Donald Trump supports an “assault weapons” ban...
That’s not “supporting the 2nd Amendment”.
It doesn’t matter what Trump says, the trumpansies (notice I didnt’ write trumpanzees) will blindly follow along. Like he said, he could stand in the street and shoot people and they’d still follow him off a cliff like lemmings.
This is the 1st time we have the chance to actually vote a Conservative into office since the 80’s and we have all of these CINOs belching over a wall. I’m sure he’s going to build a wall, well if he can make a Deal, but it’s going to have a great big DOOR in the middle of it. My only consolation in this is getting to point out what a bunch of hypocrites they are when they’re crying on here after he turns out to be another GHWB or worse. But I’m sure they’ll all slink away or, at worst, change their user id’s and pretend they always hated Trump.
Yet another area in which Trump and Barry agree. How nice.
I can’t honestly say that I am surprised at all by him position on this. Trump is not much of a supporter of federalism, gor good or ill, depending upon how you look at it.
It makes sense when you look at it from the perspective of a businesman who doesn’t want to have to deal with things being different from state to state.
For those of us more supportive of a a federalist philosophy, we see the ‘one size fits all’ mandates from DC as not taking local conditions or needs into account. I think we are much better off if the states can experiment. We’ll perhaps learn something useful from it that we otherwise would not.
I believe that this kind of issue is important. We should look at our candidates and try to see not only what they believe, but why they believe what they do. This is one way we can intelligently discern who really is a better candidate that more closely mirrors our own philosophy.
How a candidate sees an individual vis his relationship with the state is of similar importance.
Trump is convincing me that if elected he will not do any of the necessary things to restore the Republic. If he actually thinks the Federal Government can manage anything at all better than the states or citizens, then he does not understand how it is.
