You’ve got to let the police do their jobs, number one. Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live. They know every one of them, the local police, and they’re great.
You got to let them do their job, stop and frisk, and take their gun away. You’ve got to do it. If somebody has because they have all these guns — you know, it’s very interesting, the toughest gun law, the toughest, by far, in the whole United States is in Chicago, and yet it’s the most — it’s —
Let all your Republican 2Aer friends and family know.
What a racist tiny handed weirdo.
I don’t see the inconsistency. This is dripping with dog whistle racism. Whites don’t get stopped by cops. Whites are the cops. The 2nd ammendment is for me not for thee
Pretty sure this was on the topic of gun control, he said “taken their guns away and go through due process later” but his 2Aer followers don’t remember that.
“Take the guns first, due process later”
Actually even that gives him too much credit. He doesn’t care about due process for anyone but himself.
When someone like Trump says ‘later’ he really means ‘fuck you’
Oh yeah it’s going to make him real popular with the second amendment people. LoL
I think it’ll be hilarious if Kamala Harris released a statement saying that unlike Trump she will never take your guns away. 🤣

98% of them are completely unaware of this or know he’s only go after the other people and never theirs
I think it’ll be hilarious if Kamala Harris released a statement saying that unlike Trump she will never take your guns away.
While that would be a nice sting to the other side, that would alienate part of her base who are all for gun laws.
You can be pro gun law and still say “We aren’t going to take your guns.” Gun laws don’t prevent gun ownership and don’t enable confiscation of guns from lawful owners. They simply ensure that mentally unstable people or those with criminal backgrounds cannot buy one legally.
FYI, that was a quote from prior to the 2016 election. Nobody cared when he said it then.
That’s not correct. It was from 2018, after the Stoneman Douglas shooting.
Not sure how the timing makes it any less of an obvious attack on Second Amendment rights. But I’ve seen MAGAs find weaker or more fictitious excuses to support worse positions, so I have no doubt you’ve seen them excusing this thing with that reason also.

Again, they pretended to care for 3 seconds.
They absolutely did care. He had to walk it back. It created a lot of consternation from the alt-right and hardcore libertarian types.
They acted like they cared for 3 fucking seconds.
Please, my memory isn’t that bad. I was there, “walk it back” is not how I would describe it.
They have turned their brains off, if they were ever on in the first place. Back when I was on reddit I was arguing with so-called “libertarians” who claimed Donald would protect their gun rights. Of course I was banned because they are actually Repubs cosplaying as libertarians. Banning me was a violation of the NAP, BTW.
First they came for the imaginary guns of imaginary black criminals, and I said nothing… Because I was also imagining their weapons and crimes and hiding in my little baby coward bunker of a home trying to buy bulletproof pants online that would make people think that maybe I might not have a tiny, weird penis…
He has said this before and everyone forgot. Wild that the Dem VP is an avid hunter that believes in 2nd amendment, just wants background checks, while the republican candidate wants to confiscate.
I’m sure that only applies to a) people of a different skin color first, then b) poor white people a distant second.
* Poorer white people. Even those who know they’re poor think it won;t target them, only those who are worse than them somehow
Wait it’s not Obama taking the guns!?
If they know these people are active criminals they will have no problem citing just cause for arrest and search.
I live in Canada, our gun rules are different than the USA. This week in my city some charges against a dangerous criminal were dropped because the police had a “flagrant disregard for charter rights” (according to the judge) (oir charter rights are similar to American civil rights)
They searched him improperly, and found a loaded, illegal gun. Charges dismissed. If they had handled it properly they could have made the charges stick. What a waste of everyone’s time. Police didn’t respect his rights because they don’t respect my rights.
In Canada pigs break the law & the charter & guess what happens to them? SAY IT LOUD ACAB
We expect criminals to break the law. We do not expect or support police that break the law.
Every time I read a quote from this idiot it hurts my brain. I could go on about how stop and frisk is a horrible, racist policy that is a violation of basic rights, but just reading anything he says is painful. His speech is so jarring, erratic, and logically flawed. I’ve listened to average second graders express their thoughts more eloquently than this piece of garbage.
My niece was 2 years old when she said “Uncle, I’m scared of the dark, but juice is in there.”
And she wanted one of those capri-sun juice packs. I told her there’s nothing to be scared of in the garage. She can leave the door open so she can see what she’s doing, but she should get the juice herself.
I expected to have to turn on the light, and maybe even get the juice for her, but I wanted to see how long until she asked for help.
Well, she was still scared, but she walked all the way in, picked up 2 juice packs, and came back inside.
I asked what the 2nd juice pack was for. She said “I got one for you!”
It was the proudest I’d ever been as an uncle. I taught her to face her fears, and in doing so she showed that even when scared she still thinks of others.
Which is more than I can say for trump and his way of thinking. He would have made the story into some self serving story where he battles a monster in the dark, and slayed a dragon, and everybody loves him. Meanwhile what actually happened is he got some underling to bring him the juice because he was too scared.
Whereas my neice faced her fear, overcame it, and thought of others while doing it. THATS real bravery! And more human growth than trump has ever displayed. Plus I actually understood what she was trying to convay. They may have been short sentences, but they were complete sentences. Plus they didn’t drift off halfway into some racist rant. Mostly because she isn’t racist and is raised better than that.
“My juice packs are the best juice packs. I was just talking to the inventor of the juice pack, Hannibal Lector, the other day and he says to me. He says, “Donnie,” he calls me Donnie because we’re that close, Hannibal Lector and I. So Hannie, I call him Hannie because we’re, like super duperly close, closer than brothers. So he, Hannibal Lector, inventor of the juice pack, he says, “Donnie, you always have the best juice packs. I don’t know how you do it, but yours are the best juice packs, and that’s why you should be president for life.” Very smart man, Hannibal Lector. Really, really smart.”
Republicans: You can never take our guns!
Trump: Take their guns!
Republicans:
Republicans: yes I’m still voting for the face eating leopard party!
Funny how a few weeks ago he was asskissing the NRA and gun community
Like anything with him, when the obvious happened now he’ll suddenly change his mind… and probably start saying something about Mexicans and “crooked Biden,” isn’t tough on crime which is why he got shot, etc
I’m pretty sure the whole “the police know who they are, they know where they live, they know their middle name” bit means not-white-male.
So, it’s a 3-way tug-of-war between gun fanaticism, their reincarnated jesus, and racismIn my experience, if the police know who you are, where you live, etc, they also have a pretty good idea if you have a gun or not.
Yeah the frisking is code for police brutality
It wouldn’t be the first time. Like when Black Panthers were enjoying their 2nd Amendment rights. All of a sudden Republicans jumped on gun control.
Wouldn’t even be the first time for trump. He banned bump stocks via executive order after the Vegas shooting.
Good point. A ruling rolled back while the Democrats are ruling (albeit by the Supreme Court which heavily weights towards Republican).
The NRA must receive its blood sacrifice (and occasional payment from Russia).
Well trump, it was nice knowing ya (it wasn’t) bit you’ll never never ever ever ever be president again. Tell the average Americans that you’ll take their guns away? You nuts? Tell right wing evangelical Christian redneck gun lover that you’ll take their guns away? Are you suicidal?
Anyway, fuck Trump , happy to see him go
That statement is like a supercomputer ran LLMs and voter simulations for two weeks in order to find the one sentence most perfectly crafted to drive away the most American voters.
That oughta tweak his magats
I doubt Trump’s followers will think of this as a breach of their 2A rights. They will likely think that it’s black people and bad actors who will have their guns taken for the safety of the boys in blue.
To talk about police as being honorable community service members and then Chicago in the same sentence is rather entertaining because that city has a very long history of dirty cops, and I think everyone knows it? That’s kind of common knowledge.
