National right to carry would be awesome. No longer could D.C., NY, Chicago, San Francisco and the rest of the gun banning cabal could abuse the Second Amendment rights of their people.

I am a huge supporter of States Rights and the 10th Amendment and I hate to see the Federal government tyrannize the states in any way, but the Second Amendment is a flat out right guaranteed by the Constitution and should apply to EVERY US citizen EVERYWHERE. It is not as if Chicago or NY can simply nullify your right to a speedy trial or against self-incrimination just because they are a state government.

If Trump can achieve a national right to carry, my head will explode with joy and disbelief. And millions of liberal heads will explode all over this nation.

Please make this happen Mr. President. Please!

Enforce The Laws On The Books

I say throw out most of the laws in most of the books, the RTKBA shall not be infringed.

But with that said.... Im very happy a pro 2A patriot was elected as President and Im sure we are going to make positive steps in the right direction on this issue.

I’ll believe it when I see it.
I believe he’ll be a good President, but as a New Yorker, he’s so steeped in the broth of no-guns that it’s hard to trust such statements of belief.

If he goes back on any of those promises — not comes up short but flat goes back on them — he will be trashed. I can’t seem him being so unequivocally pro Second Amendment just to win an election and then suddenly turns in to a gun banner.

Sorry, I can’t see it. He went out on a limb with all those promises. GW Bush never did, and he was pro Second Amendment.

I don’t blame you for not trusting anybody right now but I think you are going to be very pleasantly surprised.

Here in CA we have a limited privilege handed out by a liberal gov’t. Getting worse and our only relief would be to the SCOTUS.

I’m a New Yorker and I believe he’s being honest. I can usually tell the difference between a liar and a BS artist.

He means what he says, and says what he means, which is why we elected him.

One or both older sons got into shooting sports, have ARs, etc. Big 2A influence there, and he seems to listen to his family.

Believe what he says. Here are the facts. He is the first president that I know of who has a CCW license. Donald Jr. is an avid gun hunter and shooter and I think Eric is also. For me a national right to carry is paramount. You do not need 50 drivers licenses to drive a car in each of the United States and driving a car is not the inherent individual right to self defense as is concealed carry.

“...A driver’s license works in every state, so it’s common sense that a concealed carry permit should work in every state. If we can do that for driving – which is a privilege, not a right –then surely we can do that for concealed carry, which is a right, not a privilege. ...”

Excellent points, President-Elect Trump!

M.A.G A. !!

In California, I would settle for the right to buy ammo without a colonoscopy.

Good enough. I know its not popular here but I support national CC. I travel a lot and it is a pain to have to check constantly changing CC laws every time I drive through a state. My state has some reciprocity and FL/Ut gives additional but a National would also protect me in states like CA.

There is no contradiction in your stance. Article Ten says that those rights not enumerated by the Constitution are left to the states and the Second Amendment is specifically enumerated.

The right to keep and bear arms applies in all the USA and territories there of just as much as the other eight do.

I'd love to see the Trump administration sue New York, California, D.C., et. al, to overturn their unconstitutional gun laws.

A national concealed carry license is a good step in the right direction. I applaud President Trump for advocating it.

Naturally, the ultimate goal is to remove all government restrictions on the exercise of the 2nd Amendment. National constitutional carry is something I dearly would like to see one day.

“positive steps in the right direction”

Progress towards our goal is all I ask.

God bless President Trump.

President Trump has had a concealed carry permit from the state of New York for decades. He’s well known for carrying wherever he goes.
