On Wednesday, Republican Sen. Ben Sasse (NE) issued a sharp rebuke of
President Trump in response to his comments about gun control and due
process. "We're not ditching any Constitutional protections simply
because the last person the President talked to today doesn’t like
them," said Sasse.
In a meeting with Congressional Democrats and
Republicans on Wednesday, Trump said he wants to figure out a way to get
guns out of the hands of mentally ill people, like the Parkland
shooter, and suggested he was willing to deny due process rights to do
so.
"I don’t want mentally ill people to be having guns,"
said
Trump. "You have to do something very decisive. Number one, you can
take the guns away immediately from people that you can adjudge easily
are mentally ill, like [the Parkland shooter]. You know, the police saw
that he was a problem, they didn’t take any guns away. Now, that could
have been policing. I think they should have taken them away anyway,
whether they had the right or not. But I’ll tell you this, you have to
have very strong provisions for the mentally ill."
