Trump 'Going to Get Americans Killed' With Industry-Friendly Gun Order, Warn Critics | Common Dreams

"Remember the next time that a mass shooting happens," said one gun control advocate, "Trump did everything in his power to enable it, not prevent it."

An executive order issued Friday by President Donald Trump that aims to rollback gun control measures instituted by his predecessor received swift rebuke from critics who said the order should be seen as a giveaway to the profit-hungry gun industry at the expense of a society ruthlessly harmed by gun violence year after year after year.

    I’m not saying we should deregulate firearms at all, but if we’re doing it we might as well use the second amendment as originally intended

    So for well-regulated militias?

        And at the command of the governor of the state?

        Yeah, nothing that could go wrong there.

          It gives states the power to defend against incursion by other states.

            So balkanization and warring states. On top of the neo-feudalism.

            50 wealthy white dudes, each with their own fiefdom. Sounds amazing.

            What’s the point of having a federal government at that point?

              Okay, what’s your suggestion? Capitulating to Trump for the sake of having a federal government?
