This guys right. Everything Trump has said in the speech is wrong.

It is concerning that Trump said flat out that he wants to take guns away before trials/due process. Sure, he says it’s for “potential criminals” but all human beings could be classified as such.

Also troubling is militarizing the police. Why???? I can understand hiring more police and with better training to areas with a lot of crime. And he claims this is for the safety of the people. But militarization of the police makes me feel unsafe, especially when there are FEMA camps being reserved (not used for its supposed purpose during Katrina).

Ron Paul made good points & would have been a much more realistic leader - too bad he didn’t have the charisma and know the right people or whatever.

I personally would want to get the full context of "take the guns first, then worry about prosecution". And his vow to deal with criminals with guns in a severe manner doesn't mean he is against protecting the right of 'mere' people to defend themselves against criminals w/their guns.

Too much selective editing in this video and too much paranoia. Allegedly Trump walked back his apparent support of "red flag laws". We can only hope so. And we should do everything we can to make sure Trump really understands and supports true 2nd Amendment rights.

Maybe you're right. People learn things at different times. Hopefully he now understands the gravity of what he said

The right people knew Ron Paul that's why he didn't have a chance. They are doing the same thing to Tulsi now.

To answer the OP: I'm not 100% sure, but he's all we've got.
