Donald Trump revealed his official presidential campaign position on the Second Amendment on Friday, stressing the importance of preserving gun rights and calling for the laws on the books to be enforced. Before Friday, the Republican candidate had only taken an official position on immigration reform.
The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period, Trump writes on his official website.
According to Trump, the U.S. needs to get serious about prosecuting violent criminals. He cited President Barack Obamas abysmal record on prosecution violent crime.
Why does that matter to law-abiding gun owners? Because theyre the ones who anti-gun politicians and the media blame when criminals misuse guns, Trump writes. We need to bring back and expand programs like Project Exile and get gang members and drug dealers off the street. When we do, crime will go down and our cities and communities will be safer places to live.

“But ... but ... but he’s a Liberal.”
Not too bad for a liberal.
No liberal would put out a statement like that. Looking to a Trump/Cruz ticket.
The liberal media, now including airhead Meghan kelly, will attack and destroy Trump. Then the next GOP candidate, then the next one. Like they ALWAYS do.... until we get another Ford, or Dole, Or McCain, or Romney.....
and then we get queen hildabeast.... oh joy....
Take that Glenn Beck. This policy statement is exact opposite of what Glenn Beck and his on-air monitors from the hive told us Trump would be like.
Sounds good. He up for ending NFA and 922(i)?
Bernie is also excellent on the 2nd amendment.
Bernie? As in Sanders? The socialist? Is excellent on 2nd amendment?
Glad you’re letting us all know about Bernie the Socialist Sanders on FR.
No thanks.
That’s good to know, thanks.
I’m not surprised at all, I’ve heard him make comments in interviews that indicated he would be a 2nd amendment supporter. Don’t have any links, I haven’t looked it up, but I’m almost positive I heard him on phone on the Fox morning show saying this was his position.
My post about bernie was to point out the fact that one issue does not a conservative make.
Thanks for playing anyway.
