Baffled Republicans distance themselves from Trump on guns
By Melanie Zanona - 03/01/18 04:26 PM EST

House conservatives say they are baffled by President Trump’s recent support for a string of Democratic-backed gun control ideas, with some lawmakers even questioning how committed he is to protecting the Second Amendment.

“I don’t know how he came unmoored,” said libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), one of the staunchest defenders of gun rights in Congress.

“President Trump can do more damage than President Obama did to the Second Amendment with the bully pulpit, because Republicans instinctively rejected anything Obama put forward.”

They can go back and read his book The America We Deserve and become unbaffled very quickly about a lot of things.

Republicans as a group definitely have issues, but let's not pretend that Trump's most recent comments on guns are not traditionally Republican values and certainly do not lend to him being the stalwart conservative image that you would like people to believe he is.

Well, like Agassi used to say in the Canon camera commercials, ‘Image is everything.’

Just like Trump, he was secretly bald, too.

Yeah, you gotta be a special kind of stupid to be baffled when Donnie is revealed to be as liberal as he's bragged.

President Trump thinks 2nd Amendment champions are afraid of the NRA.  What say you RIV...Do think Rep Thomas Massie and the GOP is afraid of the NRA?
