So? Trump is constantly fighting with people and disrespectful. He is a national embarrassment. He is obviously one of the most negative presidents ever. There is nothing aspirational about him, his agenda or the way he conducts himself. If he’s not fighting with John McCain, he’s disrespecting a war widow. It’s some new low with him everyday. I’m surprised there was 5% positive coverage of him, what did he do that was positive?
I thought there was nothing to consider beyond the fact that illegal gun sales should be met with prosecution to the fullest extent of the law? I am not here to defend Breitbart.
If you don't want to share your solutions to prevent carjackings then that is a loss that the readers of this message board will have to deal with.
To summarize:
The solution for carjackings is: "car jacking is a terrible crime and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law".
The solution for gun violence is: "illegal gun sales is a terrible crime and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law".

President Donald Trump came to power as a wrecking ball. His campaign promise to “drain the swamp” captured the public’s disdain for the status quo in Washington.
His inaugural address continued the theme, putting the establishment on notice that their days of “reap[ing] the rewards of government” were over. “Today,” he said, “we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another—but we are transferring power from Washington DC, and giving it back to you, the American people.”
While Trump ran an unorthodox campaign, pundits and historians will judge his presidency by all of the usual standards: the performance of the economy, leadership on the world stage, navigation in times of crisis, and success in implementing his policy agenda.
And in each of these four categories, Trump has rung up significant success in his first six months in office. Major economic indicators—from GDP growth to inflation and unemployment rates—have improved. The S&P 500 and Dow have gained roughly 9% since Trump took office, while the Nasdaq is up almost 15%.
Trump’s foreign trips and dealings with world leaders have been widely lauded as successful, especially his recent address in Poland. He met his first real crisis—the mass shooting of members of congress and staff on in June—with poise and sober leadership. And he has achieved several policy successes, too, from repealing 14 of President Obama’s signature regulations to winning Senate confirmation of Neil Gorsuch as Supreme Court justice.
But what if we were to judge Trump’s presidency thus far not by traditional metrics, but on his own terms—specifically by his success in upsetting the status quo. In Trump’s own words from his inaugural address, “What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.”
Right out of the gate, Trump enacted policy reversals in key policy areas. His immigration executive orders—particularly those concerning the enforcement of immigration laws and the temporary travel ban—markedly upset the status quo. Another tectonic shift took place when he pulled out of the Paris climate agreement, reclaiming a little piece of American sovereignty in the process.
One of establishment Washington’s main functions is regulation. The federal bureaucracy has increasingly insinuated itself into the day-to-day lives of Americans for years. Perhaps Trump’s most overlooked achievement is the progress made toward dismantling the administrative state. According to the American Action Fund, his actions have reduced regulatory costs imposed on Americans by $70 billion. Going forward, he has promised to eliminate two regulations for every new one enacted.
Of course, Trump’s Twitter feed upsets official Washington’s apple cart almost every single day, even when no policy issue is involved. The president’s tweets give us a window into his thinking, cutting right to the point and, often, attacking his detractors. His lack of decorum on Twitter can be painful to watch at times, but it offers the American people a totally unprecedented level of transparency about their elected leader. And that’s as anti-establishment as it gets.
Clearly, Washington is a far different place today than it was six months ago. The economy is stronger. The regulatory state is shrinking, not growing. Our international relationships are taking a decidedly different shape. The federal judiciary is taking on a more conservative cast, and our laws are being enforced at the borders.
On top of that, Trump has made some significant progress toward the signature goal that set for himself. Through executive orders and with bold legislative proposals such as his “skinny budget,” Trump is slogging his way through the status quo, working to drain the swamp.

Yes, car jacking is a terrible crime and is usually prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The problem is the law is for shit. The crime is typically committed by juveniles and they get a slap on the wrist. Thank leftist ideology for that. What should happen is they should be tried as adults and get 5-10 in the joint. Show a gun while jacking, get 25. Shoot the gun gets you life. Kill someone gets you the needle. No exceptions, no possibilities of parole. Watch the car jacking go down.
I didn’t see any real positive stories here, just right wing spin. Trump has not done anything substantive. The deregulation hasn’t done much but made us more risky and polluted. Trump has taken credit for the economy and defeat of ISIS but he hasn’t done anything in those areas. They are leftover from the previous administration.
Everyday Trump changes the news coverage of him by starting some petty beef and that is why his coverage is so negative.
That is not true. The only reason why coverage is so negative is that 90%+ of reporters are crazy left-wing liberals. That is the only truth.
Concealed carry is a game theory creature. The conditions required for it to work make for a horror world to normal people and an elegant fear-free one to another kind.
Nash who was responsible for extending game theory into social policy was brilliant but a paranoid schizophrenic, he hid this well but it colored his view as for him mistrust of other people was his normal life, he had nobody to lose. He powerfully changed the nature of American society.
Wayne LaPierre... Left or right both sides seem to agree the NRA's new gun sales tactic since the Obama boom... well the bipartisan backlash has not been strong enough. What is next, sniper scopes targeting enemies of the NRA?
We can't fix the law with the NRA doing what they do.

Oh, because the country is a model of unity and tranquility under Trump? Things are going great. Can you point to one thing Trump has actually got done?
Too many to list, but please feel free to indulge...
