USA or NRA?

In the midst of all the recent mass shootings, Trump says it’s a mental issue, not a gun problem. What a joke. Any person who goes out and shoots dozens of innocent people has to be mentally ill or crazy no matter who they are.

Trump said he was going to do more on gun control. Then he talked to the NRA and changed his mind on more gun control. You don’t have to be very smart to figure out what that talk was about. The NRA gave Trump $30 million for his election in 2016. How many millions of dollars will the NRA give Trump for his re-election in 2020. The Republicans won’t do more on gun control as long as they get millions of dollars for this re-election from the NRA.

I’ve been a hunter all my life and I’ve never seen a hunter out hunting with an AR automatic rifle yet. They’re made to kill and I am not talking about animals. I believe in the Second Amendment. If the government tried to take every gun a person has, we’d probably have a civil war. I have all the guns I need for my protection and none are an AR-15 automatic rifle.

I see Trump on television wearing a hat that said USA on it. After talking to the NRA and changing his mind on more gun control, he should wear a hat that says NRA on it, not USA.
