Why could it have got him in legal trouble?

No idea tbh. You can only hope he’d point it at his own face.

I don't think saying 'i want to buy one' is a criminal offence, is it?

Wonder what kind of security presence there is when taking Trump into a gun shop?

@Davos - you wouldn’t have thought so in a gun shop

Because he's pending trial for felony charges so isn't allowed to buy a gun, or something like that.

Yeah it will be a bail conditions thing but unless he actually bought it it’s a complete non-story.
