In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal.
Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

Today, we remember Uvalde.
We remember the 19 children and 2 teachers who were mercilessly gunned down.
The kids who hid underneath their dead classmates to survive.
The parents who had to submit DNA to identify their own babies.
We need an assault weapons ban. Now.

It’s elementary. If only one side is pushing it will get a lot of its way. The only workable remedial action is to make clear to all relevant parties that there are two sides pushing. And act accordingly.
