But you've got to see that the writing's on the wall, right? Right-leaning president who took NRA money to get elected has done more damage in 4 years to our 2A than Obama did in 8. Within a week all major grocery stores and pharmacies have asked us not to open-carry in their stores. I went into Kroger this week and open-carried. Not usual for me, but I got into it with the manager. He told me that open-carry scares people. I told him that making your store political and dividing our nation by infringing on our rights scares people.
First, Not a Trump fan. But I think this latest damage is more shooter driven than POTUS hate/actions driven.
Chucklehead shoots up a walmart
Walmart, which I recall actually referenced that incident in the press release, decided to ban OC in their stores.
Other stores saw this as a signal and joined the bandwagon, finally feeling like they could safely do the same. (safe as in no/limited backlash)
A couple stores went too far and just banned carry totally.
Not sure how at least this part of the situation is Trump's fault.
