Please don’t use the word ‘conservative’ in the same sentence with Trump. There is a reason that he appeals more to dems than conservatives.
Trump is NO conservative since he believes in banning ‘assault’ weapons and increasing gun purchase wait times.
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.’
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?’
Trump also wants a longer waiting period for hand guns, rifles, and shotguns, up to 72 hours. That is also gun control.
I don’t care if you support Trump for other reasons or not, but to claim Trump is conservative 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?
...but Trump GETS THINGS DONE!!! (...and stuff)
This is one of the most absurd things I've read on Free Republic.
I use the word conservative referring to Trump all the time, in that his policy objectives are the most conservative of anyone running. I will continue to do so unless that changes.
