I don't know how hard Trump is going to push on this. He has a lot on his plate, as we all know, and has been moving with great speed on many parts of his agenda.
Right now, he has to battle the out of control courts with regard to his completely constitutional travel ban being overturned, he has get the do-nothing GOP Congress to move on repealing Obamacare, and many other items on his agenda.
If you live in a state where your 2nd Ammendment rights are violated every single day (CA, CT, NY, MA, NJ, IL) -- I wonder how much hope we really have. Trump would need to take this on, but he could win.
Here is a related site that discusses the agenda (this one discusses NJ, but it would be the same for many other states):

So just what does the future hold for NJ Gun owners under President Trump?
During Donald Trumps Presidential election campaign, the first policy position paper he released was for how he would protect the Second Amendment. Including the following bullet points on his website:
◦Defend the rights of law-abiding gun owners:◦Military bases and recruiting centers to have a strong military, we need to allow them to defend themselves
◦National right to carry should be legal in all 50 states
◦Background checks we need to fix the system we have and make it work as intended. What we dont need to do is expand a broken system.
◦Gun and magazine bans the government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own
Two of these of course are relevant to New Jersey. Concealed Carry, repealing our ridiculous Assault Weapons ban and once and for all doing away with our ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds. He could do this either through Federal preemption laws, essentially banning NJ from passing gun control laws, or through the courts, also banning NJ from passing gun control laws. NJ2AS is currently supporting HR986, which would allow New Jerseyeans to carry in New Jersey with a concealed carry permit from any state in the union. We will be extremely active on the Federal side ensuring that it will be passed. NJ2AS is on full alert to make sure EVERY SINGLE ONE of New Jerseys unconstitutional gun laws are repealed, overturned, and never allowed to happen again.
All,
If you live in a state where your 2nd Amendment rights are not incredibly violated, you should be very grateful.
Here in NJ, allow me to elucidate on what one has to do to obtain both a Firearms Identification card (FID) and a Permit to Purchase a Handgun:
1. Fill out the FID and PPH forms, answer personal and intrusive questions
2. Pay a fee for both the FID and PPH
3. Fill out the Mental Health Permission form, answer personal questions, and allow law enforcement to search through your private medial history?
4. Put for two "character witnesses" (relatives not allowed) who will be interrogated by law enforcement
5. Go to your police station and drop off the forms, and sign
6. Wait several weeks or months, and the police will give you another electronic form that you have to take to an electronic fingerprint company (costs about $100)
7. Wait more time until you are contacted
8. If approved, pick up your forms at the police station, and be sworn in by an officer
9. Pay another instant background check for your firearms purchase
10. You are banned from purchasing a semi-auto "Assault Weapon" - no collapsible stock, no flash suppressor, no magazines greater than 15 rounds
Now, just imagine, if ONE of those restrictions was placed upon a woman who wanted to slaughter her unborn child through abortion. The liberals would go crazy. The courts would scream "UNDUE BURDEN!"
Help us Trump! You are our only hope.
That may well be so nationally but in a number of big Democrat controlled cities violent crime appears to be welling up pretty impressively. And if you count all the individual violent crimes being perpetrated in the now endemic rioting, then violent crime is getting a lot of reinforcement there, too.
Forgot Maryland, the freak state, in the list of anti gun state. You need a license to buy a gun and they do not recognize any CHP. Bastards. Unfortunately I have to go there from time to time for family.
I wish they would also push for CCW holders to be able to buy handguns in any state as well as have direct delivery of firearms bought from an FFL After all, they have been mugged, fingerprinted and passed a State and an FBI background check.
When I renewed my CCW in MS, the guy noticed I was retired military and told me that qualified me for Enhanced Carry which usually requires a special class.
It opens a lot of places like schools and churches as potential carry places.
Only places you cannot carry with the enhanced permit is federal buildings (federal law), courtrooms DURING proceedings, police/sheriff/hwy patrol station or detention facility, prison, jail, and places of nuisance (strip clubs and other places where perverts and drugs are likely to be).
