Re: What is the best reason why President Trump is silent regarding Virginia gun grab
He doesn't give a shit about gun rights. He tolerates it to keep his voter base.
Any vote for a third party is a vote for a Democrat. You are the enemy.

Re: What is the best reason why President Trump is silent regarding Virginia gun grab
Now is not really the time for such a cynical remark. Trump applied for and received a concealed carry permit and owns handguns so there is definitely at least some hard evidence that he does value our gun rights, well that and his actions to protect them as President, which we simply cannot under emphasize during these divisive times.. We are one President and about 4 Senators away from losing much of our 2A. It's time to realize that Trump has been the best friend to gun owners in well over half a century, arguably even more than Reagan. Is there room for improvement? Certainly. But in terms of safeguarding our 2A he's all we could have hoped for and more..Last edited by TSimonetti; January 13th, 2020 at 12:44 PM.

If a state was passing laws against free speech or performing illegal searches and seizures I'm sure the Federal government would be involved along with other states to put an end to blatant tyranny----why is this not done for the 2A or self defense? I think we all know why.....But I digress. However, I assume, in time, Trump will have no choice but to get involved. Sadly, the M.O. of DC on actual written rights is wait until it goes to SCOTUS which could be years later----if ever."I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery." Thomas Jefferson

Re: What is the best reason why President Trump is silent regarding Virginia gun grab
But good wasn't one of the options. You had Trump as the lesser evil, Hillary as the greater evil. Any vote other than for Trump was giving support to the greater evil. Staying out until there was a 'good' option is still supporting the greater evil.
I agree we should work to get a good candidate on the ballot. But until then, you have to vote for the candidates that have a chance that will be the better option.

Re: What is the best reason why President Trump is silent regarding Virginia gun grab
I suspect what you're demanding is a perfect 2A President then not simply a good one. That's fine if you're an absolutist, in which case I agree our rights should not be compromised on, but there are different levels of good, just as there are different levels of evil. Trump is not a lesser of two evils on gun rights. He is a good President on gun rights. and he hasn't actually signed off on any red flag laws yet, which is important to remember.
