Also, it's an interesting prospect to view Trump turning on the NRA as analogous to Hitler's purge of the brown shirts.

**while I'm no fan of Trump, I mean for this analogy to be construed in the most narrow sense. Hitler's rise to power on the backs of the SA and then their subsequent purging is probably the most famous instance of this maneuver-- I'M NOT CALLING TRUMP HITLER! GOODWIN CAN SUCK MY COCK.
