“Trump probably thinks it will pay off politically and just wants a deal.”
Didn’t we elect an outsider; a billionaire businessman so that politics would not play a part in his decision making?
Selling your 2A rights down the river to make a ‘deal’ is okay with you?
You are aware that the people voting to take away your right to defend yourself and your family have 24/7 armed protection for themselves and their family, right? And that will never change?
Well right now Trump is an insider incumbent Republican politician looking to get reelected. Politics always plays a role in decision making for all Presidents.
I don't know what Trump plans to do but my guess is he wishes to cut some deal to take the gun issue off the table. But we shall see.
