I'm not saying that's the case, just that it is a possibility. He's a NY City person.
Even Hillary said she was a defender of the 2nd amendment. Her version of that is "overturn Heller so the RKBA is limited to government-controlled groups."
Trump says he's strong on 2nd amendment, and for all we know it means the right to possess government approved weapons (I'm thinking caliber/etc. limits) in the home, and CCW in a restricted sense as it is in NY. Maybe, to Trump, that is "strong on the 2nd amendment." I think he'd sign an AWB in a heartbeat.
“Trump says he’s strong on 2nd amendment...”
I don’t think he is, really. I don’t think he has any strong ideology one way or another with a firm foundation. If his basic ideology is to “Make America Great Again”, that’s not a terrible thing, but he needs to understand what it was that made America great in the first place.
I think he’ll get it together. Maybe his son can school him.
I was offended about his statement to Pat Toomey about being afraid of the NRA. That showed me that Trump doesn’t “get it”. It sounded like he believes everyone is doing a deal at all times, and doesn’t consider the fact that people have positions on the 2A because it’s the right thing to do. Toomey, et al., would have the same position if the NRA didn’t exist. I don’t believe he knows that.
NRA isn’t a lobbying group primarily. It exists for higher reasons. He doesn’t understand that. I think he will.
“I think he’d sign an AWB in a heartbeat.”
I didn’t used to think that, but now I’m not so sure.
