        Buck stops with; Obama Bush Clinton Reagan Nixon And on and on. Pointless singling out an individual president. Guns must be a deep seated national problem not just a presidential one.

        For a time during Obama's tenure, the Democrats had control of both the House and the Senate. Why didn't they pass such legislation when they had the power to do so?pic.twitter.com/3XFllWGMxR

        Why did authorities not take action when alerted to these people Simple answer do nothing get a big enough movement going so they can disarm the public then they have more control over the people and the left wins Go figure

        Let's be smart. Where are these shootings taking place? In areas where guns are not allowed. There are schools in the US with armed teachers - there will never be a massacre at these.

        It does stop with Trump but his hands are mostly tied. The NRA was one of his most vocal supporters in the election and he also needs to stay broadly inline with Republican policies if he is to get their support for his primary goals of improved economics, immigration and defence

        And how is one President gonna take back all those weapons from a nation that claims they are almost a human right. What if the folks just stopped shooting each other? About as much chance of one as there is the other... #Sad_but_true

        Only buck Trump knows is the dollar! And as for the Republicans they just want power even if they have to put up with a goose like Trump,ill bet the gun lobby even as we speak is pumping lots of money into Washington, how much will these poor victims be sold out for this time ?
