During gun violence meeting, Trump indicates confusion about how mass shootings obtain AR-15s

At the end of a bipartisan meeting about gun violence that lasted more than an hour on Wednesday, Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) asked President Trump the key question: “What do we do about weapons of war easily accessible on our streets?”

Trump responded by falsely claiming that the guns Feinstein referred to are “black market,” seemingly unaware that the AR-15 used to take 17 lives the Parkland school shooting earlier this month was purchased legally.

“You have weapons on the street — that’s what we’re talking about with black market,” Trump told Feinstein. “These are black market weapons and you know, the problem Diane is that these aren’t where you walk into the store and buy them, these are where somebody hands you a gun and you hand them some money.”

Most of the time if you have any smarts before you have meeting, that "you call" you research the topic..............this asshole has no clue, but he could and did say that he could point a gun on fifth avenue and shoot someone and no one would not care....................

It is absolutely amazing on just how stupid he really is, and his litmus test on facts in holding a meeting is when he gets caught and has no fucking clue on what he says, when he gets caught in his stupidity he crosses his arms and looks like deer eyes in headlights and then says this is what "you" have to discuss............no asshole.....................you called the meeting, and if you have no clue which you have no clue, resign

called him on it.

Let it be duly noted.

Not many there confronted him: Chris Murphy and Rep. Esty of CT, for two. And he rolled right over Esty.
