      Because it's bleedin' obvious.

      Do you think he was being sarcastic?

        I think he was paraphrasing a journalists previous question as he was inviting the doctor next to him to answer.

        I dont think he was serious in anyway. But then you have to read CNN to decide what to think about it.

          Can you evidence that he was paraphrasing a journalist's previous question?

          Anyway, it's really sad to see the lengths you will go to defend him. Being sarcastic!

            His proposals look sensible. Someone needs to deal with gun crime in the US. Not against people defending themselves or their own property but surely it is not a good idea to allow easy access for criminals or the deranged. According to Wikipedia only some states require a licence or registration and some even allow weapons to be carried in public places. Gun-related homicide rate is 25 times higher than other high income nations.

              Minny thinks Trump is being sarcastic or not in any way serious here.



              It really is pitiful.

                If you find me the full transcript of the press conference we can go though it.

                  So you have no evidence at all.

                  I do wonder whether you really believe what you're posting. That would be quite sad.

                    Open carry states have the lowest gun crime and when they started open carry about 20 years ago gun crime dropped considerably.

                    Biden and Obama convinced areas to discontinue stop and frisk and the gun crime went out of control.

                    More legal guns is less gun crime.
