Per my reading of the situation, his positions on guns and gun control didn't change. Just the NRA's read on him. Like. I say this as a strapped up lefty who doesn't like that the righties have monopoly on violence that They're willing to use as a political tool. I both own guns and think we need reform

well put. I'm tired of seeing 2a fetishists moaning about the well regulated part of their 'militia'. It's absurd to think bump stocks cmags and all the other shit that enabled the worst mass shooting in US history to happen would fall under the 2a. I'm sick of it.
