Republican Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse had harsh words for President Donald Trump Wednesday after he called for the confiscation of guns without due process.
“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump said at a gun control meeting Wednesday. The call induced rage in his base, and Sasse was similarly frustrated.
“Strong leaders don’t automatically agree with the last thing that was said to them. We have the Second Amendment and due process of law for a reason,” Sasse said in a statement. “We’re not ditching any Constitutional protections simply because the last person the president talked to today doesn’t like them.”
Trump’s comments were particularly surprising given their context, spoken just after Vice President Mike Pence called for lawmakers to remember gun owners’ due process rights.

I can’t figure out whether he’s REALLY smart, or just been lucky up ’til now…Repubs will just have to rely on their own courage to stare this challenge down. Harden the schools! #MAGA is bigger than Trump!
I will never give up my gun if I do only criminals will have them
No doubt about it!
Right or wrong, Trump knows how to motivate his base. I can already hear the footsteps of a hundred million firearms owners already headed for the November polls.
We’ll remove him from office, as as many others, if they continue to push the anti-gun idiocy.
I don’t think Pres. Trump is giving up on our second amendment. He is only letting it up to the swamp to see if they can act intelligently. I have serious doubts.
DRAIN THE SWAMP.
Progressive Mentality Is The PROBLEM!

The real issue if NOT about guns, and the knee jerk proposals will have no positive impact upon these incidents. You can trace all of the systemic issues surrounding this event to the Obamination and his henchman Eric Holder. Senior Investigator Bill Marshall of Judicial Watch has a very thorough and compelling explanation confirming the root causes of the incident. Although I thought I would never say this, I have lost respect for Trumps emotional “thought process” on this issue. His New York “upbringing” may be showing here. Or he is still under the mistaken idea that he can achieve “bi-partisanship” with the “American Communist Party (democrats).
