Fortunately, this is not a decision even the President can make. The ownership of firearms in America is understood to be an inalienable right. Anything threatening that is gonna lead to a fight and serious bloodshed.
Bloodshead?
Now that sounds threatening. Who ya gonna shoot?
All poloticians who want to strip the 2nd would be the optimal target to people such as that.

That kinda sounds like Trump doesn't it? As much a I dislike Trump, I definitely wouldn't support that.
much like the immigration meeting stunt, Trump will say anything to please the crowd in the moment but in the end, the hardliners will get in his ear and he'll fall back in line with the establishment.

Not fond of this. Hell, I'm really pissed. His words on this today shouldn't be taken lightly.
Not what I voted for.

i actually like where trump is going with this. as long as there is enough credible evidence to prove the accused is making threats and has the weaponry to carry out said threats, i don't see what the problem is with taking away their guns while due process works its magic. every idea and proposal should be shared and listened to, at least he is coming up with some ideas.

I voted for Pro-Business / Anti-Abortion Trump.
I'm interested in your take on how easily he tossed out the idea of throwing due process out the window. To me, this is just another example of what I see as authoritarian tendencies. What's ironic here is that for all the talk about gun grabbers Obama et al, the DOJ under Eric Holder was so circumspect that they didn't even go after low hanging fruit like bump stocks, determining instead that they didn't violate federal law.
"What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that’s not cool, that it’s not acceptable, it’s not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes," Holder said. He later added, "We have to be repetitive about this. It’s not enough to have a catchy ad on a Monday and then only do it Monday. We need to do this every day of the week, and just really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way."
This should require a court order, probable cause.
