    Trump unilaterally criminalized possession of a popular gun accessory via executive action, which was more aggressive "gun control" than anything Obama ever implemented -- but it doesn't fit into a neat political narrative on both left and right, so barely gets acknowledged

        He did not use executive order. He ordered the DOJ to have the ATF reinterpret the existing ban on "machine guns". Owning a bump stock now is considered owning a MG. A fed judge upheld saying that "machine gun" was ambiguous, and he deferred to "the experts" defendants (ATF)

        Imagine what could be accomplished if the Dems would get over themselves and tried to persuade the president to do things they wanted. He has few political principles to hold him back.

        Oh it gets referenced a lot in the 2A community. It's a big reason why many gun owners don't trust him or the GOP. A big part of the troubles that the NRA are facing internally is due to their being too soft on protecting the 2nd.

        LOL. Remember when George W. Bush was President and the national guard seized all guns in the New Orleans area after a hurricane? Hardly a peep about that from the right. If Obama had done that there'd be blood in the streets.

        In fact it's only acknowledged by Trump's base -- it was deeply unpopular as symbolic, pointless posturing.

        Chicago is the epicenter of gun violence. One man knows its difficulty & shouldn't blame Trump. These are his credentials: 1983-1989 Community organizer in south Chicago 1997-2004 Illinois State Senator 2009-2017 President of the US

        It actually does get mentioned by a lot of people on the right fairly often as a bad thing. Not saying I agree with them or not but it does get attention. Maybe not mainstream though
