Anytime a national tragedy happens, Democrats are quick to scream and point their fingers at Republicans for failing to do something about it. Look at what happened in Florida. Gun control advocates are quick to blame the GOP for failing to push tighter gun laws.
President Trump reminded Democrats of one thing: if they were so hell-bent on these ideas, they could have passed these types of laws when they controlled all three branches of the federal government.
Just like they don’t want to solve the DACA problem, why didn’t the Democrats pass gun control legislation when they had both the House & Senate during the Obama Administration. Because they didn’t want to, and now they just talk!

EXACTLY.

Why’re you quick to assume he wants gun control?

Look how well that’s working out for us.

Something is CLEARLY wrong with that picture.
So do something about it, Art of the Deal.#IMPOTUS

Again, who’s to say Trump WANTS gun control? This is Democrats’ way of deflecting.
First of all, there was no DACA problem before you – you created it by ending the legislation last year.
Second, the Dems did address gun control. They passed a bill preventing the severely mentally ill from buying guns. And guess what? You ended that one too, last year!

Actually, DACA was a problem that Obama created.
Politicizing this tragedy! Deepening the divide! Making it all about you! While families bury their loved ones and have to figure out how they can go on with the rest of their lives. You are truly a horrible person.

The Democrats did that when they started advocating for gun control while there was still blood on the ground.

No, fool. He’s saying if you guys were so passionate about this issue then you would have done something under Obama.
DURRR.
I'll happily join in and blame the Democrats for not passing common-sense gun safety laws, as long as we agree that such laws are both morally and practically necessary.

More Democratic talking points.
This is your chance to unite America. You should prove that you're able to do what the Democrats failed to do. You should provide permanent legal status to DREAMers and pass common-sense gun safety laws, both of which are strongly supported by a majority of the American people.

This is the most desperate plea EVER.
You're the president now. Why don't YOU do something with all that power?
— Lynn Collette (@pdxposhy) February 18, 2018
Um, probably because CONGRESS has to do something about it.
What are YOU doing?

He’s pointing out the hypocrisy.
And what the hamburger are YOU DOIBG Trump with full GOP control of the government? NOTHING!
— Bishop Talbert Swan (@TalbertSwan) February 17, 2018
Translation: You aren’t pushing gun control, therefore, you don’t care about anyone but yourself.
The best the sitting POTUS is willing to do is talk about what Dems didn’t do in 2009. In the meanwhile, Americans DIE! Pathetic!
— Bishop Talbert Swan (@TalbertSwan) February 18, 2018
Why is it okay for Democrats to spew talking points left and right but it’s not okay for Trump to do the same?
Open up your blinders, man.
Trump, you’re a disgraceful, infantile little whiner incapable of doing anything meaningful. Your modus operandi is to point fingers at Obama. Newsflash: as dispicable as it is to stomach, you’re POTUS Trump! Stop with the childish excuses while Americans die! #GunControl

Hmmm. Where, oh where, have we seen this tactic used before?
Oh. That’s right. Obama.
