He was also talking about passing STEM (Trump already signed it) and clean energy earlier.

He needs to watch his focus. The right already thinks he's being coached.

I think he is an incredibly smart young man....I have been impressed with his interviews and the things he says. Then I see this tweet and then I saw another post where he was actually forwarding and promoting someone else's ideas for what gun control should be. I went to see and read the ideas and while some were good, they were not very well thought out and in some cases so extreme, that even people I know who aren't even gun owners, might not even agree.

I don't know if he is being coached, but rather my guess is he is passionate and not getting much sleep and pumped up on adrenaline and all the attention that is coming his way. I think he is doing important things and he needs to keep at it, but he needs to take a step back and maybe tweet a little less and more carefully.....think about the message and sleep on it first.
