Where Donald Trump stands on guns
CNN Money ^ | May 17, 2016 | Aaron Smith

Posted on 05/17/2016 2:30:14 PM PDT by Innovative

Donald Trump will deliver a speech to thousands of NRA members at an annual meeting in Kentucky this week. But he wasn't always so pro-gun.

Rather than impose gun control on law-abiding citizens, he wants to imprison gun-toting violent criminals for longer periods of time. Rather than expand background checks, he wants to fix the current system, which he says is "broken."

I care about what he thinks and would do NOW, if he becomes president. He is definitely a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, unlike Hillary.

What’s Hillary’s position on the 2nd Amendment? Will she speak at the NRA convention too?

CNN avoids these questions.

Yeah. That was pretty lame, actually. “This so-called General Washington was once a Crown officer, did you know that?” Yeah, we did...

I like Trump's position that concealed carry should be subject to national reciprocity, most preferably in the form of national constitutional carry. My fear would be that every state would be required to mandate the laws of New York or New Jersey.

Only the idiots at CNN could question Team Trump's commitment to gun ownership:

He’s not a gun-grabber, that’s really all that matters.

Where he might’ve stood 16 years ago on “assault weapons” is irrelevant. I expect a normal person’s views to evolve and change over time (hopefully towards better ones—as apparently Trump’s have).

If CNN wanted to present a fairer story, they would have noted that in that same 2000 book where he supported the assault weapons ban, he also chided the Democrats for trying to take people’s guns in general away, arguing that the only thing that would accomplish would be to disarm law abiding citizens and leave only criminals with guns.

Hillary has opined on several occasions that she likes Australia's gun confiscation plan.

What’s missing in most of these discussion on the Second Amendment is that Trump’s eldest son, Don Jr. is a livid gun enthusiast and outdoors man. Take a listen - -

Nationwide CCW reciprocity, ultimately leading to Constitutional Carry in all 57 states.

Donald Jr reloads over 100 calibers.

Trump’s sons are our insurance on Trump’s second amendment position.

CNN lies and ignores the North Hollywood shootout that occurred in 1997 while the AWB was in full effect.

.. Donald Jr reloads over 100 calibers ..

Excellent news.

He might have some advice for me on best powders for the .32/20, and where to find good .310 Martini projectiles.

To me, CNN still stands for the Clinton News Network

She sure has. I need to find that article.
