heard from a few more gun control proponents—including Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL)—then looked back at Feinstein and told her she should add her bill to the Manchin/Toomey bill for consideration.

I wonder what excuse the Trump supporters will come up with for THIS one.
it is almost impossible to have an objective discussion with a trumper …..their comebacks are vomit from msm……it is as if they think he is a super double secret agent ..put in place to save the country …..hahahaha…..hahahahaha
Well, Trenchers, if they have their way, soon we will be “Saying goodbye in our own way….. playing outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes”.

Darzak,
What I love about the scene with his uncle is when his uncle says,
“First learn to use this “pointing at his head” then I will teach you to use this “clutching the sword”.”
I agree. That is why I chose the clip that had both the courage to follow your free heart AND learn to use your head first.
Thank you, so stirring. Will look for film soon.
.
Yep!
Surprised as i was he was selected and given the nod, i knew it was because he was pro-police state.
Molan labe cork sucker!
Your commie luvin joo boy friends are setting you up. For an internal war where many die and only the strong eat on day 24.
WWELL,
IVE LISTENED TO A LIFETIME OF “SHITZPAH”( BULLSHIT DRIVEN BY UNDISCIPLINED COURAGE)
NOTHING NEW!!!!!!!!
When are we going to ban Feinsteins face?
We are all very busy watching him infringe on our 2nd Amendment rights, but no one is notice what his government is doing to our first amendment rights. https://consortiumnews.com/2018/02/28/the-war-against-alternative-information-2/#comment-311698
No one???
We notice EVERYTHING here.
Trump said during this meeting that he does not want a “mentally ill” person to have a gun, and that has to be stopped, and he went further and said that even a policeman can make that determination. In other words, he is indicating that anyone can make that determination. How about the media? Can they make that detemination? They have been publicly stating, in unison, and in serious commentary, that Trump is mentally ill since he has been in office
Someone should take notice of something. Everytime a law is passed curtailing our constitutional rights, it is invariably done in a Republican administration or a Republican congress. Anyone notice that (eg. Patriot Act). Do people think that is a coincidence?
Seems to me we’ve seen all of this before. Reading the news is like watching re-runs.
These idiots are so completely out of touch with the American people they can’t even fathom the danger they’re in.
