MSNBC legal analyst and former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann joined Jen Psaki Monday to discuss the legal ramifications of footage where former President Donald Trump held a gun on a campaign stop in South Carolina.

The Trump campaign walked back statements on Monday that Trump bought a Glock handgun while in South Carolina for a campaign stop. In a video posted on social media, Trump was seen holding the firearm and saying that he “wants to buy one,” which would be illegal since he is currently charged with 91 felony counts.

“It’s unfathomable that you’re sitting here having that conversation,” said Weissmann. “He has been on air today about possessing a firearm.”

Weissmann continued that the magistrate judge told Trump that the most important thing to do when on bail is to not commit another crime. “Well, it is a crime for somebody who is charged with a felony to receive a gun. There are pictures on Twitter of him holding the gun,” said the MSNBC legal analyst.

“Does he need a receipt?” questioned Psaki. “His campaign came out and said he didn’t purchase it.”

“The law is not that you can’t buy a gun,” said Weissmann. “922(n) is that you cannot receive a gun that has traveled in interstate commerce. That just means that it’s traveled across state lines.”

Weissmann noted that the Glock Trump was holding in footage must have traveled across state lines “because they’re either made overseas or they’re made in Georgia, but they’re not made in South Carolina.”

So holding a Handgun is illegal?
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

No such laws or restrictions exist. It is a complete fabrication.

Practically every gun sold in the US travels across state lines.

I'll gladly yield to someone with actual knowledge, but I think the standard would be no criminal convictions, no restrictions. People can't be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Anyone else get the feeling Trump has never actually shot a handgun before... When I pick up a gun that looks halfway interesting, I have got to feel the balance of it in a shooting position (finger off the trigger of course). I guess I should give Trump some slack (when he is not discussing taking gun rights without due process), a photo opt is not really the time to be aiming guns around (too crowded). If really serious about a gun, I want to feel the trigger pull tension too.

I don't know if there are more pictures than the two, but can you imagine the hysteria if they had images of him holding the gun in a firing grip, sighting down the slide and his finger on the trigger?

I don't suppose he has. Of course, even touching one of those eeeevvvilllllllllllll handguns - as Trump did - is as bad as committing mass murder, dontcha know.

As for his breaking the law by holding a pistol in his hands, I doubt it. Presumption of innocence, and all that.

I don't think that is correct.  I think he has to be convicted.

Yep, must be convicted. And even a convicted felon can look at a gun, just not buy it. Many states only require a driver's license to inspect a weapon.

And the state lines crap doesn't mean anything.
