Now he's against it. I wonder if that flip-flop has anything to do with the $21M the NRA donated to his campaign?

a quote from his book published in the year 2000:

"I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With todays Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72 hours if a potential gun owner has a record."

Or maybe when the 1994 Assault Weapons ban expired in 2004 and people saw that it didn't really make a difference he changed his mind.

The idea that you have to have one political opinion and can never change it is toxic tbh

I still can't purchase an assault rifle as easily as CE makes it seem and I live in Tennessee.

Nobody should be able to produce the wealth of material that https://www.reddit.com/r/TrumpCriticizesTrump/ does, yet here we are. Changing your mind over time is one thing, but changing each and every single opinion you've ever had is another.

I've done that for almost all of my opinions except like two.

i will concede it's hard to determine if Trump's flip flop from Democrat to Republican was due to his views changing or him being an opportunistic piece of shit who believes in nothing but himself.

Trump says things he previously took the opposite stance on to stay popular with people in middle America to enamored with him to question anything.

I wonder if ANY liberal knows that a whole bunch of school shootings happened under it, too.

Wow, he changed his mind over the last 17 years, holy shit. That never happens. I mean you hear all these politicians that have had the same stance on everything their whole career and now Trump changes his mind in the past 17 years, wait...18 years. Hopefully this will get him impeached!

Hate to break it to you but school shootings have only happened in the past year....they never happened before that.

People are not allowed to change their mind in 18 years?
Yes, I love when Trump talks against himself, but 18 years are a too long time.
