anything spinal-related, or brain-related, or requiring multiple surgeries over time to fix. a broken neck bankrupted the late Christopher Reeve.


Fortunately for him, from my quick read earlier I think his bullet wounds are pretty standard and are expected to heal up well vs. super serious spinal damage.

The man who boosted gun sales to record levels during his administration, especially those scary "assault rifles" that some people have their panties in a knot over. If I'd owned Bushmaster Firearms during those years I would have made a public show of sending him quarterly dividend checks.

None of your post refutes the logic he speaks in this video about the reason for a lack of gun control laws in the USA.

Trump Says He Would Have Rushed In Unarmed to Stop School Shooter

Quote:
The president also said he would have run into the South Florida high school where 17 students and faculty members were killed in a mass shooting, even if he was not armed, and he criticized law enforcement officials who were at the scene of the school shooting but did nothing to try to stop it. He called their performances “frankly disgusting.”

“You don’t know until you test it, but I think, I really believe I would have run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon,” the president said.


Mr. Trump also said he would not wait for Congress to act and he would ban equipment that can turn semiautomatic rifles into automatic ones through executive action.

Mr. Trump said he had lunch with senior officials in the National Rifle Association, a powerful lobbying group that has been successful in defeating gun control measures. “They want to do something,” Mr. Trump said of the N.R.A.


He would hide in the stalls and start tweeting
# School Shooting very bad
# Schumer and Pelosi’s fault Roy Moore Should Have wonn
# No Russia collusion Fake News
# covfefe
# Deep State Secret Service prevented me from rushing gunman

It is kind of hard imagining a draft dodger voluntarily rushing into a building unarmed to face someone who is shooting people.

His bone spurs would perhaps be a useful impediment if the situation ever arose where he was nearby to potential victims.

Cameron Kasky's younger brother, Holden, is autistic. He was in the school during the shooting and sheltered with Cameron. Here's a link to an interview with Holden, on Twitter.
