Trump last year -Donald Trump marked his 99th day as US president by basking in the noisy adulation of his base and making a pledge to the National Rifle Association: “You came through for me and I am going to come through for you.”

And his base will appreciate that being very strong 2nd Amendment Supporters that they are. You are not revealing anything that shocking, Trump is a very prolific 2A supporter, as are most of the GOP, but when Democrats were in power, why didn’t they make changes especially after the Columbine massacre?
For two straight years when Obama was President, Democrats held a healthy majority in the House and a 55 Seat hold in the Senate, more than what Trump and the GOP hold today, why didn’t they put changes to gun laws when they held all three houses?
By the time Sandy Hook school Massacre took place in 2012, the Democrats had suffered heavy losses in the 2010 Midterms. Republicans re-gaining a majority in the House of Representatives, they also gained 6 seats in the Senate.
It doesn’t matter what we say here. Nothing is going to dramatically change. I see chatter about bills being put forward about age restrictions, but no actual change to cease the sale of dangerous guns. America is past the point of no return when it comes to gun control. They have more guns in America than people and as already pointed out, how the hell are law enforcement going to get people parting with their guns willingly, in a very very very very large gun amnesty?
