2) His comment reflects gross, inexcusable ignorance (at best). Such ignorance is unworthy of a President.
Seriously, Mr. President: Either get yourself some education on firearms and related topics, or shut your damn mouth about them.
George HW Bush stabbed gun owners in the back. His second term was remarkably productive ...
Someone asked, and he gave his opinion: "I don't like them at all." How is that so terribly anti-2A?
It also reflects a cultural issue - there’s a lot of people the President’s age that were brought up to believe that “only bad people use suppressors,” long confirmed and reinforced by Hollywood movies and before that in pulp fiction and the press.

I agree that President Trump should spend more time learning and listening, and less time talking. I knew that he wasn’t exactly on top of things when he didn’t know what the “nuclear triad” was during one of the debates (or an interview, I don’t remember).
Still, his policies are excellent for the most part, and he does seem to listen to the experts when it matters.
Trump/Pence 2020!!!
GHWB didn’t have jack crap to do with restricting silencers. Educate yourself...

People can be solidly pro-2A and still draw the line at different places. I’m curious, where do you draw the line? Is there any type of weapon that you would prohibit? Machine guns? Flamethrowers? Bazookas?
That might sound snarky, but it’s not meant to be. I’m genuinely curious.
As for me, I pretty much like the prohibited list the way it is now. My major beef is the lack of uniformity in 2A rights across the country. A person can open-carry in some states but not in others. That’s not right.
Now you did it. You said something mildly critical of trump. Here come his troops to abuse you. The true believers around here brook no criticism no matter how mild. Like everyone he does some good and some bad but around here calling out the bad is met with vitriol.
