I did not vote for him based on who was going to pay for it, but the fact that he was at least willing to stand up for something that has been promised since Reagan was promised a wall for amnesty.  So you only want border secuity if someone else pays for it.  I never expected Mexico to write a check. 

Promises are always made on the campaign trail - Look at these  I am glad to know that you consider Obama a liar.  Make sure when you get to the bottom you click through all 7 pages - 

As for where you draw the line on gun bans and "assault weapons" why dont you just spell out what you are willing to give up.  Seems like every time there is a shooting you are always asking why do people need ar15s etc - sound to me like you are unhappy that there are currently between 5 and 10 million of them currently in the US.

I personally would like to know which 2200 guns they name as exemptions - last time they pushed the ban a few years ago they actually would have banned the Marlin 60 .22 which I have hunted wtih since I was about 6.

As for background checks https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/san-bernardino-shooting/more-80-percent-guns-used-mass-shootings-obtained-legally-n474441

Amazing that so many people doing the mass shootings passed the background check.  Sounds like a "manufactured crisis" to me in terms of lets make more laws that only the law abiding are going to follow- bad people do not follow the law and breaking one more is not going to slow them down. 

I would be more impressed if they were looking into the 80% that passed that went on to commit murder and figure out where the current background check failed.
