Is Trump is "evolving" on Gun Control...?

He just tweeted this...


"I will be meeting with the NRA, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no fly list, to buy guns."
 
How do the Trumpies feel, its fun watching him get backed into a corner then punt.

Will they evolve with him?

Too soon to tell, Counselor.

They have to check sites like InfoWars, BareNakedIslam, Breitbart etc., before they know how to feel, don't they?

By the time that happens, Deadbeat Don could have his spokeswoman deny the whole thing ever happened and blame in on the lamestream media.

the will of the people is subordinate to the protected rights of individuals as clearly stated in the constitution and bill of rights. thank you, counselor.

It's always been a logical measure and it's always been a constitutional issue all at once.

At the end of the day, it's typical 'let's do something that makes it feel like we did something'. The reality is terrorists will always be able to get these kinds of weapons because there are millions of them in circulation. In the event you go full blown fascist state and start confiscating the weapons, ______ terrorists and terrorists more generally will just turn to bombs or other means of killing people.

It's window dressing. And I'll say the same thing if it turns out Trump advocates it.

The bolded is an oft-repeated myth. If you look at this incident and who this guy was, it would have been MUCH harder for him to get this kind of weapon. It might well have been enough for him to abandon the plot, or go w/ something far less destructive. Your argument assumes that these guys are all career criminals with easy black market ties.

And it's a bogus argument anyway. Why have any laws at all? People will always break them, right?
