...How did you watch that and come to that conclusion? What he's proposing is straight-up fascism: let the gov't do whatever the fuck it wants--or whatever Trump wants--and ignore rule of law. That's the way he tried to run the entire presidency, and that should terrify everyone that believes in democracy. Or a democratic republic, if you want to be pedantic. Like, seriously, try applying that chain of thought to literally any other right; would you still say that he was on the right side of things?
I mean willing to remove assault weapons. I honestly don't care how they are removed, the faster the better. Unless you support following strict process over the lives of people, I don't see a problem with that.
He wasn't saying that he had a willingness or desire to remove assault weapons. He was talking about disarming people that he didn't like. Or that law enforcement didn't like.
And I, personally, have a huge problem with eliminating civil rights, even when you have a majority of people voting to do so.
I don't remember him saying that, but sure, whatever.
