The majority of Dems want tighter gun controls so not sure how he'd piss them off. And a good number of Republicans (30%) want the same but McConnell has consistently blocked efforts to introduce gun reform.
McConnell can no longer do that so you'd expect some kind of reform coming down the pike.
US Presidential Election 2020
I think for me, an abiding image of Trump is him stoking his most looney supporters to 'fight' with zero concern for the consequences.
A huge democratic country being pulled around by a wapred ego. It smacks of dicatatorship. Hitler told his followers that the incumbents were corrupt and only he could free them from the tyranny.

Yep, peddling the "big lie". Hitler it was anti-semitism, Trump it was election fraud.greenmark wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 8:54 pmI think for me, an abiding image of Trump is him stoking his most looney supporters to 'fight' with zero concern for the consequences.

No way the gun owning citizens will comply. New Zealand introduced controls recently with a 9% surrender rate. That doesn’t sound very law abiding to me as it means allot of people don’t care about the fine and prison sentence if they now get caught in possession of banned firearms.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 8:41 pmThe majority of Dems want tighter gun controls so not sure how he'd piss them off.

I'm talking more about tighter gun controls as in background checks. Not talking about people having their firearms taken away from them. That's a myth been peddled by the NRA.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 9:06 pmNo way the gun owning citizens will comply. New Zealand introduced controls recently with a 9% surrender rate.

I know Biden has said he's coming for people's AR15's but like you say the hardcore gun owners wont comply so cant see him going down that route.

Clinton banned AR15 /AK47 type assault rifles but Bush reversed it. Obama, well didn’t do very well on gun controls.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 9:10 pmI'm talking more about tighter gun controls as in background checks.

Believe it or not the only person who brought in signicant changes for California was Arnie.
Obama shed a few tears in front of the cameras!

Trump must know the likely hood is that he is going to a super max prison sooner rather than later.
So, Russia or North Korea ?

Al-Qaeda must have started planning their next attack on the US after seeing how easy it is to enter government buildings.
Unless they're willing to use maximum and lethal force on these idiots who force they're way into Congress they are asking for trouble!
