You ask an excellent question, CofA.
CNN, care to answer why you are promoting someone who wants to ban guns?
We know Trump wasn’t ‘misquoted’, since it is in a book he wrote.
I do not believe Donald Trump in any way wants to “ban guns”.
I am not entirely happy with his position as stated by one poster, in regards to assault weapon laws, but I do not believe he has come out strongly in regards to those laws.
He is almost alone in himself actually having a license to carry in New York, I believe (a rare individual) and appears to mostly strongly supports Americans’ right to keep and bear arms.
He has on occassion been a bit squishy about assault weapons. I agree with you in that regard, and I strongly advise Trump NOT to go that route.
But he’s not a gun banner.
