Donald Trump: 'I don't know why anyone needs an AR-15'

The news about Trump is buried in a lengthy story in The Washinton Post on Monday about AR-15 style rifles. The report says he tried multiple times in 2018 and 2019 to get support for a federal "assault-weapon" ban.

In the summer of 2019, after back-to-back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso involving an AR-15-style pistol and an AKM-style rifle, Trump told aides that he wanted to ban AR-15s, according to people present for the statements.

"I don't know why anyone needs an AR-15," Trump told aides as he flew on Marine One to the White House in August 2019, according to a person who heard his comments.

As one former official put it in describing the real estate developer turned politician, "His reflexes were a New York liberal on guns. He doesn't have knee-jerk conservative reflexes."

But Trump was also petrified of the NRA and others taking him on, former advisers said, and heard from a number of advisers that it would be unpopular. Trump ultimately stopped entertaining the idea of working with Democrats on gun control later that year, when he was caught in a scandal over his now-infamous phone call with Ukraine's president.

"F--- it, I'm not going to work with them on anything. They're f---ing impeaching me," Trump said in one Oval Office meeting, according to a participant.

The AR-15 is a style of rifle. The FBI crime statistics for 2021 show there were 11,628 people killed by guns, and 447 of them were by rifles of any type. The bureau does not

Hit piece to crush any chance of him winning again. Not saying what happened is kosher just because he has an R next to his name, just pointing out why it's being released.

So the democrats impeaching Trump saved us from more gun control.

This is definitely an odd timeline.

Take the guns first, due process later.

I don't like suppressors.

Ban the bumpstocks.

Nobody needs an AR-15.

Don't worry it's all part of the plan.

I wouldn't be surprised as he was in support of the AWB in the past.  However I'd need to hear him say that today.  Has he made any response to the tranny massacre?

I do actually find it believable. He was a NY Dem for most of his life. A lot of older people, even if they lean conservative, are skeptical of guns. That's why there are so many "all I need is my bolt gun and shotgun" types, and why our rights were eroded to such a sad state (we've only recently begun makijg positive strides). My dad is a lifelong moderate Repub and doesn't like the scary rifles. His older brother is into them, and he's the only older dude I personally know who is.

All true, bump stock mind think was way enough for me, consider a bump stock had not been used before as far as I know. ONly “heard” asshat in Vegas managed to get one to run with a MagPul 60rd magazine= double trouble = a Jamamatic in most hands.
This school shooting will die in its crib as if a black fella did it, the her thinking she is a him tranny. Give it 2 days and something else will hit the airways. Wonder what was happening today when this horrible shooting went down- all distraction.

Trump -

Opponents of gun rights often use a lot of scary descriptive phrases when proposing legislative action against various types of weapons. Ban 'assault weapons' they say, or 'military-style weapons,' or 'high-capacity magazines…Those all do sound a little ominous, until you understand what they are actually talking about are common, popular semiautomatic rifles and standard magazines that are owned and used by tens of millions of Americans."

Truth is truth.  It has more than air of truth to it.  We all saw that.  We overlooked it, mostly, some more than others.

Trump is not a Constitutionalist.  But I believe he loves this country, in his own warped way.  Mostly translates into good for the country, on guns he defaults to facist.
