"No Political Appetite To Ban..." by Nancy OhanianRebecca Ballhaus, Andrew Restuccia and Natalie Andrews reported for the Wall Street Journal yesterday that "Trump’s public push for gun-control measures is causing consternation among conservatives and some of his advisers, who have privately raised concerns about the political and policy fallout of the approach.

Kentucky is a very red state, more so in national politics than local politics. Trump beat Hillary there 1,202,971 (62.5%) to 628,854 (32.7%), one of Trump's best performances anywhere.
