He said he was "open to discussions," but in the end, he still has to vote and it's his final vote that really determines where he stands. He said he is in favor of raising purchase age to 21 (Trump is in agreement with that). He said he favors improving NCIS (Trump also in support of this). He said he thinks states need to be required to share more info with feds (for NCIS to work, that sort of has to happen). He said that we need to have uncomfortable discussions about the type of information that is shared (ie - loosening HIPPA laws so that docs and other med practitioners are able to share mental health and other information with NCIS). He said he is open to "discussions" about magazine capacity, but we'll see if he's that serious on that. He tried to hold ground against AWB and tried to articulate the fact that there's no difference between what people think of as "assault weapons" and other semi-automatic rifles. That didn't go over well, of course, because the mob was seemingly on board with getting rid of all semi-autos including hunting rifles and handguns. He tried to back the dem Representative (Deutsch?) and Sen Bill Nelson into a corner on whether they were advocating getting rid of all semi-auto including hunting rifles and handguns. I don't think that he did all that bad really given the hostile environment. Again, what will matter is how he votes and how he leads on the issues.
Yes he caved. What makes you think just because Trump supports it, it is in alignment with those of us who believe in rights and freedom?
21, I don't support it. I support that none of the mob in that arena should be allowed a gun, however I know many responsible ADULTS who are 18 who use guns responsible. Why don't you come out to a high school trap shoot? There you can see "kids" who know how to be responsible. Invite Trump and your liberal friends. All are welcome.
Bump stocks -WTF?
And he did state he was open to banning high cap mags. What a turn coat.
