The only talking point we need is "Trump allowed a crazy person to get a military weapon"

Enough of the blaming guns, the FBI, and all the agencies that dropped the ball.
Simple fact, a mentally challenged person was allow to purchase, legally, a weapon of mass destruction because of Trump-period.

1. THIS

2. Nope. The problem is guns.

Everything else is a deliberate diversion.

Cruz would not have been barred from purchasing his assault rifle even if there were regulations in place to prevent people with mental health problems from purchasing weapons.

The problem is guns.

3. This we know and it will still polarize people

The fight needs to go directly to Trumps door and he needs to become the poster child for school shootings
Getting rid of Trump is numero uno in importance for our future.

4. Trump had only been in office about 3 weeks if the date that Cruz purchased the AR-15...

Is reported correctly (Feb 11).

5. "Republicans", not merely Trump.

Kremlin Don is head of their party, but it's a party that has been rolling back restrictions on gun sales long before he had any power.

6. I'd say

"HELPED" rather than "allowed"... but the others are correct, it's the R cabal even more so than the cheato.
