So my state is one of those participating in Super Tuesday today. A close family member is insisting that after the Parkland High School incident, President Trump came out in favor of Red Flag laws and now doesn't want to vote for him (or anyone else, for that matter). Thoughts?

Well he/she isnt wrong. If I'm remembering correctly, Trump was open to discussing red flag laws after the incident and eventually backtracked after hearing from his supporters. Also the stock ban dosnt really help defend Trump from people being spooked by his gun policies. Thatvsaid the choice is Trump, who is willing to listen to his voter base, or a Democrat who will openly and with full support of their party go after gun owner rights.
Can you link me to where he backtracked? (My decision is made--I'm voting for Trump, but trying to convince this family member to go vote and not sit out the election.)

Perfect, thanks!
