Where he stands depends on what day it is
Donald has a concealed carry permit and actually carries.
Piss poor opus.
And who do you support????
You’re in luck Mate. In this months Guns magazine John Taffin writes about reloading the .32-20. For older revolvers he says a 100 grain Oregon Trail (bullet brand) semi wadcutter over 4 grains of Unique (800 FPS).
Hotter stuff for modern guns (Freedom Arms, Colt SAA) 115 grain Oregon Trail SWC over 10 grains of 2400.
While you make some valid points, there’s another perspective to consider.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the fact that his sons (particularly Don, Jr.) are avid shooters and 2nd Amendment boosters - including liking to hunt exotic animals) was necessary to the evolution of Trump into a pro-2nd Amendment candidate who will prevail over Hillary and go on to restore a lot of our basic rights. Perhaps without his sons’ love of guns and hunting, he’d never have evolved that much, and might not be elected. So, you could look at that particular animal (and, doubtless, others that the Trump boys have shot over their lives) as the cost of restoring freedom and denying a would-be tyrant power in the United States. IF that is the case, then I’d say that those animals died for a worthy cause.
Just remember, G-d knows not only what we are going to choose to do, but ALL of the after-effects of such choices. I don’t presume to know, or to speak for Him, but the above scenario is at least possible.
What utter nonsense.
Your presumption in interpreting God's Word to support your own prejudices is truly Beckian.

I hope you mean he’s an avid gun enthusiast.
Trump’s two sons are major gun guys. They have enlightened Dad.
The more proactive and successful game preserves in Africa keep exotic animal populations in a manageable state by culling excessive or problematic (elderly, rogue etc.) animals. To raise additional funds for game preservation they will often sell the culling privilege for a given animal to a big game hunter...and that opportunity doesn’t come cheap. Otherwise, the job simply goes to a hired professional hunter or one of the preserve’s own employees...either way, the animal goes.
And the parks/game preserves that don’t follow such proactive procedures are commonly the ones where there’s little done for the animals, and they get slaughtered en masse by poacher gangs with vehicles and machine guns.

I hope you mean hes an avid gun enthusiast.

Of course. I grabbed the wrong adjective on that one. Not livid - enraged or angry, but avid - enthusiastic, dedicated to support of the Second Amendment.
More than likely that Leopard was a local menace to some third world village. Guys like the Trump boys will pay big bucks to go and shoot rogue animals. It benefits everybody. Its common in Africa, India and SA to let sportsman pay a huge tag fee to go take down a nuisance or rogue animal. Or if an area has too many animals and they need to cull they sell tags. It brings in a lot of money.
Trumps Not Wrong: Clinton Wants to Abolish Second Amendment

PROTECTING OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Donald J. Trump on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
From official Trump site: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/second-amendment-rights
The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.
The Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law-abiding Americans. The Constitution doesnt create that right it ensures that the government cant take it away. Our Founding Fathers knew, and our Supreme Court has upheld, that the Second Amendments purpose is to guarantee our right to defend ourselves and our families. This is about self-defense, plain and simple.
Its been said that the Second Amendment is Americas first freedom. Thats because the Right to Keep and Bear Arms protects all our other rights. We are the only country in the world that has a Second Amendment. Protecting that freedom is imperative. Heres how we will do that:
Enforce The Laws On The Books
We need to get serious about prosecuting violent criminals. The Obama administrations record on that is abysmal. Violent crime in cities like Baltimore, Chicago and many others is out of control. Drug dealers and gang members are given a slap on the wrist and turned loose on the street. This needs to stop.
Several years ago there was a tremendous program in Richmond, Virginia called Project Exile. It said that if a violent felon uses a gun to commit a crime, you will be prosecuted in federal court and go to prison for five years no parole or early release. Obamas former Attorney General, Eric Holder, called that a cookie cutter program. Thats ridiculous. I call that program a success. Murders committed with guns in Richmond decreased by over 60% when Project Exile was in place in the first two years of the program alone, 350 armed felons were taken off the street.
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. 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

Purchase the publication “Pet Loads” by Ken Waters. I’ve recommended that particular book to almost all my customers but there are many other great sources for reloading data.
Biblical facts that would prove the 6th commandment only applies to humans do not exist. And your prejudice is correct, seriously?
I agree, your scenario is plausible and if that is truly the case, the gun owners of America will certainly benefit with D Trump in the WH. I do not put an animal’s life on par with that of a human, even though some humans have proved themselves unworthy of continued life. Your scenario has a similar ring to what Janet Sterno (Reno) said to the congressional committee that investigated the US government’s murders of the Branch Dividian Church members in Waco TX; We had to kill the children in order to save them. How was that a win for anybody but the murderers?
