February 23, 2018 at 8:56 am EST By Taegan Goddard
James Hohmann: President Trumps promises to take meaningful action on guns after Florida look increasingly hollow. His moves to get right with the National Rifle Association on Thursday reflect how much the contours of the debate have shifted and the degree to which the Republican Party has radicalized in recent years.
So it should not be surprising that the presidents comments at the White House yesterday afternoon closely mimicked a speech that LaPierre delivered earlier in the day at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
The Hill quotes Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY): Not surprised the NRA reeled President Trump back in. Just amazed at how fast it happened.

I've kinda noticed today that the RW talking-points have finally become clear, and of one voice, one sentiment, and one leader.
Seems their response time this go-around is a lot slower than in most of their PR antiphons... took almost a week this time.
