This just proves that Trump is a lying, self-serving, hypocritical politician that will say anything it takes to get elected.
If you don’t believe me then get it directly from Trump because in his book “The America We Deserve†Trump wrote “The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse to even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.â€
When asked by Ammoland if Trump still supports this position, Trump artfully dodged the question and only claimed that he still “generally” opposes gun control. Trump does know that banning an entire class of weapon IS gun control, right?
Trump even recently claimed that assault weapons should be banned by stating, “who needs them except criminals and police?â€
Trump also wants a longer waiting period for hand guns, rifles, and shotguns, up to 72 hours. This is gun control.
I don’t care if you support Trump for other reasons or not, but to claim Trump is pro-2nd Amendment is a blatant distortion of the indisputable facts.
Trump is no different than Obama. Can you guarantee that a President Trump won’t use an EO to ban “assault” weapons?
