Trump now 'most anti-gun president in history?
One New Now ^ | 3/2/18 | Chad Groenig

Posted on 03/02/2018 9:17:03 AM PST by JohnKinAK

A Second Amendment advocate contends that President Donald Trump is now to the left of former President Barack Obama when it comes to gun control. Following a bipartisan televised meeting on school safety in the wake of the deadly Florida high school shooting massacre, Trump says many ideas, "some good and some not so good" came out of the meeting. The president expressed support for expanded background checks, increased school security and more mental health resources – as well as raising the age for purchasing some firearms to 21. Mike Hammond, who serves as Legislative Council to Gun Owners of America, points out that America has hundreds of thousands of 18-20-year-olds in the military. "We have no problem financing fully automatic rifles and setting them loose in the streets of Baghdad and Kabul in order to defend our liberties,” Hammond asserted. “And then when they come back to the United States, they're second-class citizens and can't even own the types of guns that Chicago drug mobs have." Hammond is also appalled at Trump's suggestion of letting law enforcement confiscate a person's guns without a court order.

NRA says Trump opposes gun control after ‘great’ meeting

“Good (Great) meeting in the Oval Office tonight with the NRA!”, Trump tweeted of the unannounced meeting, without offering further details.

NRA Executive Director Chris Cox, meanwhile, echoed Trump’s sentiments, and added Vice President Mike Pence was also present.

“We all want safe schools, mental health reform and to keep guns away from dangerous people. POTUS & VPOTUS support the Second Amendment, support strong due process and don’t want gun control,” he wrote on his official Twitter account.

Yep.

When it comes to Trump, you need to ignore what he says, and pay attention to what he DOES. So far hes more conservative than Reagan.

Let me second that.

What Trump gives up will not amount to much. What he will keep will be the critical parts of the 2A.

Too soon to say. I care about what he does. If he does what he said in the meeting regarding the Feinstein bill, he’s in trouble.

To simplify it.
Trump is calling the LOONIE left’s bluff.
And consequently sucking the life out of their Looney stances.
Just like he did with DACA.

2A is 2A. What do you think are the non critical parts?

Hardly. Would Obama nominate pro 2nd amendment judges like Gorsuch?
