Is it all designed to get Trump to cave in on the Second Amendment?

Updated,

8.9.19:


This new item allows me to segue into a thought I had last night.  The thought is that there is an "August Recess" in process.  That means that in order to pass any new gun-control laws, they need to be in session.

Evidently, Pelosi cannot do that on her own, and now she calls upon the POTUS to call the Senate back into session.  By the way, that is a joke, because the Senate isn't in recess.  If it were, the POTUS could "recess appoint" dozens of new personnel that is being blocked because the Senate refuses to recess.

All the same, Pelosi and Co. cannot write any laws unless Congress returns to session.  So the question arises:  How long can the Democrats keep the demagogue act going?

Pelosi calls it an "extraordinary" time.  The only thing "extraordinary" about this time is the hype associated with it.

Comment:

The title of this post is a paraphrasing of a comment made by Glenn Reynolds with respect to the link below.

Now for my take...  Trump shouldn't have played the game that he did shortly after the attackHe confirmed what shouldn't have been confirmed.  He emboldened these people, and now he will be forced to veto a bill in order to save his Presidency.

If he doesn't veto what he invited, he may well fail in his reelection bid.  That is why I wrote as I did.  The left can do whatever, but if Trump vetoes anything that comes down the pike, they will need 2/3rds of both houses in order to override.  This isn't likely.

There was no reason to kowtow to people who only want to destroy you.  They'll never be appeased.  It was a mistake.

I don't criticize Trump very much.  Hopefully, this wasn't what it appeared to be.
