Trump Calls For Gun Confiscation In Fox News Rant: Cops Should ‘Stop And Frisk And Take Their Gun Away’
Former President Donald Trump called for gun confiscation in cities during a rant on Fox News demanding cops "stop and frisk, and take their gun away."
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.

"Take the guns first, due process later"
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. 🤣
FYI, that was a quote from prior to the 2016 election. Nobody cared when he said it then.
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.
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.
Now that's something I can agree with. None of them care about policy in the slightest. They care that he is a bigoted racist.
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.
Oh yeah it’s going to make him real popular with the second amendment people. LoL
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.
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'
