you trust the guy who actually got an unconstitutional ban thru more than the people who just say mean things about guns?I don’t trust Trump to not do something stupid with gun control.
I obviously trust him more than the Democrats on that front.
Chase Oliver would be the one I trusted most to protect the 2A.
You’re trying too hard. What did I literally lead with?you trust the guy who actually got an unconstitutional ban thru more than the people who just say mean things about guns?
as we saw on this forum, a lot of the pro-2A people are going to give Trump a pass because they worship him. I can easily see him using the assassination attempt on him as justification, and many of his crowd will fall down and worship his bootheel again.
Always makes me laugh seeing the "no step on snek" people become "please step on snek" people when its a spray tanned toupee doing the stepping.

Trump was terrible on the 2A.
I trust either the same.You’re trying too hard. What did I literally lead with?
What else have I said, in this very thread? Which you acknowledged?
So to sum up:
- I don’t trust Trump on 2A
- Trump was terrible on 2A
But only a fool would trust uber-Liberals like Kamala/Walz more than him.

I was about to bring this up and know we'd discussed this very thing before. It's a pretty small step to lawfully incorporate a bump stock under the same umbrella as an auto sear under the NFA. (The ATF failed at the SCOTUS level because they didn't have that small step in place) The property rights issue was the big "Wait...what?" part.The Trump bump stock ban wasn't a 2nd amendment issue, it was way worse. It was a property rights issue and the fact it survived it's first federal court challenge is a travesty.

Well that’s just silly. And your still ignoring my close -I trust either the same.
the difference is that the Right will let Trump walk all over their 2A rights without a peep. (please step on snek). which means Trump is far more likely to get something actually done. which makes him the bigger threat, and he has the track record to go with it.
meanwhile Kamala has mean tweets to her record as executive.
actions speak far louder than words to me.
I would trust Oliver much more than either of them.Chase Oliver would be the one I trusted most to protect the 2A.
Any chance Trump knew it wouldn't hold up against SCOTUS, and used it as a way to work with Dems to get something else passed later?? Maybe wishful thinking..but idkThe Trump bump stock ban wasn't a 2nd amendment issue, it was way worse. It was a property rights issue and the fact it survived it's first federal court challenge is a travesty.
Okay that makes sense and I probably given him too much credit. But wouldn't it behoove a president who is trying to get reelected for political reasons to install something like this bump stock band. Knowing it's going to get overturned because it's unconstitutional and not expecting it to even make the appeals as a political ploy to gain cross Isle support??I highly doubt it. My guess is he just did it for political reasons, to look like he did something after the LV shooting.

Kamala/Walz. because they aren't going to get anything done. The Rs won't let them, but the Rs will let Trump push something.Well that’s just silly. And your still ignoring my close -
I would trust Oliver much more than either of them.
So on the single issue of Gun Control in 2025 - you would feel better with Kamala/Walz & Democrats vs Trump/Vance & Republicans.
It’s not a question of whether they both suck or not. They do. You don’t get to pick “neither”.
it did not piss off his base at all. there were multiple posters in here licking his boot. "who needs a bump stock anyway?". "well it hasn't been ruled unconstitutional yet, so it can't be that bad."Not IMO, it just pisses off your base and shows that you put your own political future over individual rights.

Even now, when presented with the facts there are right leaning members in here who are just defending Trump on 2A rights.
There's a balance to this observation of yours...Trump's judiciary has been a very good thing in keeping the hoplophobes and anti's at arms length. Have you seen what Biden/Kamala would absolutely have done if they could have managed it? Some of it is simply amazing. Biden selling the idea that a bullet will travel 5x faster merely by being fired from an AR-15 than other guns is Mount Rushmore of stupid gun lies material. Do not think for a nanosecond the only thing keeping Biden/Kamala et.al from tearing into the 2A like a tornado in a trailer park isn't a lack of opportunity and not a lack of trying.Kamala/Walz. because they aren't going to get anything done. The Rs won't let them, but the Rs will let Trump push something.
I went and bought my first gun after Trump won, because I knew he was an actual threat to get something done. Trump proved that decision right.
When Biden was elected, I knew the possibility of gun control getting passed dropped considerably, and did not buy a gun. Biden/Kamala have proved me right again.
Trump becomes president again, and I will probably buy another gun, before he can push more bs again, and the Rs won't say crap to stop Trump like they would a D pushing the exact same measure.
you feel free to continue to argue against mean tweets and sound bites, I pay attention to what actually happens. And that shows Trump is an actual threat.
My God man - You’re just constructing strawmen at this point.Kamala/Walz. because they aren't going to get anything done. The Rs won't let them, but the Rs will let Trump push something.

Its their political football. just like the border is for Rs. They aren't going to get anything done, because the other party won't let them, and it ruins a talking point for the next election.There's a balance to this observation of yours...Trump's judiciary has been a very good thing in keeping the hoplophobes and anti's at arms length.

do you really think a narcist like Trump isn't going to go after the 2A after a private civilian nearly killed him with a commercially available gun? He is not going to run on the issue, because he learned he needs more than his base 35% to win. But its not going to be far from his mind.
