Are those steps in the right direction? Sure, I agree with that.
But nothing will happen unless the NRA gives it's blessing, which it has already done with bump stocks.
The thing is Trump (and the GOP) will talk about everything except one thing: banning guns. In fact, today when talking to victims and their families he even mentioned that there should be MORE guns. In schools. That is the exact opposite of a step in the right direction.
So until there is actually constructive discussion about banning certain guns, the guy who accepted more than 30 million from the NRA won't get too much credit from me. He'll try to do whatever he can that the NRA will green light that will skirt around the real issue without actually doing anything about it.
