One of several reasons why I can't bring myself to support Trump; but as you said, it's good news.

I watched part of Minnesota rally, he claimed in it he will defend the 2nd amendment. I pointed out in chat he already banned bumpstocks and has been quoted as supporting red flag laws.   I'm neither a never Trumper nor a Trump cultist.  I'll support him when I believe he's right and won't when he isn't.

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
-- Theodore Roosevelt

“My country, right or wrong,” is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying, “My mother, drunk or sober.”
-- G.K. Chesterton, The Defendant
