@POTUS: “We are going to make it so tough that you will not be able to get [bump stocks]. Nobody is going to want them. You know, you shoot rapidly, but not accurately. I don't know if you ever heard what bump stocks do… that’s why nobody even really came to its defense.”pic.twitter.com/VQdjAEh1rgShow this thread -

@realDonaldTrump has never shown courage or bravery (& dodged draft to avoid gunfire). He says he would have gone into#Parkland & faced a man w/AR-15...EVEN IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A WEAPON?!
He's assigning heroism to himself & insulting actual heroes. Nobody believes this, right? -
Maybe this is the solution we need,
@TitusNation! At the next school shooting, which will probably he soon, let's give@realDonaldTrump the opportunity to face shooter w/AR-15 all by himself. Hell, let Trump have a handgun. Let's see how brave this lying heap of hot grabage is.
