Donald Trump has made a lot of campaign promises — and one of those promises involves guns.
Trump certainly toes the Republican Party line in supporting the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms.
On his campaign website, the president-elect says he wants to defend the rights of "law-abiding gun owners" by eliminating gun and magazine bans, fixing the background check system instead of expanding it and instituting a national right to carry.
The 2016 Republican Party platform calls for "firearm reciprocity legislation to recognize the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms to protect themselves and their families in all 50 states."
Trump's support of a national right to carry has some gun control advocates concerned. Currently, each state sets its own rules on whether a concealed-carry permit from another state is valid within its borders.

What, apart from an outright repeal of the 2nd Amendment, DOESN'T have "gun control advocates" concerned?
You know what concerns me? The animals rioting in the streets because government power *might* be slightly reduced in the next 4 years.
States never have the “Right” to abridge or censor any of our Natural Rights from God which are unalienable. That includes freedom of speech and thought and association which are all abridged and censored now. This is unconstitutional and our Natural Rights from God have to be restored now if we are to have a Constitutional Republic again.
Obscenity is never a natural right-—nor any vice. Justice Systems only promote “public virtue” (as in Christian Ethics only since Christianity is the most rational religion in the history of man. Just Law is based on Right Reason according to Natural Law (which is a Christian concept of Free Will and Individualism which comes from Natural Law/God’s Laws.
All “Law” which is antithetical to the Constitution (our Supreme Law of the Land) is “null and void” (Justice Marshall/Nuremberg Trials/MLK, Jr.).
Good for President-Elect Trump and true freedom.
He had me at “national right to carry”.
We could really use some help out here in CA.
Hey Mr Prez! How about you send the feds after ammo
thief CA Lt Gov Gavin Newsom and his law which is
an assault on 2A? Yah, we’ll cool our heels until
Feb ‘17.
Will a license still be required to pack heat?

GOOD!
11 states plus Puerto Rico allow constitutional carry.
I, for one, being all for it, but being raised around
lethal weapons, have a healthy respect the damage they can
inflict. Someone not familiar would benefit with a firearms training course. But I believe a license to carry should
not be required. A criminal, intent on harming someone who
he doesn’t know is packing or not...deserves what the outcome
may be. A person, upon first greeting, should always assume
that person is armed. (the cops do).
I hoping Trump sides with these 11 states. I apologize for the format..

Gun control advocates can move to the nation of their choice, if they will feel safer there.
This is America, the land of the Free and Brave.
We have the Second Amendment, and it means something.
IF they want to keep screwing with it, just tell them you’ll listen when they start whittling away at the amendments that grant Blacks equal treatment.
Of course we don’t want that, but it’s a great way to drive home the fact that the 2nd Amendment is just as sacred as any other amendment, and they need to step back and stop this nonsense.
Unnecessary. The Constitution has a “Full Faith and Credit” clause. States that don’t rcognise a carry permit are in violation of the Constitution, and a reformed Supreme Court will strike their “laws” down.
Many thanks for that info!!!
We are soooooo fortunate blessed and lucky that he won.
M.A.G.A. !!
I’m hoping he takes a look at the NFA-68. At minimum the tax and paperwork for suppressors and like items. Removing the restrictions on Full auto firearms would be a dream.
--( and it is not why drivers licenses are accepted between states--that is a result of the drivers license compact to which all states subscribe)
Sounds like an infringement to me. The 2nd amendment is clear about this being a right to keep and *bear* arms.
A visibly armed society, contrary to hollywood depictions, is a polite society. Criminals are on notice and it effects their behavior. In contrast criminals prefer gun-free zones and conduct their reprehensible mass shootings in such locales -- schools, malls, theatres, etc.
Criminal organizations always restrict the carrying of weapons to their own minions. That's contrary to the 2nd Amendment whose prohibitions of infringement of RKBA are NOT restricted to the general government.
