So how exactly does this BIG SIGNATURE help you if you are in a State that passed anti-Second Amendment legislation?
It was boob bait for the bubbas. It did ZERO in terms of domestic gun ownership, and even less in terms of international gun rights. This was for the cameras.
You can organize to get an initiative passed to overthrow the legislation. In our state, the stupid voters passed a real obnoxious bill. For instance, if your weapon is stolen, you will be prosecuted for any crime that it was used in it.
No, to not vote for Obama, all one had to do was not vote for Obama.
Mittens would have been worse than Obama. He actually would have passed gun control, signed on to other Obama stuff, given us liberal judges...all with the help of a R Congress. I am so happy that my support of a 2nd party candidate stopped the Uniparty from doing those things.
That sounds pathetic.
The truth is that state after state is passing legislation that makes people instant felons, and no one cares. Not Trump. Not Congress. Not the Courts.
You dont need a bump stock to shoot a firearm bump stock style.
Of course not. The problem is that the BATF went to ridiculous convoluted lengths to reach the conclusion that a product that was previously legal is now illegal and needs to be “confiscated”.
They could easily take the same path on any other gun related subject.. Dismissing bumpstocks as no big deal is admitting that the .gov can take any action they want to declare any product - especially guns - as now illegal. It’s the method not the subject that is objectionable.
BEST president ever!
The bumpstock is not a hill to die on as far as gun rights. If you want class 3, apply for the stamp and get class 3. To me a bumpstock is a way to shoot inaccurately, waste ammo, and burn out your barrel throat.
What I would like to see looked at is removing suppressors from class 3, and allowing MG’s to be manufactured again. National reciprocity would be HUGE also. I would love to be able to carry when I have to go to CA (family) instead of feeling like a victim in waiting.
A nice move, but still a long way to go domestically.
Thanks to liberal judges we have a world where individual owners of buildings can decide to override the 2nd Amendment. That’s a gross violation of authority. Privates don’t get to overrule orders from generals.
“...his aversion to international pacts and world governance.”
Pray that he follows with an EO that orders the termination of all previous EO’s which ordered federal agencies to implement domestic policies based on Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development. These started with EO 12852 issued by clinton in 1993 after the U.S. Senate refused to ratify the UN Convention on Biological Development (Agenda 21). Until this is accomplished, virtually every federal agency continues to this day to implement policy per Agenda 21.
In addition, when we get the HOR back they can repeal the Agenda 21 legislation that Nancy Pelosi introduced on the House Floor here:

“A treaty that isnt ratified means nothing”.
In 1992 the after their Earth Summit in Rio the U.N. sent up to the U.S. Senate the “Agenda 21” Treaty: “The Convention on Biological Diversity”.
Our Senate was at the point of Cloture when Dr. Michael Coffman exposed to the Senate Majority Leader the Implementing Protocols which the U.N said had not been written. Also he exposed that it ordered implementation of “The Wildlands Project” - 50% of the American off limits to humans. These maps were shown on the Floor of the Senate causing the vote to be tabled thus this Treaty has NEVER been ratified.
Promptly after this minor setback Clinton issued EO 12852 which ordered a hand picked committee of Comrads to find ways to implement the Agenda 21 policies in the un-ratified treaty into U.S. domestic policy. EO 12852 was followed by several more by Clinton and Obama. In effect, these unlawful EO’s ratified a UN Treaty which our Senate has refused to even vote on.
These EO’s are still in effect.
So, if you think a treaty that is never ratified means nothing. Think again.
It doesn’t, the EO’s do.
Actually, that was my point. Rather than just 'pulling it back', he should have demanded an up/down vote from the Senate so it would be well and truly dead. You need 2/3 for treaties if I recall correctly. One would hope that even out feckless senate would do the right thing on this. As is, some future Rat president could simply resign it and resubmit. If it had been formally rejected by the senate, that would not be on the table. It also has the added side benefit of putting the gun grabbers on record.
There are several other outstanding treaties that have never been given a vote, (like LOST) and they should be so as to kill them permanently. As long as they are sitting on the shelf, they are ripe for implementation by a future bunch of communist legislooters.
