I remember Trump making the claim that he was pro gun I knew it was a lie then and I know it now. All us freedom advocates know it. How can his supporters still claim he is a supporter of gun rights? Well he never was a supporter of property rights with his love of eminent domain so it is no surprise that he advocates gun control. This is not new he early on was a fan of the New York stop and frisk law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-and-frisk_in_New_York_City
So stop and frisk, bump stock bans, increased age requirements, and now taking guns before due process. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376097-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second
This authoritarian orange buffoon is against property rights. Trump supporters still backing him care less about freedom and more about their god being the one in charge. All that matters is their authoritarian is boss and they will kneel down handing over any freedom he demands to appease they deal leader.
Trump supporters are the most critical. If he betrays them they will string him up. I think that gynocentrism is the real problem in todays society.
It's been mixed on Twitter but the disgust with he's gun control views is growing and it's encouraging to supporters turn maybe they'll turn away from statism and embrace freedom. Well hopefully.
I think he made a real strategic error by tying the gun-control move to a white mass-shooter. If he'd made it sound more racist, like when he supported stop-and-frisk, he could have gotten a lot more support from the right.
Well during his campaign he said how loved New York Cities stop and frisk I'm guessing his supporters probably don't understand it or being they support he's authoritarian views they did.
"Okay, I know he said he supported gun control – but I didn't think that would apply to me!"
