Trump Releases His Plan for 2nd Amendment… Leaves Millions Furious

One common criticism of billionaire businessman and President-elect Donald Trump is that he far too often speaks in vague generalities and rarely offers specifics about where he stands on the issues.

That is no longer the case, at least regarding his stance on gun rights and the Second Amendment, after Trump released his official policy position on his campaign website.

“The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period,” the position paper began.

Trump went on to explain that the right to keep and bear arms is a right that pre-exists both the government and the Constitution, noting that government didn’t create the right, nor can it take it away.

 

He also rightly denoted the Second Amendment as “America’s first freedom,” pointing out that it helps protect all of the other rights we hold dear.

 

In order to protect and defend that right, Trump proposed tougher enforcement of laws that are already on the books, rather than adding new gun control laws.

 

Citing a successful program in Richmond, Virginia, that sentenced gun criminals to mandatory minimum five-year sentences in federal prison, Trump noted that crime rates will fall dramatically when criminals are taken off the streets for lengthy periods of time.

Trump also proposed strengthening and expanding laws allowing law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves from criminals using their own guns, without fear of repercussion from the government.

on the second amendment...

Aristotle Politics (350 B.C.E.) Book Three Part VII

“...One man or a few may excel in virtue; but as the number increases it becomes more difficult for them to attain perfection in every kind of virtue, though they may in military virtue, for this is found in the masses. Hence in a constitutional government the fighting-men have the supreme power, and those who possess arms are the citizens...”

“The Constitution is not a living organism. It’s a LEGAL DOCUMENT, and it says what it says and doesn’t say what it doesn’t say.” USSC Justice Antonin Scalia RIP 13 February 2016.

I found this shortly after Scalia died and it is so true. Now if the Republicans can stick to their guns and nominate another justice that is very close to Justice Antonin Scalia, it will be a big step in the right direction for our country. GO TRUMP!

“Having freedom does make the left crazy with hatred.”

We, the common people who elected Donald J. Trump, having FREEDOM means the elite don’t have power and control over us and our lives....it is that simple.

I was happy Trump won, now I am am thrilled.

Though it’ll be interesting to see how states like california and ny try to torpedo this. I think the first few people trying reciprocity will be absolutely hammered by unfriendly jurisdictions.
