https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/08/19/trumps-inevitable-cave-gun-safety-has-arrived/ Jennifer Rubin (who delights me when, occasionally, she turns up among MSNBC's "talking heads") has a good op-ed in the Post.
Read the whole thing -- I'm sure you'll agree with her conclusion:
"[Repubs'] obsequiousness to the NRA will be another reason for ... voters to abandon the GOP, in addition to the president’s racism, bullying, climate-change denial, attacks on health care and abject cruelty toward migrant children. [The "fatal six," counting guns/NRA -- as I think about his many failings.]
"Then the rest of the country can pass rational gun laws. With Trump and the GOP out of power, real progress is possible."
