I would have bet you as soon as Trump started to talk about changing to tougher background checks that he was only speaking out of one side of his mouth and he would cave as soon as the NRA told him no. That is right, the NRA tells our great president what he can and can not do when it comes to any gun control measures. Trump is gutless for sure.
"Chickens out" of what? A panicked acceptance of the loony left's non-solution for mass shootings?I would have bet you as soon as Trump started to talk about changing to tougher background checks that he was only speaking out of one side of his mouth and he would cave as soon as the NRA told him no.

I don't know about the NRA. I do know I don't support tougher regulations in any case.
I don't like the current background check requirements. For one thing, I believe that once a person has done their time and completed all obligations of punishment, all rights should be returned including the right to self-defense.
I am not an advocate of allowing access to all forms of weaponry. I am on record as arguing the 2nd Amendment does not apply to area effect weapons (like flamethrowers, NukeBioChem), munitions (grenades/rockets/demolitions), crew-served weapons, weapons platforms (tanks, battleships, fighter jets). I think they are reasonably limited to the basic arms and armaments a common infantryman would be kitted with for everyday service.
Every time I hear about "reasonable" controls I see how they don't seem to work, thus leading to MORE "reasonable" increases in controls. Right up until the ultimate control is licensed ownership of fluff like those German "starter pistols," all bark and no bite.

For another I don't believe it is anything but an actual record which is being maintained despite all claims otherwise, IMO a pseudo-registration.

Right, and I guess you are okay with the thousands that die from guns. And do not tell me that it is people, without military style weapons capable of firing hundreds of rounds a minute and being able accept hundred round magazines, there would not be the kinds of killing going on in America today. There is an old saying, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Trump and the other NRA puppets will pay the price in the next election. Polling shows that people are fed up with the nonsense.
NPR Poll: After Parkland, Number of Americans Who Want Gun Restrictions Grows : NPR
The poll also found widespread bipartisan support for a range of gun-control policies, including:

raising the legal age to purchase guns from 18 to 21 (82 percent),
banning bump stocks (81 percent),
banning high-capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds (73 percent) and
banning assault-style weapons (72 percent).
