Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- During a May 7 2016 speech in Lynden, Washington, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump looked at the audience and said, “Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns.”
Trump stressed that Clinton’s plan is not simply to pass more gun control but to “abolish the Second Amendment” altogether.
According to CNN, Trump said, “Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment.” Pressing the point further, he declared, “Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns away and she wants to abolish the Second Amendment.”
He said Clinton’s anti-gun positions are so extreme that she will even seek new controls on purchasing ammunition.
Trump pledged that he will approach the Second Amendment in a completely opposite fashion, saying, “We’re going to cherish the Second Amendment, we’re going to take care of the Second Amendment.”
Breitbart News previously reported that Clinton has pledged to use executive action to exceed what President Obama has done on gun control. The specific controls proposed by her to date include extending the instant background checks indefinitely by changing the amount of time the FBI has on extended checks, placing more regulations on sales at gun shows and guns sold online, allowing crime victims to sue gun manufacturers and gun sellers, and expanding the definition of domestic violence to include dating relationships–then using that expanded definition to ban individuals from owning guns. She has also said the Australian gun ban was “worth looking at” for gun policy in the U.S.
Trump is a concealed carry permit holder and a Lifetime member of the NRA who believes an armed citizenry is a deterrent to high profile shooters and terrorists. During a January 10 appearance on Meet The Press Trump said armed citizens remind bad guys that “bullets go both ways.”

Stop the Beeotch … vote for the Republican nominee!
Trump won’t be a politician until after he takes the Oath of Office……
He,like Ronald Reagan, sees problems as opportunities to show leadership, know-how, and patriotism. Unlike “politicians” who view problems as “money in the bank”!
Ummmm…You DO remember that Trump previously supported the “assault weapon ban” right? In my considerable experience with politicians, I have found it is much more accurate to look at what they have done historically, rather than listen to what they say on the campaign trail. Trump is well known fro being a consummate salesman. He is obviously selling himself on the campaign trail now. I’m not saying he’s lying, I just don’t know. But I have to wonder, why do you believe him?
As usual, John C. provides us with the ‘troll crap of the day’…………
You had a very bad childhood, huh John? Got beat up up by the boys and ignored by the girls, so you turned to abusing yourself and writing graffiti on the bathroom walls…………..
Now you’ve found this website to gain gratification…………..Call Doctor Phil, John……..
Trump’s statement of the day, stay tuned he will change it tomorrow.
Trump cares only about Trump. Vote for anyone but Trump.
What is that musket he is holding? At first I thought it was a US Springfield model 1816 but it appears to have only two bands. Anybody know what he is holding? It looks to be in pristine condition.
Bill Clinton says…”I chose other women over Hillary, you should too.”
Hey there hippybiker, I absolutely agree with you.
I never could have said it better myself.
I had a near fatal encounter with a mere picture of hiLIARy. I woke up on the floor with the German Shepard licking my face and whining. Her pictures should come with advanced warning.
Right on Tex!
TRUMP 2016 !
