The family feud – Ivanka Trump vs Donald Trump Jr
Ivanka Trump is a supporter of tighter gun control. She hailed the move of Republican Senator Pat Toomey and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin on social media. She wrote:
“I call on the Congress to enact Red Flag laws/Extreme Risk Protection Orders in every state, increase resources dedicated to mental health support nationwide and close background check loopholes”.
She has also been talking to several lawmakers on this topic and the measures to be taken. Many are positive of Ivanka’s efforts in this direction. But her brother Donald Trump Jr does not seem to be in favor.
He feels that such extended background checks would have their problems. He feels that this step would negatively affect the popularity of the Republican Party.
Donald Trump Jr also feels that it would be an infringement civil liberties of gun owners and it would hit the party through them.
At a recent fundraiser, Donald Trump had praised Donald Trump Jr and said:
‘he knows more about guns than anyone I know.”
Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the National Rifle Association had also warned Donald Trump that implementation of background checks would nullify their support for his party.
What do post-mass shooting polls reveal?
Morning Consult and Politico conducted polls in the aftermath of the shootings. It revealed that 90% of self-identified Republicans out of 2016 voters support the mandatory background checks on all gun sales.
Those who favor Donald Trump as the President are also for it. Meetings are ongoing to determine which legislation would be the best for the nation.
