Let's not get all chubbed up on his 2A stuff. He's a democrat from a long-time anti-gun area and known for saying whatever he needs to to make a sale.
I assume he's going to slip some sort of gun control through a compliant congress just like a couple of other R presidents.
I actually believe he will follow through on his pro 2A agenda.
Why believe that?
Trump has not lived his life with the "aim" of being a politician, obtaining high honor of the presidency. He's lived his life as a businessman, in New York City, a city full of liberals and democrats with whom he's had to do business, and play their game in order to do his business, get contracts, and ...so forth. He didn't feel a need, most likely, to come up with some coherent "political agenda" in order to sell voters (libs or conservatives) on his value as a political leader.
So he comes up pro 2A .... and therefor he must be "buying our votes," since of course he must realize that many of us out here in "fly-over country" have guns and are supporters of the 2A.
I think it's deeper than that.
Both his sons are hunters, "gun people," and are pro 2A. And family are great persuaders. And I believe they HAVE persuaded him.
Plus, I think that behind Trump's coarse personality, rough edges, bluster, and womanizing ways, he is a smart person and he's learned the facts; GUN CONTROL DOES NOT WORK.
Now, can he make Mexico pay for the "wall??"
That's another story indeed.....................
