I've been among Trump's most vocal supporters.
BIG MISTAKE to go back on his word and take ANY gun control actions. He's promised repeatedly he would not.
BIG MISTAKE. If it's "just" bump stocks, I'll be angry but live with it. If he's seriously looking at any AWB he will no longer have my support at all.
George Bush was a 1 term POTUS in spite of being the most qualified POTUS in my life and the highest approval rating of any modern POTUS since the 1970s. Why? He lied and raised taxes going back on his promises.
I'd urge Trump to rescind this immediately. His base is gun owners. This will not go over well.

I think this is probably another "Ivanka whispering in his ear" similar to the missile strike on Syria because Ivanka was emotional over the pictures of Syrian kids. We may be able to change his mind.

Never was a republican never was pro gun. He said what he needed to get elected. Turns out he may be a politician after all. Bumpstocks and binary triggers were nothing more than a way to skate the full auto laws. They may end up fuckin us all in the end. Banning them may be a no brainer for lawmakers and could start the ball rolling. God I hope not.

Trump was elected because people found him not quite as bad as Hillary. Not for his pro gun values. He threw the libs a bone.

Maybe Im in the minority here, but the were not going to stop until' a little something was thrown their way. Give them the shitty bumpstocks which are total crap anyways, and keep them quiet.

Trump is a Fudd. Dig deeper and really pay attention to what he has said over the years in regards to firearms.
This comes as no surprise to those of us who researched him before--some of you drink the potion as bad as the Liberals you despise!
"I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record."
The America We Deserve - by Donald Trump. Page 102
