I Carried an FBI Badge for 25 Years. Trump's New Gun Rules Will Cost Lives.

I’m a gun owner. I carried a badge and a pistol for 25 years and received some of the best firearms training in the world throughout my FBI tenure. My career and investigative experience inform what I’m about to say.

Donald Trump’s recent actions will make us less safe and cost lives. Ask most reasonable gun owners, including Trump voters, if they think people with mental illness should purchase guns, or if we should crack down on illegal gun sales, or if gun dealers who falsify records and skip background checks should be punished. They’ll give you a sane, reasonable answer that errs on the side of safety.

That’s not what Trump believes.

The Trump administration is now jettisoning over 35 gun regulations, returning gun ownership to certain mentally ill people, and calling quits on efforts to end illegal gun sales. Trump seems hell bent on doing everything he can to go against his own reasonable gun owning supporters and cater to the big money NRA and gun lobbyists who have spent millions of dollars on campaign ads and on get out the vote efforts on his behalf. Trump’s team has already eliminated major gun safety policies, including a zero-tolerance approach toward gun dealers who keep breaking the law. As noted in the New York Times:

1. Exactly. I'm afraid going to the grocery store

I fear that if a customer is upset and not stable with a gun they will shoot up in the store. Our quality of life has gone downhill because of what they have done.
My nephew is a sheriff and he has seen so many horrible things.

2. I'm concerned because I've read of road rage here on on our rural

highways that turned lethal, thanks to guns... as if a 2000 lb car wasn't a lethal enough weapon?! Don't like what some driver did? Flip him off or mouth the word "fuck" and the other driver picks up his gun and shoots you dead as you're driving. Gods, this country is just flat-out sick.
