Trump Just Made A Jolting 180 On This HUGE Gun Issue Amid the increasingly important gun control debate happening in our country right now, presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle are weighing in on one extremely important piece of proposed legislation.
That legislation is the widely publicized assault weapon ban.
Obviously, all the democratic candidates are all for it. We wouldn’t expect any more from them.
The republicans, on the other hand, have thrown a few curveballs – Trump in particular.
At first, Trump seemed somewhat supportive of an assault weapons ban, but now he’s starting to change his tune.
Politico has the details:
Donald Trump on Thursday night said he no longer supports a ban on assault weapons, another in a series of policy reversals during the Republican debate.
Stressing that he is a strong defender of the Second Amendment, Trump commented that past shooting incidents could have been prevented or lessened in impact if more people could carry weapons.
“But in 2000, you wrote in your book, ‘I generally oppose gun control but I support the ban on assault weapons,'” moderator Bret Baier queried.
“I don’t support it anymore. I do not support the ban on assault [weapons],” Trump affirmed.
The exchange came after Trump earlier professed the importance of flexibility, and also said he was “softening” his hardline stance against visas for highly-skilled workers.
What do you think? Is it encouraging to see Trump change his mind on the assault weapon ban?
Even if he’s only doing it to get support, it’ll be a positive thing if he sticks with it.
