I think what Trump is doing is both bad and good. Good because he is showing moderates and others that he cares and wants to get a better understanding of the issue before he says there is no compromising the second amendment.
The bad is that Hillary will take the same position now and take it off the table. This will shut down the wall, terrorists,etc.
It’s a trap.
IMO it’s equivocal at this point. (saying the same as you) He’s just “talking” about gun control. As if this simplistic issue has not been talked about enough.
