I'm sure that he's waiting to find out who did this so he could either soft-pedal the shooting (For a white guy), of engage in the painting of some non-white group for the actions of the shooter.
There are so many different ways that he's going to fuck-up the aftermath of this massacre...
Let us count the ways.

I could be wrong, but guns aren't my bag.

(17,865 posts)The guns that have been legislated against (going back and forth) are semiautomatic which requires a finger pull with each shot. They have a slower rate of fire.
Still someone wit a semiautomatic could do almost as much damage as this nut with his weapon.

MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)BUT, he always finds a way to piss off his base over one thing or another.
One thing though, he's going to do his damnedest to make this bullshit all about him.

Make that a definitely No
Trump won't do anything to upset his gun-loving supporters, even letting them access and own automatic weapons without any controls.

(685 posts)My prediction,
People are afraid, no one can protect them. They must get a gun to protect their families (little sarcastic on he latter) but that's what I predict.
If this guy got his gun illegally then I double predict what I said above
this is just a terrible terrible thing.
