Trump Just Announced His Gun Plan, And It Includes 3 Huge National Changes

"We need real solutions to address real problems. Not grandstanding or political agendas,"

In his second policy position paper, presidential candidate Donald Trump called for an expansion of gun rights in America.

In the document published on his campaign website, Trump stated: “The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.”

Better Watch Out Video: After NFL Star’s Incredible Black Lives Matter Statement, Look What ESPN Did To Him He added: “It’s been said that the Second Amendment is America’s first freedom. That’s because the Right to Keep and Bear Arms protects all our other rights.”

In that light, the candidate called for at least three major changes:

National Right to Carry: “The right of self-defense doesn’t stop at the end of your driveway. That’s why I have a concealed carry permit and why tens of millions of Americans do too. That permit should be valid in all 50 states. 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.”

Look, I believe in what he's saying in the expansion of gun rights he espouses to be irrefutably the right thing but its the foaming at the mouth. the sense of livid outrage by gun opponents that pleases me most and gives me a tickle going right up my leg.

Divine retribution for all the years of gun opponents making the gun lobby miserable for nothing

He’s got my vote now for sure!

Question... Do you think he can really get that legislation through Congress?

Trump’s earlier position on my AR15s and AK47s bothered me . I need them to defend my family and property and kill those that threaten either but Trump has come through again! What a guy!! I’m buying more ammo!!

We need National Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws, too.

I would love to hear the weeping and moaning from the Hoplophobic Left.

Trump is very very likable. It's no wonder he is surging in the polls.

A thoroughly scared (R) congress, yes! They must be made to fear the people every day in every way, election after election.

Good catch. I was too wrapped up in the excitement of the story notice. There is some amelioration of emotion knowing it was said in February. I still would have posted it but
not have made it appear as if it was just announced. Thanks
for bringing it to mine and the FR audience’s attention.

The ‘tax’ on sound suppressors should be ended, asap. That is a health issue!

I would wager to say that someone got the month wrong or something.

Is it too much to ask the Trump people to play Alice Cooper’s ‘Elected’ song before a campaign stop or two? It’s a good ‘un would be representative of the prevailing mood.

Contrast that with one of the Dems (Bill Clinton I think) campaign stops and they played a very depressing Billy Joel tune entitled ‘Captain Jack’.
