    Yeah, I gotta say that making the election a referendum on Trump personally seems a whole lot more likely to be successful than making it a referendum on the federal AWB. That wasn’t a political success story for the Democrats.

    But, I dunno. Maybe his team has some kind of angle, like they’re trying to move some critical demographic that they think that they can influence.

    EDIT: I gotta say that aside from the question of whether it’s a good policy or whether it’s a good move politically, every time it sounds like a ban is proposed, it sets off a massive wave of firearms sales, so I’d guess that firearms vendors are going to have a good time.
