It is. I haven't really figured out if D.Trump is a fish or a bird yet - and I may well never will, but no matter how much I hate his guts (well, he only was the second worst candidate in 2016 election final phase), I can't help appreciating his no-nonsense approach to a number of things. Especially the principle of not trying to fix things that aren't actually broken.I'm hoping that's just his excuse to sit on his hands on the whole deal. Per Trumps past record that would be my guess. Plus everyone else saying "see, they just want to take the guns away". Because it's true.
Talking about the possibility and the whole concept of confiscation is a good thing. That, if anything, is a wake-up call to anyone who has ever thought otherwise. The ban has already been imposed on new, fully automatic firearms for 33+ years, "assault" (cosmetically) weapons are next and in the unlikely scenario of their ban succeeding, everything else will follow.
Everything. There's no such thing as a "good gun" in these people's minds. Except - of course - the ones in the hands of the militia firmly controlled by their "great" leaders.
That's why not giving in an inch and never compromising even the slightest bit is not only a good idea. It's the only way to go.
