In a remarkable televised meeting in the Cabinet Room, the president appeared to stun giddy Democrats and stone-faced Republicans by calling for comprehensive gun control that would expand background checks, keep guns from the mentally ill, secure schools and restrict gun sales from some young adults.

WASHINGTON — President Trump stunned Republicans on live television Wednesday by embracing gun control and urging a group of lawmakers at the White House to resurrect gun safety legislation that has been opposed for years by the powerful National Rifle Association and the vast majority of his party.
In a remarkable meeting in the Roosevelt Room, the president veered wildly from the N.R.A. playbook in front of giddy Democrats and stone-faced Republicans. He called for comprehensive gun control legislation that would expand background checks to weapons purchased at gun shows and on the internet, keep guns from mentally ill people, secure schools and restrict gun sales from some young adults. He even suggested a conversation on an assault weapons ban.
At one point, Mr. Trump suggested that law enforcement authorities should have the power to seize guns from mentally ill or other dangerous people without first going to court. “I like taking the guns early,” he said, adding, “Take the guns first, go through due process second.”
The declarations prompted a frantic series of calls from N.R.A. lobbyists to their allies on Capitol Hill and a statement from the group calling the ideas Mr. Trump expressed “bad policy.” Republican lawmakers issued statements or told reporters that they remained opposed to gun control measures.
“We’re not ditching any Constitutional protections simply because the last person the president talked to today doesn’t like them,” said Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska.
Democrats, too, said they were skeptical that Mr. Trump would follow through.
“The White House can now launch a lobbying campaign to get universal background checks passed, as the president promised in this meeting, or they can sit and do nothing,” said Sen. Murphy, (D) of Connecticut.
At the core of Mr. Trump’s suggestion was the revival of a bipartisan bill drafted in 2013 by Senators Joe Manchin III, Democrat of West Virginia, and Patrick J. Toomey, Republican of Pennsylvania, after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Despite a concerted push by President Barack Obama and the personal appeals of Sandy Hook parents, the bill fell to a largely Republican filibuster.
The president’s embrace did not immediately yield converts. Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, said after the meeting that he was unmoved, repeating the Republican dogma that recent shootings were not “conducted by someone who bought a gun at a gun show or parking lot.” Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Republican who sat next to Mr. Trump looking alternately bemused and flustered, emerged from the meeting and declared, “I thought it was fascinating television and it was surreal to actually be there.”
When a gunman walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, he was carrying an AR-15-style rifle that allowed him to fire upon people in much the same way that many American soldiers and Marines would fire their M16 and M4 rifles in combat.
But Mr. Trump suggested that the dynamics in Washington had changed after the school shooting in Florida that claimed 17 lives, in part because of his own leadership in the White House, a sentiment that the Democrats in the room readily appeared to embrace as they saw the president supporting their ideas.
“It would be so beautiful to have one bill that everyone could support,” Mr. Trump said as Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California and a longtime advocate of gun control, sat smiling to his left. “It’s time that a president stepped up.”
Democrats tried to turn sometimes muddled presidential musings into firm policy: “You saw the president clearly saying not once, not twice, not three times, but like 10 times, that he wanted to see a strong universal background check bill,” said Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota. “He didn’t mince words about it. So I do not understand how then he could back away from that.”
Just what the performance means, and whether Mr. Trump will aggressively push for new gun restrictions, remain uncertain given his history of taking erratic positions on policy issues, especially ones that have long polarized Washington and the country.
The gun-control performance on Wednesday was reminiscent of a similar televised discussion with lawmakers about immigration last year during which the president appeared to back bipartisan legislation to help young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children — only to reverse himself and push a hard-line approach that helped scuttle consensus in the Senate.
Mr. Trump’s comments during the hourlong meeting were at odds with his history as a candidate and president who has repeatedly declared his love for the Second Amendment and the N.R.A., which gave his campaign $30 million. At the group’s annual conference last year, Mr. Trump declared, “To the N.R.A., I can proudly say I will never, ever let you down.”
But at the meeting, the president repeatedly rejected the N.R.A.’s top legislative priority, a bill known as concealed carry reciprocity, that would allow a person with permission to carry a concealed weapon in one state to automatically do so in every state. To the dismay of Republicans, he dismissed the measure as having no chance at passage in the Congress. Republican leaders in the House had paired that N.R.A. priority with a modest measure to improve data reporting to the existing instant background check system.
“You’ll never get it,” Mr. Trump told Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the House Republican whip who was gravely injured in a mass shooting last year but still opposes gun restrictions. “You’ll never get it passed. We want to get something done.”
Mr. Trump also flatly insisted that legislation should raise the minimum age for buying rifles to 21 from 18 — an idea the N.R.A. and many Republicans fiercely oppose. When Mr. Toomey pushed back on an increase in the minimum age for rifles, the president accused him of fearing the N.R.A. — a remarkable slap since the association withdrew its support for Mr. Toomey over his background check bill.
“If there’s a Republican who’s demonstrated he’s not afraid of the N.R.A., that would be me,” Mr. Toomey said after the meeting.
The president appeared eager to challenge the impression that he is bought and paid for by the gun rights group. While calling the N.R.A. membership “well-meaning,” he also said he told the group’s leaders at a lunch on Sunday that “it’s time. We’re going to stop this nonsense. It’s time.”
Striker is off the mark in a few key meta-philosphical respects.* However, as Luke Ford proposes sundry weasel-ways-out for YKW misdeeds, and indeed proposes arguments of their being outstanding contributors to Western society, Striker manages every time to keep YKW culpability zeroed into the cross hairs, holding them concretely to account with each of Ford’s arguments.
Where Ford proposes that they are tax contributors, Striker (he says the correct spelling is Stricker) counters that their Orthodox community is a welfare burden; and that affluent Jews make use of tax loopholes and write-offs.
Ford puts forth the low Jewish crime rate, Sticker of course notes their white collar crime.
Ford maintains that Jews are often professionals, and thereby held to professional-society standards, Stricker maintains that these professional societies can rather function as networks for the YKW to cover for one another - the Sackler family’s coercion of the professional journals and FDA approval allowed them a boon in the promotion of opiate addiction.
Ford suggests that these are individual cases, and Stricker counters that in fact, it is Jewish networking that allows individual Jews to get away with these kinds of offenses.
The ADL is well funded by Jewish donations and it has been funded heavily with big Jewish-Las Vegas-Mafia money.
In a sexually degenerate society, Ford points to Orthodox Jews as paragons of virtue, normally virgins upon marriage, maintained even amidst the most licentious inner city cultures. Stricker observes that the Orthodox are a small minority of Jews, looked upon rather like retarded siblings by the more jaded broad pattern of Jews (including liberal Hollywood mavens).
Ford suggests that Italian mafia had about equally significant a role in the pornography business, Stricker corners the YKW’s disproportionate role in porno by calling attention to the corollary between porno production locations and Jewish communities/demographics.
Interesting trivia fact - the infamous quote from Jewish pornographer Al Goldstein, “we (Jews) are in the porn business because we think Jesus sucks” came from an interview conducted by Ford himself, back near the turn of the century.
* Notably, Stricker is off the mark in saying that socialism + nationalism is the “German way” , i.e. represented by so-called “National Socialism.” In fact, Nazi Germany was ultimately not national socialist, but imperial supremacist.

Gniezno Cathedral Door - detail. Saint Adalbert of Prague pleads with Boleslaus II, Duke of Bohemia, for the release of Christians slaves by their masters, Jewish merchants.
Diversity Macht Frei, “Christian slaves, Muslim masters, Jewish slave-runners: ‘The slave-dealers in Europe were almost all Jews”, 23 Feb 2018:
In Islamic slave markets, all races were not considered as equal. Negresses were held in particularly low regard.
“At the markets negresses were much in evidence; the darker the uglier and the more pointed their teeth,. They are not up to much. They are fickle and careless. Dancing and beating time are engrained in their nature. They say: were the negro to fall from heaven to the earth lie would beat time in falling. They have the whitest teeth and this because they have much saliva. Un-pleasant is the smell emitted from their armpits and coarse is their skin.”
White slaves were the most highly prized of all.
As regards prices, the white slaves—aristocracy of the slaves—stood on quite a different footing. A good-looking, but untrained, white slave-girl fetched 1,000 dinars or more.
Jews were principally responsible for trafficking white Christian slaves to Muslims.
In the rest of the empire the supply of white slaves was confined to Turks and members of that inexhaustible race which has given the caste its European name, “the slav(e)s.” The latter was rated higher than the former as merchandise. Says Khwarezmi: We take to Turks when no other slaves are available. The chief article of export from Bulgar—capital of the Volga Bulgarians—was slaves who were thence taken to the Oxus’. Samarkand was the greatest slave-market noted for the supply of the best white slaves, and depending like Geneva or Lausanne of our time on its educational industry. The second channel of import for slaves of Slavic nationalities lay through Germany to Spain and the Mediterranean harbours of Provence and Italy’. The slave-dealers in Europe were almost all Jews. The slaves came almost exclusively from Eastern Europe as is the case today with the “white slave traffic.”
…Finally the third route for the slave trade likewise led from the western slave countries, then at war with Germany and consequently productive of human merchandise, to the East over Prague, Poland and Russia—a route followed by Rabbi Petachja in the 6th/12th century. In the 4th/14th century Prague was the starting-point, being a centre of the then slave-trade. Saint Adalbert gave up his bishopric in 989 A.D. because he could not redeem all the Christians whom a Jewish dealer had purchased.

The role of Jews in the traffic of Christian slaves to Muslim lands is confirmed by a letter Bishop Agobard of Lyon wrote to his king, Louis the Pious, in 826. Titled (“On the Insolence of the Jews“), it was a complaint to the king about Jewish slave-running and general arrogance.
This was during the period of Muslim domination of large parts of Spain. Agobard himself had been born in Spain. He notes that Christian slaves were being sold to the Muslims there by Jews. Although these slaves were probably trafficked from elsewhere, Agobard also records example of local Christian children being kidnapped by Jews and sold to the Muslims.
The Jews began to rage with a certain odious insolence, threatening that we would be afflicted with every sort of injury by the agents whom they had obtained to take vengeance upon Christians. After them, Evrard arrived and repeated the same thing and said that your majesty was truly angry with me because of the Jews.
…We suffered these things from the Jews’ supporters and for no other reason but that we preached to Christians that they should not sell Christian slaves to them; that they should not allow these Jews to sell Christians to Spain nor to possess them as paid domestics lest Christian women celebrate the Sabbath with them, work on Sundays, eat with them during Lent, and their paid servants eat meat on these days; and that no Christian should buy meats sacrificed and butchered by Jews and sell them to other Christians; and that they should not drink their wine or other things like this.
[…]
After the preceding note had been dictated, a certain man from Cordoba arrived, fleeing from Spain. He said that he had been stolen as a little boy by a certain Jew of Lyon 24 years before and sold, and that he had fled this year with another boy from Arles who had been likewise stolen by a Jew six years earlier. When we sought out those known to the man who was from Lyon and found them, some said that others had been stolen by this same Jew, others bought and sold, and that this year another boy was stolen and sold by a Jew. At that moment it was discovered that many Christians are sold by Christians and bought by Jews and that many unspeakable things are perpetrated by them too foul to write.
