Was this a double down or just the full quote? He buckled in the Governors as likely heroes too.


"You don't know until you're tested but I think I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too," Trump said at a White House meeting.

He again found fault with the officers who didn't stop the gunman who carried out the massacre. "They really weren't exactly Medal of Honor winners," he added.

Meanwhile back in Oklahoma, 4 days school weeks are succeeding!

“I’ve saved almost a teacher in diesel probably already,” said Newcastle Superintendent Tony O’Brien.


I am not sure you should judge quality of education by cost savings.

Teachers are especially hard hit: their health plan was replaced with a private system that eats up more than $1000/month for a family of three -- one teaching aide was actually paying to work her job, spending $200/month more on health insurance than she was paid in salary. Teachers make ends meet with public housing vouchers and food stamps, and school food-bank drives sometimes give their leftovers to hungry teachers and their families.


FWIW Oklahoma school superintendents are averaging $147K.

The NRA has spent $45.9 million on federal lobbying since 1998.

NRA isn’t a “lobby group.” It’s a fellowship organization of gun owners. I can’t take you seriously on any level now that you’ve demonstrated you don’t know anything about the group your smearing. Enjoy your day.
11:05 AM - 25 Feb 2018

From NRA-ILA website:
Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the "lobbying" arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Assuming Loesch was being purposefully obtuse, I suppose this is the kind of hair-splitting we can expect at all levels of the gun control debate. How do we define "assault weapon"? What constitutes "mental illness"? And, in the end, nothing will be done or some menial restriction will be put in place to placate the masses while, in practice, will solve nothing.

Defining assault weapon is pretty important if you’re going to institute a ban though

It doesn’t have to be perfect. The schedule of weapons can be updated as needed.

I agree. If somehow I suggested otherwise, I was in error.

We should have a body of people we elect to figure this all that.

Which is worse--to think Trump is saying he'd run in, even though he knows he wouldn't, or the more likely idea that he really believes he would run in? I think I'd rather have Trump be just a lying bullshitter, rather than a delusional lying bullshitter.

He wouldn’t run in because of his bone spurs.

Trump backing away from his calls to raise age on purchasing weapons.
