The way I look at Trump’s philosophy on guns is that he’s a defender of the 2nd amendment and he has a CCL and is likely proficient with his handgun. But he’s not really a gun guy per se. More than likely he runs this stuff past Don Jr. Don probably told him the same thing I said. “Its the least thing you can do to stop the gun control talk”. So he did it.
The manner in which he did it will unleash a literal hell on earth in this country if it passes muster in the courts, which I suspect it will.
Trump may have done irreparable damage to the republic, not because he banned a bump stock, but because of HOW he went about it.
