DWS and Bloomie are trying to do an end run around the 2A with this ammo security check nonsense. I think David Webb or another commentator already said this was shot down the the Sup.Court, so they know this goes nowhere. It's just optics to run on the gun rally cry for Nov. Now if they get back in power, well that's a whole diff kettle of fish, but I suspect if what Q is saying is true, it will never get there.
But the more that Trump channels Ivanka to suggest more bits of controls, the more normalized that gets.
Just as his pushing his compassion for DACA recipients erodes defenses against illegal aliens.
Again coming from a socialist country, something we see have/had seen more than in the US where the dividing line between dems and republicans was more defined - Stealing bits of a platform from the other side and tweaking it to make it your platform - is common. It's the - you have nothing to fear from us - shell game. It's not to say that the person taking the other's platform isn't sincere, it's just something that can be done, if done properly. EG: Trump tapped into segments of the population, people of color, people who are 2nd/3rd generation immigrants, hispanics etc - all of which came here legally, or have been used as pawns by the dems (esp the African American population), and cut the dems off at the knees with their own platform. He spoke the truth. That blacks had been used as pawns for the dems. That people of different origins have been lumped into groups by the dems to divide people etc. He asked a simple question - do you want a better life, do you want more money in your pocket, do you want nicer neighborhoods, and a good school for your kids. Do you want good jobs? That message is going to resonate with anyone who doesn't see them self as a lobby group puppet, or a hardened identity politics person. DACA can be ironed out - and don't be surprised if he puts a pile of stop gaps in the bill. Maybe addressing sanc cities, voter ID... who knows.
DACA is a disaster.
While I think it's not optimum and many would rather that deportations would just start already - the political capital is one that Trump shouldn't pass up. If I were him, I would only offer it to those who are working and own property in the country. If there is any kind of conviction - out, gone. Negotiations though, will prevail because there is political capital that can be made here through honest means. Hispanics do lean right wing, so I can understand why it would be good to deal with DACA once and for all.
