Donald J. Trump on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

[RamRoddoc]

That's been his stance from the beginning and his 2A political plank. That was a key reason I supported him in the primaries and not the status quo.

#27 March 2016 and he has maintained that stance.

Just another reason why the votes went to Trump. Support for 2A was crucial!

I hope he sticks to his word. He wrote a book in 2000 stating that he fully supported an assault weapons ban. I understand that LOTS of thing have changed since then, but I still have a hard time putting much faith in most politicians. We will soon see how everything plays out.

How does that song go??

"When a president goes through the White House door, and does what he says he'll do, We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble-up, and eatin' that Rainbow Stew."

That's awesome!

I'd like to hear the Donald's take on rules of engagement with our enemies in battle.

It's coming and it's gonna be goooood!
Hoorah!

I'm willing to bet that he will leave that to James Mattis. I have full confidence that General Mattis will do what is right.

I think we gun owners and 2nd Amend. advocates NEED to get in touch with Trump, or his people tasked with evaluating gun control / gun rights issues.
We need to tell Trump that we expect some roll back of the burdensome, stupid, unproductive, and probably unconstitutional restrictions on gun ownership, carry, and use.

According to Trump's own website, here's a list of over 60 people that Trump has named to be part of Second Amendment Coalition to recommend gun policy and positions for the Trump Administration.

Does anybody here on ODT have a connection to any of these people? Know them as friends or acquaintances? Corresponded with any of them in the last few years? Been longtime " friends" on social media, or followers of their "Tweets" or whatever?

I think we should get in touch with some of these people and ask them to push for some specific reforms, such as:

1.) National reciprocity / right to carry in other states while engaging in interstate travel for business or pleasure.
2.) Better define who is mentally unfit for firearms ownership, and make "danger to self or others" a necessary finding before a person loses his or her gun rights. Also create a process to get those gun rights back when the person's emotional crisis is over and has been sucessfully treated for years without any issues.
3.) Take SBR's and AOW's that are based on fore-grips on pistols OUT of the N.F.A. Regulate them just like handguns, and no more.
4.) Remove silencers from the NFA, or at least streamline the process for registering them and reduce the tax stamp to $5.
5.) Clarify various federal laws on "explosives" or "fireworks" to say that NOTHING in those regulations can apply to small arms ammunition or components of such ammunition, unless the Gov't can prove that the person possessing those things intends to use them for purposes other than to make small arms ammunition.
6.) Eliminate all "sporting purpose" tests for gun ownership, importation, etc. Instead, the test should be "Is the gun suitable for any legitimate purpose, including hunting, target shooting, collecting, personal defense, or homeland defense / unorganized militia use?"
7.) Eliminate all federal "gun free zones" except federal facilities that have secure, effective screening for weapons. At such places, allow lawfully-armed citizens to secure their weapons in lockers at the entrance. No federal building or facility that does not have armed guards and metal detectors to stop bad guys from bringing in guns shall have any rule or policy against good citizens bringing in guns for their personal protection and security.
