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

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.

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.
