Anything short of prosecution of Planned Parenthood and shutting them down reinforces his long-held beliefs on abortion. Keep sipping the Kool-Aid on the propaganda his campaign is pushing.

Yea, its clear where Trump stands on gun control. In reference to so-called assault weapons, he was quoted: “who needs them except criminals and police?” At the time, he called for a longer waiting period for hand guns, rifles and shotguns.

In 2000, Trump criticized Republicans for “walk[ing] the NRA line and refus[ing] even limited restrictions” on guns. In the same year, he also said he supported banning assault weapons and expanding background checks. “I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun,” he said at the time. “With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record.”

Trumps also believes if government can tag American citizens on the “no-fly” list, they should lose their second amendment rights:

Trump only now panders to the pro-gun voter by calling for ending gun-free zones. The fact remains most of Trump’s properties remain “gun-free” zones.

You left out other quotes from that same 2000 book by Trump: “Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed” and “I generally oppose gun control.” Trump has also said more recently that his two oldest sons’ involvement in the NRA has moved him more to the right in this issue.
