Trump needs to not cave on gun control if he wants to win and if he wants my vote.

Like I said, it’s too early to make any pronouncements. There is a very good chance this is just like his rope a dope with DACA. He offered to amnesty 1.8 million dreamers. We see how that bit of political theater turned out, he made the dems look like complete jackasses while giving them nothing.

If this is more of the same, good on Trump. If not, then DJT may have just had his read my lips moment.

Time will tell.

How can you “rope a dope” by ordering the ATF to alter the law by decree?

Who is the rope? Who is the dope?

This is a cave ONLY

I don’t see it as a rope-a-dope moment. I think he’s wrong.

What I said still stands.

I’m not in the slightest interested in buying a bump stock. To me it’s a very quick way to run through ammo.

Now I can’t and shouldn’t make the choices for everyone. If someone sees value in them, let them have them. I’m all for it.

This issue had died down. Now out of the blue, he did this.

Look, I don’t have to agree with him on everything. You tell me who out there has the moxie to do all the things he’s doing, and believe in many of our causes.

Who else can combat the Leftists like his has? I don’t see a single person even 25% as good on that.

Overall, he’s still very positive when it comes to gun ownership.

There’s no way I’m tossing him overboard on a fringe issue related to one important right.

Bump stocks rank down around 15,000th on my list.

I would venture to say that the NRA gave a nod on the stocks after Vegas and will be fully involved in any writing of the details regulating said devices . Bump stocks are idiotic anyways . I think they will raise the age limit to 21 on semi-auto long guns as well .

I completely draw the line at any gun and mag bans . Trump will hold the line on gun and mag bans. I’m also going to send the NRA and RNC some more money . It’s going to be a tough election year.
