(ETA: I just noticed that this is TZP’s 1,000th post.)
Everyone is trying to guess which way Trump is going to jump on universal preemptively-prove-your-innocence (PPYI; “background checks”) and other gun control proposals. Alan Gottlieb assures us all will be well:
“I got call from White House staff. Gave me details on what the President is considering to support with regard to gun legislation. They considered my comments and ideas and we were on the same page. I like the red lines that they have drawn to protect Second Amendment rights.”
So the White House is “on the same page” as the guy who…
- Bragged that he helped write the previous — hated — Manchin-Toomey universal background check amendment
- Pushed for federalized universal PPYI with his Washington I-591 (and diverted resources from fighting I-594)
- Backed regulation of bump-fire stocks
- Drove away pro-rights writers from Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership with censorship
It would be nice if the White House would call someone other than anti-rights gun controllers like Gottlieb or the Vichy NRA. I’m available.

I’m sure we can count on Alan just like Chaim Rumkowski could be counted on to make the right decisions.
Gottlieb should note that Rumkowski’s appeasement tactics didn’t save him.
