Trump Calls For Literal Gun-Grabbing [VIDEO]

USA Today reports:

President Trump said he favored taking guns away from people who might commit violence before going through legal due process Wednesday, one of many startling comments he made in a rambling White House meeting with a bipartisan group of lawmakers.

Trump also called some of his fellow Republicans afraid of the NRA, said “we must harden our schools against attack,” and called for other steps to end the “senseless violence” that has claimed lives in classrooms, night clubs and work places across the country.

“We can’t wait and play games and nothing gets done,” Trump said two weeks after a mass shooting that claimed 17 lives at a high school in Parkland, Fla. “I like taking guns away early,” Trump said. “Take the guns first, go through due process second.”

If Obama had called for literally grabbing guns, Fox News would have exploded into millions of enraged teabagger molecules.

But since Trump just said it…..nothing.
