    Exactly, I think you got it.

    trump tried to enact a little bit of gun control, it was basically the only thing his voter base ever pushed back on, but they pushed back very hard, and he very quickly dropped it

    so demonstrably your understanding of republicans is wrong, so i don’t know where this leaves you

      Trump doesn’t want people owning fully automatic rifles, he doesn’t even want bump stocks to be legal.

      Hmmm

      Me:

      Trump however is more lenient on other aspects of gun control, certainly more lenient than Biden.

      You:

      Trump didn’t enact gun control laws. Therefore you don’t know anything about Republicans. Bazinga.

      Really nailed the dismount there buddy. I’m beginning to understand why you’ve drawn the other conclusions that you have.

      Take it easy.

        yes he signed in legislation, his voter base responded, and he dropped gun control from his platform

        look at his stance now

        almost like this was a direct consequence of the pushback SUPER weird that your voter base abandoning you leads to change in your platform
