Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- First 100 days?
The NRA endorsed Donald J Trump’s (DJT) presidential campaign early-on, and contributed generously ever since.
I don’t presume to speak for anyone except myself, but here is what I’d like to see from the DJT Administration, right away:
1) National CCW Reciprocity. Like driver’s licenses, state-issued CCW permits need to be honored nation-wide. Each state must extend “full faith and credit” to every other state. CCW holders represent the least imaginable threat, to police and anyone else. The current motley miscellany is incomprehensible. This is a no-brainer!
2) Removal of the “sport clause” for imports. Importing only guns that supposedly have a “sporting” purpose drives up costs and prices, and limits options. “Personal protection” is a legitimate reason for wanting to own a gun, any gun, and we need to stop thinking we can only say that in whispers!
3) Appointment of a pro-gun ATF director. It is time we have someone other than a raving, anti-gun fanatic as head of ATF! ATF is here to serve, not just harass, American gun owners and the American gun industry!
4) Reinstatement of the “Gun-Owners’ Protection Act” Honest American gun-owners should not be pointlessly harassed every time they travel with guns! When guns and magazines are legally possessed by a citizen of any state, he should be able to freely travel with them throughout the country, without having to guess which local anti-gun agendas are being enforced, and which aren’t.
5) Removal of suppressors/silencers from NFA. There is no earthly reason for suppressers/silencers to be NFA items. Who think they should continue to be, watch way too many gangster movies! Quiet guns make good neighbors!
The foregoing is, of course, not complete, but it is a good start.
We shouldn’t have to wait four years to see this. Let’s go, Don! Let’s go all you professing Republicans in Congress!

Oh, well.
Four years later and all we’ve gotten from Trump is more arms control.
I haven’t seen this proposal, yet, and it might not be welcome to one person: start a draft movement to petition president elect Trump to appoint Wayne LaPierre as NATFE Director.
How about removal of AOW/SBS/SBR’s along with suppressors. There is no reason why they should have a “restricted” and “regulated” status when they are no more dangerous than any other firearm you can currently buy.
I know the country probably is ready for full autos to be purchased as easily as they before the NFA but if new manufactured select fire firearms were able to be purchased through the ATF again and the stamp was a around $75-$100, I think most would find that a reasonable deal for now.
As an inmate of Kommieforniastan, I’d like the fools here reminded that the Bill of Rights is part of the Law of the Land and the Kommieforniastan Constitution recognized it as The Law Of The Land!! That all of the anti-2A laws ARE NOT A STATES RIGHT ISSUE. I want an AG to sue the state for the restoration of our RTKBA. None of this #### about 10 round magazines and bullet buttons or non-removable mags (very un-safe btw).
In addition to all of the above, one exec order to undo all of the Kenyan’s exec orders.
I VOTED AND “”PROUD””!! TO SAY I VOTED FOR,***PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD J TRUMP***!!! I MYSELF WOULD LIKE TO SEE 1.A JUDGE FOR THE EMPTY SEAT OF THE “”SUPREME COURT””PRO, PRO, 2A 2.BEING ABLE TO PURCHASE “””SILENCER’S/SUPPRESSOR’S”””!!! W/O HAVEING TO JUMP THRU HOOPS, AND YOUR 1st BORN. 3.U HAVE A C.C.W./C.P.L. OR WHATEVER U CALL THEM IN YOUR STATE TO B ABLE TO TRAVEL FROM STATE TO STATE W/O HAVEING TO FEAR!!! WHAT IS THE LAW IN THIS STATE I’M IN. I NO THERE’S ALOT MORE, BUT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD THIS IS A START. I ALSO NO ***”””MR. PRESIDENT… Read more »
Great points here! But regarding your first point, what about those of us who live in Constitutional Carry states that don’t even require a permit? I see that as the ultimate example of a state’s upholding of 2A, so we certainly shouldn’t be left out of that equation. Thanks!
Robert, read the text of the bills as there has been provisions made for Constitutional Carry states, as Constitutional Carry is the ultimate goal for the country.
