Guns do make it easier to kill, but they also make it easier for people to protect themselves, and people use guns defensively about 5 times more than guns are used in crime. crimeresearch.org/2026/05/de… Two groups of people benefit the most from owning guns — poor blacks who live in high crime urban areas an people who are weaker physically (women and the elderly). The rules that you want hurt both groups making it more expensive to get a gun and delaying how quickly a woman who is being stalked or threatened can obtain a gun. As a police officer you know that you virtually always arrive on the crime scene after the crime occurs. You also know your views on these regulations isn’t share by most officers. crimeresearch.org/wp-content… You probably also know that many countries with these types of gun control laws have much higher violent crime rates than the US. Canada crimeresearch.org/2026/06/in… Australia crimeresearch.org/2026/06/in… Those higher rates are also true for make countries in Europe like the UK. You probably also know that many countries in Europe with exactly the laws you want have higher mass public shooting rates per capita. crimeresearch.org/2020/04/ne…

In the clip, Trump is likely referring to economist John Lott. Lott authored "More Guns, Less Crime," advised the first Trump DOJ on crime statistics and gun policy research around 2020, and has continued contributing to 2A efforts. That lines up with the "almost 6 years" timeline and focus on protecting the Second Amendment through data and analysis. Other Johns like Sen. John Cornyn have also pushed related priorities, but Lott fits the behind-the-scenes expert angle best.

In the clip's context of protecting the Second Amendment, a leading candidate is economist John Lott. His research in "More Guns, Less Crime" and prior Trump DOJ role on crime stats provide data-driven support for gun rights policies. Senator John Cornyn has also pushed ATF alignment with pro-2A priorities. Without the exact quote, it's the strongest match for behind-the-scenes expertise.

Plants sure as heck don’t view CO2 as pollution.
Today, NASA satellites confirm Earth is greening dramatically. CO₂ fertilisation has added biomass equivalent to two continents of new forest in recent decades, boosting crop yields and ecosystems alike. Oceans, holding around 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere, continue their ancient dance of absorption, circulation and outgassing under Henry’s Law. The natural world keeps working its wonders. The real question isn’t whether CO₂ is 'pollution', but how we pursue genuine abundance and resilience while staying humble before these vast systems.

Some of these answers by Democrats are hard to understand. Their view of BLM is more positive than the American flag? Of course, Democrats have a very negative view of the police Blue Line flag.

BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that the semi-truck driver charged w/ killing PA State Trooper Michael Pahira Jr. in a crash in PA on Wednesday is a Haitian illegal alien who flew into the US via the Biden administration's CHNV mass parole program in 2024 & received his CDL from the state of Massachusetts. The Trump administration terminated his legal status in 2025, but he remained in the US illegally and had been living in MA. According to PA State Police, Trooper Pahira Jr. was inspecting a semi-truck on the side of the road in Schuykill County, PA Wednesday morning when a truck driven by 33-year-old Michael Bon veered off the road and crashed into the truck Pahira was inspecting, creating a domino effect that killed him and caught both trucks on fire. Bon has since been charged w/ homicide by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter, and other charges. DHS BACKGROUND ON THE ARRESTED TRUCK DRIVER MICHAEL BON: - Michael Bon is a Haitian illegal alien who first flew into the US in 2024 via the Biden administration’s CHNV migrant flights mass parole program. - Bon flew into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport on 7/2/2024 where he was admitted into the US by CBP as a parolee via the Biden program. - On 10/26/24, Bon applied for (Temporary Protected Status) TPS under the Biden administration, but it was denied. - On 6/13/2025, The Trump administration USCIS issued Bon a Notice of Termination of parole (revoking the legal status he had via Biden). - Despite his legal status being revoked, Bon remained in the US illegally. - The state of Massachusetts issued Bon a commercial driver’s license (CDL). - ICE has placed a detainer on Bon with PA law enforcement Photo courtesy: WFMZ screen grab

Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000. Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.” Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag. Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.” Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why. Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.” That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated. Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.” The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment. Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.” They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground. 8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access. The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

It is pretty clear you don’t know how business works. Unlike government that uses FORCE at the point of a gun, businesses offer people a service that they VOLUNTARILY decide to purchase. That applies to selling buildings or anything else. You want the government & FORCE involved more in people’s lives. BTW, is Bitcoin a scam?
We have a president pocketing billions with a crypto scam, while Susan Collins became a multi-millionaire, funneling taxpayer dollars to her husband and profiting off stock trades while in office. Enriching yourself through public office should be a crime.

.@MorosKostas, I would argue very differently. Yes, more capable guns make it easier for bad people to do evil things, but they also make it easier for good people to protect themselves & their families. Semi-auto guns make it so people cans defend against multiple attackers or if their first shot misses or they wound but don’t stop the attacker. In expensive guns help the poor who are the most likely crime victims & so on.
Yes, more capable guns can do more harm in the hands of evil people. That's not groundbreaking. Obviously, an AR15 is more capable than a revolver or a bolt-action rifle. But it's also constitutionally protected precisely because of that capability. The Second Amendment is not about the minimum-possible lethality that is still effective for self-defense. It recognizes a natural right to keep and bear arms for personal and common defense, against everything from rabid animals and criminals, to tyrannical armies and foreign invaders. Moreover, of the tens of millions of AR15s and similar rifles out there, an astonishingly small percentage of them are every used in any crime. Still, I agree that we should address rare mass shootings, and there are a number of ways to do this: 1. Stop releasing violent criminals early, as Everytown's political allies frequently do. Like Smiley Martin, who committed the Sacramento mass shooting that got Everytown to successfully push for a Glock sales ban in California. He was out of prison 6 years early thanks to Everytown-endorsed Governor Newsom's initiatives, serving only about 3 years for felony domestic violence. (I see why they don't want to stop releasing criminals - those criminals give them pretexts to pass more gun control!) 2. Stop making everywhere a "sensitive place." At this point we know from numerous mass shooter manifestos that they specifically target places where armed resistance is unlikely. Stopping law-abiding people from carrying guns just creates a dream setting for killers. If a series of these scumbags met humiliating ends at the hands of a quick armed response, many of them would stop trying. As the data shows, people with carry permits almost never commit crimes. There is no reason to ban them from carrying in so many places, as they present no public safety threat. Unless of course, Everytown wants mass shootings to be successful so they can ban more guns. In that scenario, of course they don't want any pesky armed citizens stopping their next gun ban push. 3. Stop giving mass shooters the media infamy a portion of them crave. While not true of all mass shooters, many in that profile do desire the media coverage prior ones have gotten. That should be denied to them as much as possible. smokinggun.org/new-report-as…
