Donald Trump supports an “assault weapons” ban...
That’s not “supporting the 2nd Amendment”.

Not any more. That was in 2000.

Donald Trump OK with assault weapons

"Washington (CNN) Donald Trump said Tuesday he supports allowing Americans to legally buy and own assault weapons.

"You have to be because the bad guys are going to have them anyway," Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." "What happens when the bad guys have the assault weapons and you don't in a confrontation?"

Trump suggested overturning gun-free zones and said civilians with guns could have stopped the mass shooting at a community college last week in Oregon."

And from his web site:

Defend The Rights of Law-Abiding Gun Owners

"GUN AND MAGAZINE BANS. Gun and magazine bans are a total failure. That's been proven every time it's been tried. Opponents of gun rights try to come up with scary sounding phrases like "assault weapons," "military-style weapons" and "high capacity magazines" to confuse people. What they're really talking about are popular semi-automatic rifles and standard magazines that are owned by tens of millions of Americans. Law-abiding people should be allowed to own the firearm of their choice. The government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own."
