...at 10AM Eastern time. Will he announce executive order(s) to further infringe on the 2nd Amendment in light of the recent shootings? What are your thoughts / expectations?
I personally feel like the red flag laws will cause more harm than good. Anyone who has ever sought mental health treatment will be flagged which is bullshitWell, except for his support of the red flag laws, the speech didn't reveal much...but yes, what is next?

You are right, I am listening to it now and he doesn't reveal anything. I did hear him say that he wants social media corporations to start helping flag people, meaning facebook and whatnot is gonna start sending posts to the DOJ? I guess I am gonna be deleting my social media. A lot of the shit my military friends and I talk about is messed up lolI strongly agree, and I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't important, but his red flag support was already known and no other actions were specifically stated.
I've already deleted my social media accounts, with the exception of Instagram. I hate everything it stands for, and hate how reliant we are on Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and apple products. I do still have a Google pixel, but that's the extent of my support. The hypocrisy of posting anti social media posts on said platforms defeats the purpose, imo though in today's world, it's needed to an extent.... unfortunately. The irony of specific crimes picked and targeted simply to support biased agendas by the media is sickening.You are right, I am listening to it now and he doesn't reveal anything.

I agree...this is just going to deter people from seeking help they need out of fear of their rights to be stripped from them. As hard as it is to say, the only thing to do is to disregard unlawful legislation forced upon you and to have some people be the guinea pigs to establish case law to hopefully overturn said legislation. None of these people are true "gun guys" the Dayton shooter had a pos Anderson ar, with the cheapest drum mag he could find. They're assuming these are the representatives of the gun community, and using them to push anti gun legislation. To put it bluntly, the Vegas shooter would have likely taken more lives without the bumpstocks, and both the garlic festival, el Paso, and Dayton shooters would have done far more damage if they would have handled things more strategically and knew what they were doing instead of trying to play COD or GTA in real life. They're all pathetic and cowardly human beings, that we should not allow to represent the gun community. The problem is that the right wing conservatives hold no voice when it comes to social media and mass influence like the left has on pretty much every single media outlet, including YouTube, Facebook, Google, apple, Netflix, Hulu, and everything else. I can't even find a movie anymore that doesn't have some desperate attempt at a leftist agenda imbedded within. We have to step up our game on these platforms before anyone will actually hear us, and not get stuck in the "old ways" of simply casting our votes and staying quiet otherwise. Too many conservatives are older and refuse to raise their voices because they're too reliant and hopeful of things going back to "the good ol days." The right has been a sleeping giant for way too long, only casting votes when we feel that it matters. I despise social media, but it's already changed the world and isn't going anywhere anytime soon, although conservative viewpoints are quickly disappearing. I've deleted my old Facebook primarily due to the constant and blatant bias I witnessed on a daily basis, that would simply just piss me off. I tried changing my name on the platform, but was mandated to send a copy of my state ID before they would allow me to change it, though I see numerous names from certain people that are obviously not real, yet none of them are straight white males with occasional conservative viewpoints posted. I'm not a huge fan of Fox news, but there needs to be a fox news equivalent of Facebook where conservatives can network without fear of censorship. I've seen too many valid posts with true statistics that is removed by FB for violating their community terms. I still feel that an outright ban on certain firearms should wake up this sleeping giant; however, it may be too late by then. Regardless, there will be a point in the near future where blood is shed on both ends. It won't be pretty.Ok I am curious, I don't want ANY of my freedoms taken away, but the left is getting LOUD and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I have said for many years now "We are one more mass shooting away from another "assault weapons ban" (yes I know an AR is not an assault weapon, but the left doesn't) and a hi-capacity mag ban, and here we are a BUNCH of mass shootings later, and it is not if a ban will happen but WHEN ! So my question is this we don't want them taking our weapons, we don't want them taking our mags, we don't want them going after anyone who has sought mental health help in the past, we don't want them monitoring our social media, so then WHAT IS THE SOLUTION ??????? I am pretty sure after Trumps speech today that he is trying to give the left something ANYTHING to keep them away from our guns and mags. Isn't there anything that we as law abiding gun owners would agree to that might stop these nut jobs from carrying out these mass shootings ? I have three AR's and one AK tons of ammo and many 30 round mags, and will only be buying more knowing that their demise is imminent, but we as a gun community need to be part of the solution and try and figure out ways to thwart these massacres. So what is the solution ??????

Here is my thing, the Dayton killer had been kicked out of high school for having a "Hit list" of students he wanted to kill and a "Rape list" of students he wanted to sexually assault, I AM SORRY if you are caught with something like that you should have your name in a data base to be flagged for the rest of your life to where you cant buy ANY weapon. That is something I have no problem giving the left.
