Trump Tells French Magazine, “I Always Have A Gun On Me”
hotair.com ^ | February 11

Posted on 02/11/2016 7:07:41 AM PST by Helicondelta

This is a story which has cropped up in the past, but it's making the rounds again this month. Donald Trump gave an interview to the French magazine Valleurs Actuelles this month where he weighed in on how their nation has seen better days.

Both the country and its capital were criticized for sagging a bit in the modern era. Saying, "France isn't what it was" during his comments, Trump noted that the country might be in better shape if the citizens had the right to keep and bear arms.

For evidence, the man who the Weekly Standard just described as being in the driver's seat on the way to the nomination, cited the recent terror attacks and noted that he's always ready for action and that things might have gone differently if he'd been there.

I’m curious: Just how do you know that he and his sons are proficient with guns - and how would you know that the family has strong gun values (not sure what that last phrase even means)?

By contrast, my bullets have petals that open upon contact - just like a little flower... (Poetic, no?)

Now all you need to do is rhyme every time.

One might try googling it, to see at least who alleges it

I’ve done a little research. It’s pretty easy to do;

In the lingo, if there is a gun *on* you you’re the target.

$500 IS a big deal if you don’t have it (possibly costing more than the gun being licensed), 3-6 month wait is a long time if you need it, and seems the process requires multiple in-person interviews at deliberately inconvenient times & places.

It’s also completely unavailable to anyone who doesn’t actually reside within NYC proper.

Gee, thanks smartass! I ask a simple, straightforward question and you’re a comedian. I’m finding that to be pretty common among Trumpophiles, which, like their namesake, have major problems with basic civility.

As to my question, thanks for the links; you were obviously correct.

Now you make it about me personally. That is one thing Cruz supporters seem to do quite often. Instead of addressing content and issues they make it personal - stuff strawmen and unleash ad hominems.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

The Constitution trumps mere statutory law, Donald.

Here in West Virginia we have a cute little 19 year old girl in our House of Delegates with the wits and the guts to push for Constitutional Carry.

Have you got the wit and the guts to join forces with her? Donald?

Another good reason to vote for Trump.

A permit in NYC is less than $500. I don't consider that expensive and a 3-6 months time frame is no big deal either.

You're joking. Right? That's sarcasm. Right?

The typical $500 permit is technically for range use only. You can keep at home but can only use it for self defense in limited circumstances.

That said, you can carry anywhere in NYC if you have special permission and training from the NYPD.

I’d imagine the number of legal civilian carriers in NYC is under 100 people. Mostly jewelry store owners who carry lots of diamonds I heard

Ah yes, the “ad hominems”, which are so horribly offensive. Trumpophiles appreciate it when Trump uses “salty language” or employs ad hominem assaults, but are deeply offended and take it personally when others use it.

Again, I asked a simple, straightforward question. I was actually impressed that either Trump or his sons might have some shooting proficiency or real familiarity with weapons, which at least the sons obviously do - thanks to the links you sent. Since you made the statement, I thought you might have a reference at hand, but you had to answer “I’ve done a little research. It’s pretty easy to do.” In my lexicon, that’s being a smartass, no matter who it comes from and I suspect even Donald Trump would agree.

Hey you didn’t do basic research and now you want to go no the attack and take it out on me?? How it my fault?

Come on man. ;)

Since you obviously missed Mr. Trumps position on the 2nd Amendment I’ve thoughtfully provided a link for you. Perhaps you can find a grown up to explain the big words to you.

Do take your time.

Will he actually do squat about this, especially in the face of gummit pushback, oh snooty one?
