Keep 'em guessing

Anyone who is concerned that Trump means what he says (or tweets) is either not listening or delusional. Commentators were in a tizzy this week when he said he'd raise the legal minimum age for purchasing firearms, legislate universal background checks, and allow law enforcement to confiscate weapons from people who they consider a danger to themselves or others, prior to any legal process.

The NRA was, not surprisingly, furious: But they need not worry. Trump has said many things on the spur of the moment only to contradict himself only hours later. He lives in the moment, saying whatever he things will please his current audience, and has no intention of being good to his word.
