The democratic party is a coastal shitlib SJW party. They are on record as opposing taxcuts, they were the party of obammycare (which cost them their "blue dog democrats", a term you don't hear anymore) and now he wants to doom them on guns. They're a radical left party now, and it's very hard for them to win in "middle america". The more he exposes their power level, the harder that gets.
They are vulnerable in red states, particularly those senators. By offering up gun control, if they don't vote for it, they will disappoint the base and look soft. If they DO vote for it, away goes the red state moderates, and out comes the republican base in droves to the polls in 2018. By keeping it in the spotlight he forces those dems to take a side and make a statement. Coastal senators (the ones talking) WANT this. The middle america guys don't.
Turtle mitch won't let any bill get to Donalds desk, it's a bluff. But it's also Donald trying to boat anchor vulnerable dems in 2018, knowing he has 3 years to repair his image.
Wasn't it obvious? He's going to make them cuck or go nuts, either way they'll alienate moderates or radicals and the bill will never pass.

He wanted to show everyone who anti-2A the Democrats are. Have them pile all sorts of shit into the bill, since he knows it'll never pass Congress. It also explains why he told Scalise to leave national reciprocity out of it.

Kevin Nelson
Be this all as it may, the simple fact of the matter is, there are a LOT of people (mostly normie types) that take Trump's bluffs at face value, and end up very pissed with him as a result. This is particularly true when you take a sensitive topic like gun control, which is pretty much the one singular right-wing issue you don't even want to begin to fuck with--there are a LOT of single-issue voters on the subject of guns, and boy, it's something that gets people fucking pissed when you start going after them. Especially when you factor in that we have a Republican controlled government, and in some ways, Trump's rhetoric is even more extreme than Obama's was post-Sandy Hook. I mean, people are flabbergasted as to how there's even the slightest risk that there might be new gun control regulations rolled out.
So, my point is, if this IS his plan, it's fucking risky. I can only see it, along with his other bluffs, working out in the long term if we end up with big wins on things like immigration, gun regulation rollback, etc. Otherwise, there's a lot of people out there who are never going to see the "4D chess" aspect of this, and are going to be permanently dejected with Trump. I mean, really, relentlessly faking out his base like this had to take its toll sooner or later.

100% fact from start to finish. I think a lot of his gambles were water under the bridge, I think this one, he is moving backward in the hopes of moving forward. The gunfolk are absolutely irate - some promising to stay home in 2020 and using the words "betrayal".
>So, my point is, if this IS his plan, it's fucking risky. Is it? Talk is cheap, he can say whatever bullshit he wants and let legislator take the heat by drafting a gun-grabbing bill and vote for it if they have the balls (they don't). He's calling their bluff and kvetching.

There is no way in hell a gun bill is passing. Remember when dems sat on the floor of a CLOSED house and periscoped their virtue signalling asses? Nothing came of that, either. Trump is feeding the dems wet dream of finally getting him to capitulate, and he is rallying his base by doing it.

What are you gonna do, vote democrat? Obviously if you don't want Trump you won't vote for him even if you agree with his gun views. Maybe cuckservatives would stay home, but if you're politically-motivated, who else are you going to vote for?
Trump is just destroying the political landscape. "Never trump" democrats have to take a stance on gun control, align with Trump or ruin their credibility. "Muh guns" "at least I still have the constitution" cuckservatives don't have anyone left to vote for. Maybe some other party could arise, pro-gun and anti-immigrants, killing the Republican party in the process.
Eli Morris
I sincerely doubt he's going to send his kid to jail. Some of this is donald running his mouth and seeing what people like. Some of this is donald reaching out to the middle that he apparently currently has, and will need in 2020.

Many of these guys were cruzbots and nevertrumpers, politics to them was a purity litmus test for conservatism. They had a trust issue with donald to begin with. IN SOME cases, he may have done some serious harm.
Joshua Gutierrez
Yeah, I mean, again, I can see the logic behind what he's doing (assuming that it really is 84D backgammon and all), but I do think this one particular bluff might have been a step too far. I think what really pushed it over the fucking edge was the terminology he used of "taking guns" (even though, yeah, it's been quoted out of context somewhat, that's a HUGE nono), and the imagery of Feinstein gleefully wringing her hands like a kike really brought terror and disgust to the hearts of gun owners everywhere.
And, like I said, it was only a matter of time, I feel. You can only fake out your base so much before people start to feel genuinely betrayed.
>Talk is cheap With most issues, sure. You underestimate just how fiery people get over gun control.
Of course, voting Trump again is the -sensible- thing to do. But not everybody is sensible. Especially on such a sore-spot like guns, I do think he could very well stand to lose some support, and any lost support is bad, especially since, despite what the rising approval ratings might hint at, I don't think he's really gaining much support from the other side. At the very least, these moves kill the enthusiasm of a portion of his base, and enthusiasm was a HUGE part of what drove him to his victory in 2016.
Don't forget that, all things considered, despite being an electoral college landslide, he was up against a god awful candidate, and only won by a razor thin margin in several key states. I don't think he can afford to give up any of his core base. But, the long term game is much more important than the short term here. If he doesn't get people riled up for the midterms and get himself a Congress he can finally do something with, he may very well lose in 2020.
Charles Davis
This, in part was what caused that thought to rattle around my head. "Wait a second, they have no fuckin desire to do any of this. Donald's not dumb, what's he thinking. What's his play."

>Can only fake out your base so much Perhaps so. Perhaps. Again it comes down to alternatives. If the dems, in their anger, run a Kamala Harris on a "Muh california" platform, I think they might show up to vote again, just as many nevertrumpers voted for the pussygrabbers because mm'hillary clinton.
>Gun control is sacred vs many other issues It's true. This is the riskiest one, and I think a "Hey Idon't know if that was such a good idea" moment I can point to.

With rhetoric like this I can't even fathom giving him a lame duck period that comes with a second term. Due Process Second is an idea that scares the fuck out of me and not because of guns. Shit like this is the reason guns end up getting put to work. Venezuela and South Africa seem to have embraced the Due Process Second idea pretty thoroughly.

This is one of the "Oh boy, did he step in it" points. He not only looks bad on guns, but a big question mark on constitutionality. That's 2 strikes, 2 BAD strikes to the hard right gun-base, and in short succession. Making Feinstein smile is "Chris-Christie hug" territory imagery - if the 2016 primary was on TODAY he would have lost it, imho.
However, I will say this in terms of how the guy loses. IIRC before the libshits hated this guy - Guinness book of world records once gave him the biggest comeback in business history. He did once fail bigly in business, and built himself back up. Politicians double down, triple down, apologize, lie, etc. Donald seems to adjust from failures, I say this as someone who liked 2 other guys in the primary before him.
Kayden Bailey
>Arrive, Raise hell, stay
Yes. This is what we CAN do, and what we SHOULD do. If it's spacechess, this is our part in the plan. If it's NOT spacechess and he fucked up - bail him out, make the feedback so big he can't ignore it.

Eli Williams
Correct
I get what's going on, but I also post here and follow Trump's thinking. I've had to explain this to my gun friends, all of them with varying levels of worry and feelings of betrayal. I'm usually the first to jump on politicians for wavering on gun rights and I'm feeling very much like I'm coming across as a hypocrite trying to describe what's going on. 2a people are very fickle, thankfully. Hopefully the outcome of this makes the gambit obvious to them, even CNN is picking up on it
Feelings complicate it! Most people can be fair judges with no dog in the fight. But when he went for guns, he rustled some jimmies. Now with emotions running high - and a side step onto m'constitution? Oof.

Yet to get a drivers license or a permit(16) you need to take classes. Also conceal carry requires a permit too.
The issue with guns isn't age or permit. It's education. I don't mean education on guns but education on patriotism. Since we get all these unpatriotic children getting guns, legally or illegally, with nothing to do with protecting yourself, protecting the constitution, or with the attempt to join the militia when you get called.
That's what this all boils down to which gets neglected because in the end there is no real solution. Since it requires work and none of these fucks want that responsibility because of the effort required.
Alexander Reyes

If this was a bluff (he called for a fucking ban on ASSAULT WEAPONS) it's WAAAAY too fucking far.
Gun owners put him in office in the first place. We knew the score should Hillary have won the election, well before the first memes started flying, we knew it was inevitable she would win the Dem Primary, and we know her open record for Gun Registration, bans and confiscation.
Even if the meme machine had never happened the Gun Owning US public would have been out there in droves, as the largest voting bloc in the US with the highest turnout by percentage of ANY bloc.
Voting against Hillary.
Gun Owners handed him the election on a silver fucking platter. Stop going to boomer gun forums and go ask /k/ what it was like. It was win or die faggots

How the fuck can you defend your president saying he wants guns to be confiscated WITHOUT DUE PROCESS.

You think it's a coincidence that the deep state is running shooting psyops at ever increasing frequencies, and running anti-gun propaganda 24/7, and that the president declares now that something must be done about the gun situation? Says he wants to ban assault weapons? Says he wants to take them without due legal process?
Are you going to keep gargling Trump's balls once the gun confiscation begins too? "It's all 6D chess my dude, it's to appease the Democrats and so the press will lay off him a bit, something about the midterms too I reckon."

Most of /k/ became Sup Forumsack for the election. I'd say dedicated /k/ommando's were a large part of the meme machine in the year+ before Trump's victory Hillary winning the dem primary was inevitable All of the gun owning public knew it was coming. Some old fucks thought a young neo-con named Cruz could stop hilldog. Others knew it was more expedient to back a wild card with bottomless pockets. Elections after all are won and lost in the financial arena in today's fucked up post-reason America. I don't know why you would think /k/ or the politically active gun owning public would not take shit like this VERY SERIOUSLY. The 2A has been under grave threat for over a CENTURY.
You don't get to dial back shit like "18yo (ADULTS) shouldn't have access to long guns" "We need an ASSAULT WEAPON BAN" "Take the guns, do due process later" "Stop tacking (CCW) Reciprocity onto bills"
Trump has so damaged his reputation with his gun-owning base that it would take him signing, into law, multiple pro-2A bills - which he does not have the political capitol to do and will probably lose any chance in hell to achieve in 2018
Don't you fucking dare stand against us, we were all on the same fucking side

The gun is the last defense we have against total leftist/jewish societal, economic, political domination.
