    trump did have the balls to use executive order in response to a mass shooting…

    Pretty sure he’s always been against guns tho, most rich people are. They’ve fucked over too many people to want someone to be able to kill them that easily.

    Sure, it eventually got overturned, but it worked for almost a decade before the SC struck it down

    Biden tried to do some, but the ones that actually mandated action never went into effect, and the rest was the usual “looking into” bullshit. You can buy a pistol brace right now, and “ghost guns” are still unserialized.

    So (for completely selfish reasons) trump actually has a pretty good track record on gun control for the last 20 some years of American presidents.

    Which almost everyone willing to vote for him would fucking hate if they weren’t too dumb to notice.

      Kyle Rittenhouse of all people recently called out Trump as being bad for the second amendment, and the folks on the right retaliated by accusing him of being trans

      Seriously, there were people analyzing photos of him “proving” that he was born female. And when he retracted his comment, they dropped the whole thing.

      It’s fucking wild

        I think that really speaks to how we should approach republican voters.

        We’ll never really get their votes, but we can get them to sit this one out.

        Highlight the areas they disagree with rather than try to compromise on policy to hope they jump straight to D.

        Aim it directly at the battleground states, it’s gotta be easier to convince two Republicans to just not vote than to convince 1 Republican to vote D.
