"Trump has betrayed us, I was behind him fully until he went off the rails with gun control. I admit I was hoodwinked." +1
Me too. I love everything he did last year.
"he is being himself; impulsive" +1
He may not have any ill intent on this, from his viewpoint just looking for a quick practical solution and compromise to get it solved while shaving off some minor details. As a rich pampered and protected celeb, even with good intentions he is still CLUELESS about how normal people actually need every single word and every nuance of these Constitutional protections just to survive. And for this nation to survive. I still don't completely get it - his instincts on America are usually pretty good. This is like a short circuit or a hidden defect.
But he judged the gun community response expertly and knew we would be divided over some of his proposals, keeping tentative support higher and protest lower.
And he doesn't seem to have gotten any meaningful amount of protest yet. Those of us who are sending messages must be a small minority and just not hitting the numbers to get a memo onto his desk. Somehow we need to get heard - just getting disgusted won't do nearly as much good as actually changing his direction would. This is existential. If Trump and the GOP create some holes in our rights, then whenever the Dems gain control they will use those holes to pry our rights completely apart. Goodbye 2A.
So, for those of us who are awake and care about this - keep contacting Trump, the WH, the Trump 2020 campaign, the GOP/RNC, your Sens/Reps, your state people, and the NRA/GOA/etc. Gotta be heard, urgently.
