I hope he does not become more gun-control friendly after his re-election in 2020.
He also sidelined Red Flag laws.
The question remains, will any of these reforms have prevented the so called mass shootings and the daily murders in dem run cities like Chicago and Baltimore.
5m members is a lot of votes.
Pretty sure Ivanka’s bold new action would produce results. She would probably just proclaim they were not the results she intended, like they always do.
The main component of this issue is the mental health area. Something they will never do anything about.
In virtually every case, the shooter displayed behavior that should have brought intervention in one form or another. Multiple agencies failed to do their jobs repeatedly. Schools, police, municipalities, medical services.
The left just wants this issue as a vehicle for further gun control. They have no interest in anything else regarding it.
It wasn’t just the NRA that let him know that universal galactic background checks would cause him to lose.
The American citizens do not want the government to know where every firearm is, that was the point of outlawing private sales, to develop a backdoor registry.
It must really chap the Dems and Marxists’ (but I repeat myself) hide, that any lobbying organization or pressure group, other than their own pet Red Guards / Hitlerjugend ,like Klantifa, are allowed any influence on the decisions of politicians.
I’m wondering if these repeated leaks about Trump’s contacts with the NRA might be coming from Ivanka.
Why is there NEVER any (eg) Pelosi Decides To Give Planned Parenthood 6 Billion Dollars More After Calling (Whoever) or Unions Get More Money After Schumer Calls The Head of the AFL-CIO?
And Obama’s sucking up to BLM showed their terrorist influence!
First he came for the bumpstocks. He is clearly anti 2A.
I thought exactly what you did. I do not trust him at all. He unmasked his true agenda.
Wait....the NRA has political influence? Boy, the Dems are gonna be pissed when they find out about this.
If Ivanka thought that ANYTHING Trump signs would be deemed anything better than "not good enough", then she is too naive to have any policy involvement.
I don’t know, once he is lame duck I think he just might take off the gloves.
I know one thing, contacting only the NRA as his source of sentiment about gun rights is a mistake. He needs to hire someone to do nothing but surf the net and collect the true seriousness of the trending sentiments of the people directly. “Boss... since you made that comment yesterday the people have exploded... This is not a gray area, it is an absolute serious no go zone period.”
These are the words he needs to hear and understand.
The influence comes from its members, who are ordinary Americans resisting government tyranny. The NRA has no existence without them.
Atlantic is giving NRA way too much credit. Trump was/is minimally influenced by outside sources other than as they are part of the overall scene. His decisions on how to treat the Red Flag crap and other gun control rumblings were taken early. Talking to the NRA signaled that the “crisis” point had passed. DJT defused the immediate gun control howl. Atlantic and the left in general would rather believe that DJT is a puppet of his handlers and NRA is one such. That is why the left continually loses in these exchanges. They cannot conceive of a Republican or Conservative acting as his own source. That is why he is always two or three steps ahead of them.
We did not vote for Ivanka and Jared. You dodged another bullet, Mr President.
The NRA knows democrat tricks and lies... thank God they can step in...
