Trump Calls For Gun Confiscation In Fox News Rant: Cops Should ‘Stop And Frisk And Take Their Gun Away’

You’ve got to let the police do their jobs, number one. Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live. They know every one of them, the local police, and they’re great.

You got to let them do their job, stop and frisk, and take their gun away. You’ve got to do it. If somebody has because they have all these guns — you know, it’s very interesting, the toughest gun law, the toughest, by far, in the whole United States is in Chicago, and yet it’s the most — it’s —

Let all your Republican 2Aer friends and family know.

First they came for the imaginary guns of imaginary black criminals, and I said nothing… Because I was also imagining their weapons and crimes and hiding in my little baby coward bunker of a home trying to buy bulletproof pants online that would make people think that maybe I might not have a tiny, weird penis…

Republicans: You can never take our guns!

Trump: Take their guns!

Republicans:

I’m sure that only applies to a) people of a different skin color first, then b) poor white people a distant second.

If they know these people are active criminals they will have no problem citing just cause for arrest and search.

I live in Canada, our gun rules are different than the USA. This week in my city some charges against a dangerous criminal were dropped because the police had a “flagrant disregard for charter rights” (according to the judge) (oir charter rights are similar to American civil rights)

They searched him improperly, and found a loaded, illegal gun. Charges dismissed. If they had handled it properly they could have made the charges stick. What a waste of everyone’s time. Police didn’t respect his rights because they don’t respect my rights.

“Take the guns first, due process later”

buddascrayon ,

Oh yeah it’s going to make him real popular with the second amendment people. LoL

I think it’ll be hilarious if Kamala Harris released a statement saying that unlike Trump she will never take your guns away. 🤣

cultsuperstar ,

Pretty sure this was on the topic of gun control, he said “taken their guns away and go through due process later” but his 2Aer followers don’t remember that.

bdonvr ,

They know that the police aren’t stopping and frisking THEM so I bet they’d be all for it.

Rentlar ,

Those 2nd Amendment lovers? When you’re their golden idol, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the gussy.

So he’s calling for en mass racial profiling for a gun round up essentially only in Chicago. Jfc. This man is deranged. Bruh this would never happen.

Furthermore, can this man not put a sentence together? Like at all?

Imagine him trying to order something at McDonald’s drive through. He’d be like " I’d like a big Mac, great burger, excelle… ya know, the great people of Texas, their cattle, best cattle and let me tell you… also an apple pie, have, have you ever had an apple from Nebraska? Best appl… Anyway so I’m talking to the mayor of Lincoln, Lincoln Nebraska and he says, he says Mr president that apple this apple it’s for our troops and the troops are, it’s like I tell my kids… and on and on he goes until the drive through employee commits suicide via dipping head in deep fryer

Did I ever tell you about nuclear?

Only if they….how should I put it……don’t look good in spray tan!

Freefall ,

They know he means “take guns from black people”. They support that.

Facebones ,

What I came to say. They know precisely what he means and they support it wholeheartedly.

mctoasterson ,

What are the prevailing sentiments about Bloombergs NY tenure, these days?

This whole “selectively frisking people” schtick was his invention.

ArbitraryValue ,

Well, serious crime did fall dramatically while he was mayor. People argue about whether or not stop-and-frisk was responsible and I don’t know the answer, but his overall policy on policing was clearly very successful. He was popular enough for the city to change the rules about term limits so that he could be mayor for one more term, and subsequent mayors have not been as popular.

HawlSera ,

I mean, I imagine crime rates tend to fall when you get Judge Death out here to declare that being alive is a crime, and if they’re already committing that crime best to lock them up before they do something more serious…

The problem with this sort of thing is that I remember in the 2016 campaign how Trump would go on record saying Highly Objectionable Thing. You’d have the New York Times and such crow that now they’ve got him, print the statement. Trump wouldn’t miss a beat, would just go and say something in complete conflict with the other thing. He didn’t bother trying to reconcile the statements.

I don’t think that that statement’s going to do him any favors, but Trump has said a lot of things on the campaign trail that, if taken at face value, would probably kill his chances as a serious candidate. That didn’t happen in the past. I’m skeptical that it will now.

Oh it won’t drop his ratings like a rock or anything, but it hopefully will turn a few people off. And he keeps saying things that turn a few people off here and a few people off there…

Trump slid by on beginner’s luck.

He won simply by refusing to realize he lost and just continuing on as if nothing happened, previous presidents would have tried to walk back their controversial statements and get caught in a PR nightmare. Trump simply was too insane to realize he made a mistake, and the rest of us realized we were so used to “playing the game a certain way”, we had no idea how to deal with Trump.

When Romney was caught on tape talking about how “33% of Americans don’t matter” he knew he was fucked and desperately took pictures of himself looking confused and out of place at a McDonalds to show he’s “Down with the poors! Even eats the same gruel and wine or whatever these Non-5 Star Restaraunts serve…”, which… Didn’t help matters.

With Trump, you catch him bragging about sexual assault and instead of doing an awkward community outreach program where he tries to convince everyone “I’m totally down with the bitches and the hoes!”, further alienating voters in the process, which is what we expect a politician to do… He just goes on talking about how muslims need to wear special IDs and how Mexico is “sending rapists and druglords!”, and… instead of us ever getting to the part where he goes “Oh shit, I shouldn’t have done that.” and start waffling…

People just kinda get used to him being the “says crazy things guy”, it doesn’t matter what he’s saying, he says it with such confidence…

Which is why changing the approach from “Trump is a racist” to “Trump is just… fucking weird and I can’t be the only one who notices this?” works so well, as that gets people to actually stop and go “Oh yeah, that is weird isn’t it?”

It’s like back in 2016 Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush were race horses giving a good show, and a rampaging bull runs out of the track out of nowhere… And instead of going “Oh my God, there’s a rampaging bull on the race track! Evacuate the race track while we call animal control!”

They just start treating the bull like a valid race horse and criticize the Hillary Horse for running “Not so elegantly herself, to be fair to that rampaging bull.” Not because she is, but because they need to seem impartial.

And the audience just said “Okay, I wanna see what the bull’s gonna do.”, and since no one stops him from simply goring the jockeys of the actual equine with his horns, he wins and instead of the Judges (Electoral College) going “Clearly, somehow, somewhere, someone fucked up. We can’t give it to the rampaging bull”, they said “What could possibly go wrong?”

Anyway then Trump threw out Obama’s pandemic response plan, replaced it with nothing, and several tens of thousands died during Covid as a direct result. Because Trump isn’t an elegant race horse navigating the course, he’s a rampaging bull who keeps trying to kill the medical staff when they treat people’s wounds (in this metaphor… when he kept contradicting health experts, including the guy he put in charge of the CDC…), because we’re too used to a rampaging bull not being here to think anything is weird.
