I’m hoping he’ll be prompted to re-evaluate his position if sufficent numbers of his supporters spread sound, well-reasoned arguments. He does listen in as much as can be expected, especially when representatives of public opinion have high profile soapboxes (such as well-respected (by Trump’s standards) journalists.) Also through grassroots appeals to his campaign in sufficient numbers, it is hard to ignore a flood of hand-written letters.

Personally, I give Trump more leeway to make mistakes than career politicians, he isn’t one. But because of this, because I can forgive his stupid-mouth, it is crucial that I make noise when something he does disturbs my liberty-conscience mind, as this does. I really hope more of his supporters see things as I do (forgiving but loud.) If it ever comes to the point he acknowledges a unison voice of reasoned dissent, yet ignores it, then we must re-evaluate our support. I have faith in Trump, eyes wide-open, but the day I blind myself is the day I’ve sold myself down the river. Know when to walk away from a bad deal.

Great post, John.

You don't weigh in often, but when you do, it's ALWAYS a post worth reading.

I’m sorry John, if Trump doesn’t already know that it is unconstitutional to infringe the right of US citizens to purchase a firearm without due process, then no “prompting” will fix his mistaken position. IMO, Any candidate for president that proposes or supports any unconstitutional idea automatically disqualifies them from occupying the Oval Office.
