President Trump looked as if he might have a moment for a "Nixon Goes To China," that is, for an accomplishment you wouldn't expect. Of course, he backed off of it, just as he backed off the DACA commitment.
Trump's moment was to outlaw new sales of semi-automatic weapons and bumper stocks as well as authorize universal background checks for all gun sales and gifts. Of course, owners of the 2.3 million semiautomatic weapons would be grandfathered in, but the Federal government could offer to buy them back as was done in Australia. And if your son (or daughter) can't pass a background check, should they really have a gun?
Well, one can dream, can't one?
