If more people were armed, Donald J. Trump says at rallies, mass shootings like those in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif., would be less deadly.
If you have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, he wants to make it valid in all 50 states, as simple as a drivers license.
And Mr. Trump himself has a permit to carry a concealed handgun, which he is not shy about mentioning. Somebody attacks me, oh, theyre gonna be shocked, he warned last year.
Mr. Trump, who promises to totally protect the Second Amendment, is scheduled to speak on Friday at the annual convention of the National Rifle Association, on the cusp of a general election in which gun issues are expected to be more prominent than in recent presidential races. His address should signal how far he is likely to go in pressing gun rights to energize the Republican base in the fall campaign.
Whereas President Obama soft-pedaled gun control in both his national runs, Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, is signaling a greater appetite to clash with Mr. Trump on the issue.
In a Twitter message last week, Mrs. Clinton said that Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, would force schools to allow guns in classrooms on his first day in office.(continued)

2A support is one reason why I voted for Trump in the primary.
Good to see you.
One of our old-time freepers pointed out elsewhere that Trump is the only person in public life to use the term “assault rifle” correctly.
Crooked Hlllary is a fool run on gun control. Even Obama had enough sense not to push it openly until his second term. It’s a loser for them.
Hot Damn! I'd feel much better about my kid being in school all day if I thought SOMEBODY responsible were armed!
“Hot Damn! I’d feel much better about my kid being in school all day if I thought SOMEBODY responsible were armed!”
Don’t you know that your position is that of a knuckle dragging Neanderthal? C’mon! Get with the program. You’re supposed to be proud of sending your kid to a “gun free zone” which any deranged and heavily armed libtard can use as an extension of his “safe zone” to walk in and start shooting until proper authorities can arrive and wait until it’s over.
Can ANY gun owning Democrat vote for Clinton? Will they stay home, leave the party, or cede their 2nd amendment rights and embrace Clinton? Is voting Democrat more important than their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms?
Perfect. Remind any stragglers not aboard the Trump Train yet of something vitally at stake this election.
Does this club make my butt look fat? No, really. Tell me....
Any Democrat serious about the 2A probably jumped parties long ago. The only Dem pol I know of that supposedly defends their constituents’ 2A rights is Joe Manchin; apparently the NRA also gives him an ‘A’ rating.
Bernie also supposedly sticks up for 2A rights, but technically he’s an Independent. Though NRA rating is ‘D-’.
“If you have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, he wants to make it valid in all 50 states, as simple as a drivers license. “
Honestly, I have never understood why the Second Amendment
stops at individual State lines. Do I need a permit to pray, or speak in another state than my home state? Do I lose my 4th amendment rights in another state? NO
So again, why has it devolved over the years that the Second
Amendment “rules enforcement” changes from state to state? Always seemed unconstitutional to me.
I was just thinking: If Trump wins the election, isn’t B. Hussein required to be there at his inauguration and listen to his inauguration speech? Bwa ha ha ha. Oh man I would love to see that, him sitting there while Trump eviscerates the past 8 years
Yes, gun control is an issue the Democrats have done quite well on!
How can anyone be a Democrat and be a gun owner?
There is nothing more American than the Second Amendment. Running against the 2A is like running against America. Trump should have no problem framing this debate.
Crooked Hlllary is a fool run on gun control. Even Obama had enough sense not to push it openly until his second term. Its a loser for them.
But I wish Trump would mention Venezuela in connection with gun control. Socialists are free to starve their unarmed populations to death.
Or cause the population of Venezuela to rebel as they are doing now.
Rebellions go better with guns.
This will NOT go well for Hillary.
