So much reality show type idiocy and wishy-washy inconsistency going on in this administration.
Trump supported a ban on assault-type rifles....... before he became a presidential candidate and won the support and $30million contributions from the NRA.
As a candidate, he then courted and stroked gun enthusiasts, criticized gun control, and referred to the NRA as the greatest of patriots.
Two days ago, following the latest school massacre by a teen with an AR15, he met with Democrat and Republican congresspersons and expressed his support of gun control measures like raising the minimum purchase age to 21 and confiscation of guns from some people without due process. He declared he's not afraid to go up against the NRA and also requested that Dianne Feinstein add a ban on assault-style rifles to the draft bill. All of this was televised.
Then....last night, Trump and Pence met with NRA lobbyists again. And, today, NRA lobbyist Chris Cox is actually speaking for the President and the Vice President, which is pretty telling and troubling in itself.
Cox stated that the President and Vice President don't support gun control, in complete contradiction to Trump's own words only two days ago.
Huckabee-Sanders says the President's stance on gun control hasn't changed. It would be nice to know which version of his stances she's referring to.
The White House really needs to clarify the official stance, in writing.
