Asimov's Foundation! Don't make me laugh...

The wall is an example of Trump doing something he said he would do? That is one of the most stupid things I've read here in a while. Trump said he would build the wall and make Mexico pay for it. The Trump administration managed to build 80 new miles of wall; Mexico did not pay. He did manage to improve parts of pre-existing wall though.

Trump left a long list of promises unfulfilled.

Bragged covid would go away.
Said he would be too busy to play golf.
Repeal the ACA and replace it with something better.
Failed to bring corp tax down to 15%
Bragged he would make the economy grow, it stalled instead.
He left our troops in Afghanistan for Biden to screw up.
He went back on his promise to put Clinton in prison as soon as he was elected.
He failed to block all muslims from entering the country.
No real progress on national debt.
He failed to make a dent in the illegal immigration population here.
He only got $21 billion of the $1.5 trillion promised for infrastructure development.
He did not re-instate torture of terrorists.

This is only a tiny part of the long list of promises Trump made and has not kept. Trump's legacy will be that of a proud rapist and insurrectionist who avoided responsibility for anything.

Just because left and right wing anti-gun zealots supported the gun grab does not make Trump pro-gun. Trump is a gun grabber. This means he is just another anti-gun politician.

Trump was the one that used his authority as head of the executive branch to ban bump stocks. It was not forced upon him. Even if Congress had passed a bump stock ban, Trump could have vetoed it. But no, Trump went out of his way to order that the Code of Federal Regulations classify bump stocks as contraband machine guns.

This anti-gun insanity started back in 1934 with passage of the National Firearms Act signed by FDR (D). It required registration, a $200 tax, ATF authorization and the local sheriff's signature on the registration form for a non-licensee to make or transfer a machine gun, silencer or other NFA firearm.

In 1986 the Firearm Owner Protection Act was signed by Reagan (R). It contained the Hughes Amendment which banned the registration of new machine guns by unlicensed civilians. That is why all machine guns owned by non-licensees are at least 35 years old and most cost over $10,000.

In 2016 the Obama administration eliminated the sheriff's signature on the tax stamp application. This eliminated the most common obstacle to owning machine guns and other NFA firearms in the USA by individuals. Obama's action was the most significant pro-gun regulation or law change since the 2004 sunset of the AWB of 1994.

What was Trump's biggest thing regarding gun control? He had the CFR amended to screw over as many as 500,000 law abiding Americans by taking or destroying their property without compensation. While the 6th circuit court invalidated the ban, this is not nation-wide. The judges that Trump put on the Supreme court have not done a damn thing for gun owners as far as the bump stock ban is concerned. Even if the courts reverse Trump's gun grab, Trump is still a vile gun grabber.

This is how Trump grabs gun owners by the pussy. He is proud of that crap.

Lots of people approved of Clinton's AWB back in 1994. Clinton is still an anti-gun dork just like Trump. At least the AWB had a grandfather clause so no one had to turn in their guns. By classifying bump stocks as contraband machine guns, Trump was able to ensure he screwed people out of their property without compensation.

Do you think it was liberal Democrats that owned most of the bump stocks? Of course not. It was mostly right wing supporters of the right to keep and bear arms. Trump's gun grab was a big "kiss my ass" to his supporters. But most of them are still stupid enough to support him.
