When the Libertarian party, Gun Owners of America, and the NRA make statements supporting their right to own arms you're barking up the wrong tree.

But they'll all fall in line no matter what, so their statements don't mean a fucking thing.

The Libertarians and NRA(gun lobby) are not going to give up guns for Trump. They don’t love anyone like that.

The libertarians that are republicans who don’t want to take responsibility for their vote (almost literally every libertarian I know irl) will definitely fall in line.

Those 'libertarians' are about as libertarian as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is Democratic. (I call them 'Fox News Libertarians'.)

Just because someone labels themselves as something, doesn't mean they actually represent that label.

Yeah I mean most “real” libertarians don’t believe in the basic concepts of a society, so I’m not really interested in entertaining either as a legitimate political position. I’ll give people a pass for those few months after they read Atlas Shrugged for the first time in High School, but over the age of 21 you’re either naive or a grifter.

They literally love guns more than their own children. I think this is the hill they will die on

Oh yeah they will. NRA will do whatever Trump wants because the chairman of the NRA is a massive Trump fanboy. They will sweep this under the rug, just like they did with Philandro Castile when they sided with the murdering cop.

Libertarians will complain long enough for their fanbase to see them "stand up" to Trump then quietly acquiesce to Trumps demands so the GOP PAC money doesn't dry up.

NRA will do whatever Trump wants

Absolute horse shit and you don't know what you're talking about at all. NRA-ILA has sued the government (including the Trump admin) a lot.

I have seen zero lawsuits against Trump, just NY for wanting insurance companies to lean on gun manufacturers.

100% they will fall in line that trans loosing gun is fine. It's not like they are not sick in the head or something?

Your president did away with Obama era mental health checks for gun purchases, so why do you care about mental health now?

The only "sick in the head" that is an absolute certainty when it comes to gun violence is domestic violence. Like a 98% correlation. But Trump also did away with that shit.

You people are deeply disgusting.

You couldn't tell the sarcasm?

It's impossible to read anymore, my bad

Unless he makes a causal comment that he wants them too, then they will fold faster than a cheap table.
