The 2nd Amendment applies nationally. There is no "driver's license amendment" so far as I remember.
Now, you don't need a lot of insight to come to this conclusion, but Trump has the guts to actually say it.
Since we can’t use Anwar to pump oil, I say that criminals should go there to make crushed ice.
wasn’t this released weeks ago?
I think he should respect the 10th Amendment and let the gun grabbing states continue to grab guns. States have the right to enact strict gun control laws IMO.
What about state laws that prevent convicted felons from obtaining firearms? Would President Trump work to force states to repeal those?
...Trump proposed fixing our nationâs broken mental health system by increasing treatment opportunities for the non-violent mentally ill, but removing from the streets those people who pose a danger to themselves and others.
Treatment opportunities are worthless unless people take advantage of them. In order to remove them from the streets then the government would have to order them committed and I'm not sure how that would work. Or how President Trump would pay for it.
Excellent.
“Trump proposed a national right to carry, a national concealed carry reciprocity law that would compel states to recognize the concealed carry permits of any other state, exactly as drivers licenses from anywhere are accepted by all states today.”
This should be in effect anyway, given full faith and credit. An issue should also be addressed regarding driving over federal land with CC or other firearms in the car. The feds were busting people with CC who drove through the Natchez trace with their state CC, but were technically on federal land on that highway. This was about ten years ago. I don’t know how those cases resolved.
Right Wing News has it up today with a 23 November date. But sometimes these things are announced at one point but actually released at another.

Ummm.... I hope you are joking!
Should the 10th Amendment allow states to legislate against free speech or religious freedoms??
Just like they have to restrict free speech, free press, and free religion...right?
The gun-grabbing states lack the authority to grab guns. Second Amendment restricts them as well as Fedzilla.
Trump locked up my vote.
Yep, mine, too. But I’m still donating to Cruz. I want him to be in 2nd place and be the VP pick.
They should have the right to establish a state religion. They used to. Maryland was officially Catholic.
YES. The constitution was originally thought to only restrict the federal government from enacting an official religion. BUT NOT THE STATES. That is why Maryland was officially Catholic.
“Shall not be infringed” applies to all government.
Is this my chance to get a real M16 for less than $20K? I'm in.
In your opinion? Who are you 'pimping' for? The 10th Amendment does not give states the right to subvert any of the God given rights enumerated in the in the first nine amendments!
