Trump also likes to play the Dems ... offer something
they want paired with something they can't stand. When
they reject the package it proves they really don't care
about "X" . The DACA-funding + Wall thing was a good
example.
In THIS case though, there IS a real issue. We don't want
nutters/terrorists/felons to have guns ... but there's little in
the way of law to accomplish that in a *timely fashion*.
Bear in mind that hair-trigger laws WILL be abused by
both citizens and state ... just fire off a baseless accusation
and watch the system attack your victim. This is a serious
problem. "Well, I heard him say he wants to shoot-up the
mall/school/whatever ..." and that persons civil rights all
go down the toilet. Angry girlfriends, parted friends, biz
competitors, anti-gunners ... ANYBODY can abuse the
proposed system with relative impunity - so they WILL.
During Mao's "cultural revolution" all it took was an
accusation of "counterrevolutionary thinking" ......
Mr. Cruz was a long-term problem case with input from
numerous agencies and entities. In his case some kind
of protective action may have been possible even under
the current laws. Of course nobody wanted to take the
responsibility/expense/liability so .......
I expect Trump will modify/clarify his statement tomorrow.
To trash civil rights without due process ... you just don't
do that ... and facilitating laws may be just as bad. There
just isn't any real fix for this stuff other than to convince
people that mass slaughter is *bad* ..... and that'd sound
too much like "establishment" for many lefties.
