Coulter rips Trump for signaling support for tougher background checks
By John Bowden - 08/09/19 01:39 PM EDT

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter mocked President Trump on Friday for signaling support for negotiations in the House and Senate over stricter background checks for gun purchases in the wake of several mass shootings.

"QUIZ: Does @realDonaldTrump know less about gun laws or immigration law? WE ALREADY HAVE UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS. Forcing widows to lose money selling her husband's gun to a nephew is not going to stop one gun crime," she tweeted.


"Laws that would actually reduce gun crimes: 1) prosecute of straw purchasers 2) concealed carry laws," Coulter continued. "3) stop hiding the disciplinary records of high school kids 4) allow crazy people to be institutionalized 5) force local officials to follow up on 'red flag' tips."

You've got no credibility on this topic, Ann.

    Where's she been for a week (we know it ain't on the toilet).

Ann doesn't even know exactly what President Trump is thinking of, yet she's already ripping him?  I'll hold fire until I see what's on his mind.

I'm all for comprehensive background checks for transfers among non-family.  I shouldn't need one to transfer a gun to my daughter, but I'm sure as hell not going to sell to a stranger without making sure they aren't a raving nut bar.
