Chris Barron called out S.E. Cupp for her total flip-flop on guns and the NRA, reminding the CNN host how after the Parkland mass shooting she “attacked Trump for considering new gun control measures” and “sided with the NRA and said Trump wasn’t a conservative for considering gun control measures”:
After Parkland, I was on your show and you attacked Trump for considering new gun control measures. You sided with the NRA and said Trump wasn’t a conservative for considering gun control measures. https://t.co/jnRPT6tddH

She had tweeted earlier that the president was “willing to be bought”:
Trump’s caving to the NRA is predictable. For one, he’s willing to be bought. Two, he reads polls. Three, he doesn’t actually want a fight because he’s weak right now. Four, he’s not actually a leader of anything, he’s a follower. And five, he doesn’t care about issues. At all.

But now? Now she’s “needs to be a human being about the issue, not partisan” and the “must have conversations about solutions”:
Right. You got me! But I’ve decided I need to be a human being about this issue, not a partisan. I’m cool with my 2nd Amd defense, while also deciding that we must have conversations about solutions. Only small, insecure people are afraid of conversations. @nra https://t.co/4AMjhWLaPO

She means “solutions” that a little over a year ago she disagreed with:
Can we disagree with what the Parkland kids are proposing, without acting like kids ourselves? I guess not. https://t.co/rTtut72i2a

She means solutions that in 2016 she rightfully pointed out are ineffective:
Wait, @timkaine, if we pass universal background checks we won't have shooting tragedies? I'll let fact checkers point out how dumb this is.

She means solutions then-President Obama proposed but, again, won’t work:
Obama continues to lie on background checks. 3 pinocchios from Wapo: http://t.co/SZdNPWiMhI

Does this mean she’ll be for Joe Biden new proposed assault weapons ban?
During assault weapons ban Biden helped pass, there were 15 mass shootings, including Columbine, and no measurable reduction in gun crime.
— S.E. Cupp (@secupp) July 28, 2016
Because this is getting embarrassing for her:
It had no effect on gun crime, according to the FBI: And tell the victims of Columbine that an assault weapons ban saved their lives. And tell your Dem friends to try again for an assault weapons ban. They are politically paralyzed and petrified from ‘94. https://t.co/pthRffY9VL

Last year she even challenged Dems to talk about an assault weapons ban at the risk of losing their seats:
Friend. Let’s talk in 2019. They can all oppose the NRA. But are they willing to lose their seats, in favor of an assault weapons ban? That would be courage. https://t.co/eVGiwrnOyK

And as for the NRA, here she is using her child to promote the annual meeting:
