BTW, I don't remember your name being on any of those threads as a supporter of Trump.
Let's see if you have enough backbone to apologize.
“President Trump is a squish on the Second Amendment. He supported the ban on bump stocks.“

That hardly makes someone a squish on the 2nd Amendment.
US gun control
The NRA made a concession on bump stocks – but did we all just get played?
Excerpt:
The NRA’s concession, heralded as a breakthrough, is so small it is hard to see with the naked eye. The gun rights group broke its silence on the Las Vegas shooting Thursday as media reports suggested Republican members of Congress might support a ban on “bump stocks”, a device that allows semi-automatic rifles to mimic the rapid fire of a fully automatic weapon. Officials confirmed that Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock had 12 rifles fitted with bump stocks in the hotel suite he used to stage his attack.
It is not clear how closely the Republicans and NRA coordinated on Thursday, but they moved in quick succession.
“Clearly, that’s something we need to look into,” the House speaker, Paul Ryan, said in a television interview early on Thursday, noting that he had never heard of bump stocks before.
At 2.14pm, the NRA sent out a press blast suggesting that bump stocks “should be subject to additional regulations”, and calling for more review.
At about 2.30pm, the White House press secretary, Sarah Sanders, said during a briefing that “we’re certainly open to having that conversation” on regulating bump stocks.

This was before the primary.
I obviously disagree. The ATF reclassified bump stocks. An Executive Agency. At the time, President Trump's agency.
What the Legislative branch thinks about bump stocks is, well, not relevant.
I've fired a weapon with a bump stick. It was fun for about 60 seconds. Then boring. Not my cup of tea. but then, this is about Executive Branch overreach.
Oops again.;-) 18 days not 16.
