Why President Trump "Thinks" He's Pro Gun
Why President Trump “Thinks” He’s Pro Gun

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Politics suck. There’s no short way around it.

In this day and age of deep divisiveness not seen since the caning of Senator Sumner in the Old Senate Chamber back on May 22nd, 1856 –an act of political violence that foreshadowed the approaching war between the states – it’s a safe bet that today’s radical Democrat party is attempting to push America in a perilous direction.

An increasingly militant Democrat Party is openly embracing socialism as the party leaders conduct a brutal culture war, at the forefront of which is their open desire to disarm the populace.

No good can, or will, come from this ongoing battle the Democrats seem intent on waging.

Way back in 2015 and 2016, then-candidate Donald Trump took the fight for our right to bear arms directly to the streets. No doubt in my mind that his campaign was the most openly pro-gun campaign I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. In a brilliant maneuver, Trump understood the radical left was going to continue to push their gun control agenda, and in a (successful) attempt to beat them in their own backyards, Trump vociferously embraced the NRA and gun rights and won the votes of hard-working, gun-owning, blue-collar, America. Voters who may have otherwise supported a Democrat. The gun owner handed Trump the White House and thankfully saved, for now anyway, the Supreme Court from falling into the hands of the progressive socialists.

Fast forward a couple of years, and what have we –gun owners – gotten for our loyalty?

Two Supreme Court justices who are primarily expected to be pro-freedom when it comes to our right to bear arms? Yes, and I would argue from a position of strength, we’ve also added many lower court judges who will help us in our fight for freedom in the nation’s federal appellate courts as Trump shifts the balance of power in those circuits. While it’s not sexy and doesn’t get a ton of media play, it’s driving the lunatic, fringe, leftists, crazy as it should. But what else?

So far we’ve lost our bump stocks if we even owned one in the first place, and now we’re idly waiting to see if Trump follows through on his commitment to a gun-hating foreigner, Piers Morgan to consider banning so-called “silencers,” otherwise known as suppressors. In two disturbing incidents, President Trump disparaged “silencers” saying he doesn’t like them when asked a question before boarding Marine One prior to heading overseas, and the Morgan incident during an interview in Great Britain when he alluded to being open to possibly ban the devices.

Unfortunately, for Trump as he heads into what is shaping up to be one of the most vicious and hateful presidential campaigns of all time, he has no room to spare. Trump needs every single one of us – gun owners – to cast a vote for him to win. A loss by Trump in 2020 will usher in a wave of unAmerican gun controls that will likely see outright attempts to confiscate our property while red states dig in their heels as the progressive left grows bolder with a win in the White House.

Trump, or his advisors, must certainly know this, right?

Not necessarily. Trump believes that his open embrace of the NRA and his appointment of what we believe to be pro-rights justices and judges is what makes him pro-gun. We know better. We know that being pro-gun doesn’t mean sacrificing bump stocks is OK. We know that being pro-gun doesn’t mean telling foreign, gun-hating, journalists that considering banning “silencers” is acceptable. It’s not, and neither of those two gun-grabber-supported initiatives is earning him any gun owner votes, or more importantly, Democrat socialist voters. Like former Governor, now U.S. Senator, Scott in Florida before him, he would be foolish to believe that capitulating to the enemies of our freedoms will somehow magically endear them to his side.

I’m inclined to believe that Trump truly considers himself the most pro-gun president in history simply because he says he is. I think that Trump feels banning accessories isn’t the same as banning guns. He is wrong on both counts. At this stage of the game, with the House in the hands of a clown posse being led by an aging progressive, gun-hating whacko, Trump needs to step up to the plate and begin proving to Americans why he can be trusted when it comes to our right to bear arms.

In an upcoming column, I’ll pass along some ideas that Trump can implement right away to start winning back those voters who are now skeptical of his “pro-gun” claims in the wake of his anti-rights move on bump stocks and his recent comments about banning suppressors. If he fails to listen, he’ll see the very voters he needs to win re-election stay home, and a stay-at-home voter is a victory for socialism. If I have to tell you what a socialist win for the White House means for our future, you’re already dead from the neck up.

I had no illusions that Trump was truly pro gun. Don Jr. might be. But Sr? Not so much. He was, however, better than the alternative. I felt ok that we might get a couple of decent justices from him and that’s looking positive. We won’t truly know, of course, until SCOTUS actually hears a gun case. But here again with the Justices, Trump was better than the alternative. I would certainly consider voting for a true pro 2A candidate in 2020. I’d likely jump off the Trump train in a heartbeat if there was a true pro 2A candidate.… Read more »

This is the same Donald Trump who, in his book The America We Deserve, wanted to make it harder for everyone to purchase a firearm, supported “assault weapon” bans, and criticized Republicans who “walk the NRA line.” Never mind the fact the duplicitous weasels who run the NRA support every current federal anti-gun law and (per NRA Exec VP Wayne LaPierre on CNN) “don’t want to restrict the BATF in any way.” In 2016, Trump joined with Hillary Clinton in wanting to forbid Americans from being “allowed” to purchase a firearm without any due process of law.

Chris Mallory

Sumner deserved everything he got. Preston Brooks is a hero to all honorable men.

USA

I e mailed Trump and had my name added to the list of call ups when he goes insurrection act. I want to serve my country and assist getting it back. Banning American way of life and criminalizing my countrymen will quickly change my mind so I hope that it stops immediately. Reverses even. Hell he could toss lots to all of that fake ass gun control before I change my mind and watch the country go down while eating popcorn.

USA

So if Trump reclassified Trumpstocks as machine guns in order to ban by false flag operation in Vegas then by all intensive purposes by that logic he banned a gun and by further logic of that thinking since no barrel, magazine, receiver, trigger etc a Trumpstock is incapable of firing a bullet so now objects that can’t fire bullets are guns and banned as guns when they aren’t. Trumpstock is useless without a gun and guns are not banned. And further according to Trump if you need to break the law to protect yourself then you have his permission to… Read more »

“Trump believes that his open embrace of the NRA … is what makes him pro-gun.”
Hm. GIves the upcoming NRA/Ack-Mac /Letitia James fight ticket an unexpected silver lining. If Trump has to distance himself from the NRA because of its insider corruption, hes going to have to find a better excuse for claiming he’s pro-gun.

USA

Radicals are shooting America up pretty good today. Hope they are using Trump approved guns because it would be terrible if they were using ones he doesn’t “like”. Good thing I have lots of popcorn on hand and that gun control is being obeyed by the libs. Keep yelling “war” at them it’s working good.

BillyM

Do not for one minute think that a few hundred comments on this blog ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime makes any difference in the gun debate. Many may read the articles, fewer read the comments and fewer still take the time to respond. But, if it makes you FEEL better….chat away, it’s free therapy.

USA

Yet here you are.

James

i know Trumps two Sons are avid pro gun and shoot a lot.
but don’t know how they stand on red flag laws? the bump stock ban? or trump saying he didn’t like suppressors? not liking something is one thing, to ban them is another question?
so we will see i guess?
BTW, HAPPY FATHERS DAY FELLOWS.

USA

Thanks, you too.
Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll still be around for the next one.

Chris Meissen

In March 1989 “pro-gun” President George Bush issued an Executive Order banning the importation of “military-style” semi-auto long guns, encouraged by Lee Atwater who told him to not worry about gun rights supporters because “who else have they got to vote for?” During the ’92 election, those taken for granted gun rights voters, having no one else to vote for, stayed home in droves rather than vote to reelect the man who’d stabbed them in the back and allowed Bill Clinton to become President. President Trump and his advisers really should take that lesson to heart.

USA

Me and some friends are staying home. I, personally had his back along with my country then the dagger came out of nowhere. We’ll see if he can swim.

Bruce Dzamba

Instead of complaining about the president most of you here should write intelligent and to the point letters to him about bump-stocks, red-flag laws, & suppressors……He is our only shot and if one doesn’t realize that than we are all mucked….

I’m not Kanye, just a standard American with no special attributes other than love of country which made me special in that regard. I’ll toss his vote in the trash on top of my rights and then we’ll be even.

Not a good idea!!!! TRUMP will come around on these issues but it won’t matter if a leftist socialist democrat gets elected aspresident.!!!!!

Flip flops like a trout he does but meanwhile I have a state around me that is out to kill red voters and my name is on their list so he signed my death warrant with that statement. They’ll be coming after me. I’ll be famous. The red guy in blue state with the news headlines reading I deserved it.

Maybe not fuck all the NAZI’s. Some seem okay. I link up with them here and meet out front and they aren’t offensive. Spooky but who isn’t now days. Some NAZI’s are patriots I suppose. Problem is determining a good NAZI from a bad one. They all look the same you know. Some hauled off about 50 assholes from here that I needed gone so sometimes having some NAZI’s around might be a good thing. It’s my experience you gotta sort through them like anyone else.

@USA, You have misquoted me. I wrote, “@USA, I do not recall hearing…” I did not write that Trump had never said.

Take em first and throw that Constitution in the trash because it impedes authoritarianism. Yup, I am angry Bill not a madman though. Trump wiped out my state Bill of Rights with a single statement and didn’t care. Any American should be pissed about it but I guess since they have their rights for the minute it is no big deal. 7, Bill. 7 Amendments in the trash and not even a kiss. Mad not a madman Bill.

I don’t know Wild Bill, but I do know that lots of people voted for Trump and have turned a blind eye to everything he says and does, where if Hillary had won the election and banned bump stocks, pushed Red Flag laws, said things like “take the guns first and follow due process later” and appointed a swamp creature like William “Ruby Ridge” Barr to attorney general, the same people that turn a blind eye to Trump would be crying from the mountain tops about Hillary.

I don’t like those fiberglass handled shovels and even though I don’t have to buy one I’m thinking it’s best to ban them from other people retroactively so they can be criminals for the ones they currently possess.

You are gonna hafta get yer information straight, it isnt the country of Japan that is worried about extradition to mainland China…it’s the city/state of Hong Kong…but I suppose the schools don’t mention or teach that historic info any more..Look it up, become better informed.

USA

Sorry, hard to tell them apart. Can’t load up a map here with very little reception. Hong Kong then but I guess that’s better than King Kong.

Charlie Foxtrot

Hong Kong and Japan are about 1,200 miles apart. The Japanese once invaded China and we dropped two big bombs on Japan. We have permanent military bases in Japan. Hong Kong used to be British until 1997, when China took it back after the lease to the British ran out. If it is difficult for you to tell Hong Kong and Japan apart, then maybe it is time for you to admit that you have a problem.

That would be you with the problem because I personally don’t give a damn. China, Hong Kong, Laos, who cares but thanks going critical mass on something that is so important to everybody. Now go foxtrot your little ass right out of here back to 8 Chan.

Slips of the tongue are not the issue. Bans stuff making criminals out of compliant citizens is China and we don’t like China. Bans stuff then in same breath says if gun laws that criminals don’t obey get in the way of carrying a gun to protect your life then do not comply.

Chaim Yankel

It’s NOT about whether or not we “need” bump stocks or suppressors. It has EVERYTHING to do with how he went about banning a firearm accessory via Executive caveat and using the ATF, which is a law enforcement agency, to literally change the definition/law of what a machine gun is. He set a very dangerous precedent for the next gun grabbing Democrat President to do the EXACT same thing only this time, it won’t involve “bump stocks” or “suppressors”, it will be any number of other things including semiautomatic firearms.

USA

Perhaps he could ban Antifa, radical Islam or feminism and get to the root of real problems.
Just a thought.

I don’t think Trump cares if he wins a second term. I can’t believe our gun rights were safer when Obama was in office.

Pro 2A groups here identify 6+ parts to our Bill of Rights that are tossed in trash due to Trump demanded red flag and they are the ones counting so this is not just my take on things. There’s lots of us and we’re not happy about this issue. Many are LE. So to say communism is coming if we don’t vote Trump the fact is it is passed and signed into law today. Communism not coming, communism here now. Sounds like many of you still have these rights and good for you I’m happy for ya.

@USA, I do not recall hearing any Trump speeches demanding “Red Flag” legislation. Can you point to some so that I can read up on this? So called “Red Flag” laws are Tenth Amendment subject matter.

Sorry but I’m in the bush using a tiny stamp sized phone to post in heavy rain and lightening. It is common info here and there might be somewhere like a million people pissed off over it. In my state mere presents of a firearm is grounds for red flag. A person can call a red flag in by phone free of charge and have someone legally swatted. No appearance ever required. Can even call in red flag on cops with same process. A concealed carry permit is evidence of firearm possession for red flag confiscation. We count 7 rights… Read more »

Just an informative statement in the event you don’t hear Antifa has these plans but I’m sure the ban will stop them thanks to Trump. Lol.
Might even consider banning the color black to help stop killing. Loooool.

FYI… You definitly do not need a bumpstock to closely replicate machine gun fire …All it takes is learning the particular & special ‘technique’ of holding the firearm & squeezing the trigger of a semi-auto rifle, its EZ once learned…it took me less than 60 rds or so to learn the technique…just remember, wasting ammo is on your “nickle” not the govt’s…practice your shooting skills and you won’f need to pray & spray ammo needlessly…

I saw those you tube videos too but I have no desire to “spray ammo” for any reason.
Thanks for the tip though but consider it a waste of your time.

It’s not bump stock ban that has folks pissed off – it is legal commerce decades later deemed illegal with criminal penalties attached!

If the grandfather clause was honored, many would care less about the ban.

It may seem like a minor thing, but I believe it reflects a (probably not intentional) kind of us (the Trump Administration) and them (We the People) sort of thinking when the President speaks of “YOUR” second amendment rather that “OUR” second amendment.

Yeah, that Red Flag trash is a direct attack on America. Barry is proud of Trump. I am not.

Not “silencers” suppressors. The left wins by controlling the language. For example. AR equals Assault Rifle when is Armalite Rifle.

@Country Boy, What Red Flag law has president Trump signed? Trump is part of the federal government. Red Flag laws are state laws.

USA

That Trump demanded states to adopt with disregard to the Constitution. Trump is thought police.
Red Flags are called confiscation by cops in my state. They aren’t fooled and neither am I.
Staying home, 2020.

Wild Bill

@USA, So then Trump did not sign any Red Flag laws? Nor do I recall any Trump speeches in which he demanded states adopt Red Flag laws. As to Trump “being thought police”, that is a different allegation, but you do not seem to be constrained in your thinking.

USA

Trump demanded states adopt red flags. Old news now. Not even a secret. He is a bull shiter and I don’t want any special treatment as you mention in the other post but thanks for the offer.

John

Hey Wild Bill, Trump did say take guns first, due process second. That is red flag law and by his own words he supports such draconian poobah!

Carrying out those words through signed legislation then becomes a violation of oath of office.

Remember, Rubio proposed a bill to do just that nation wide.

Vigorous verbal opposition to these draconian laws pits First Amendment Rights against Second – as the message now is shut up or you will be red flagged!

USA

Nobody else seems to under what you post that red flag is to silence voices/oppress the right and license to kill them. Red Flag is NAZI door to door genicide. They want us to believe Trump didn’t start Red Flag that he is innocent.

@USA, The S. Ct. chooses the cases that it will hear. The president does not choose the cases that the S. Ct. will hear. The president does not have authority to ” eliminate unconstitutional laws”. If you broke a law, even an unconstitutional statute, what assistance would you want from Donald Trump?

Big Jim

@ Wild Bill, Are you suggesting that changing the language in a law was not done by Mr. Trump through executive fiat? He wrote an unconstitional Law? No disrespect just asking.

Ironic that Eric Trump was shown shooting a pistol with a built-in suppressor during the campaign. I wrote and asked him to educate his old man.
The best thing the Donald could do would be to ram through the Hearing Protection Act.

Kevin

While we’re talking history, we need to remember our own position. In the great debate before the Brady Bill, our side, the NRA, continually brought up the point that our semi-auto rifles were not “assault weapons” because they only fired one round with each pull of the trigger. Sorry, but them’s the facts! Trump is wrong on the suppressor issue, but on bump stocks, he’s pretty much agreeing with the NRA’s position from 1994. If we lose Trump, we lose the Republic.

USA

Reagan hit was a false flag for gun control. Is why gov sedans we’re back and forth at shooters house for quite sometime prior to the shooting. That house is in Evergreen Colorado and you don’t know this because THEY LIE and it’s why gun control is a scam. Hagalian Dialectic to be more precise. You Tube has good videos on it and it is what politics are based upon. LIES.

Jay

Good article. Thx for writing the truth. Dont know how this 2020 election is going to go but need Trump to step up and shut up for once and listen. He needs for his sake to get this voter registration and fraud under control.

USA

He will not get the fraud under control because he is throwing the election intentionally to create civil war. He will get the votes but they will say Dem on them in the count then sharp end of the stick for America. In the meantime banning those toys everyone likes so much will create a disadvantage to the honest people so Christians can be rounded up easier. 2020 genocide coming soon to a street near you and me.

Hey man, I’m only throwing out reality of the situation in my posts per Trump because I know the rest are obviously not fooling anybody. I am almost warmed up so look out this site might go down.
Ps, the war started sometime ago.

John D.

I agree with you, but how about this one: We are where Germany was in 1919, and will soon progress to 1939 when Trump is done.

USA

And I heard Crack is free in DC.

Muslim over there that came up through Mexico and picked up a Mexican wife along the way receives a monthly check so does not have to work and is on 35 fenced acres with guns, 3 vehicles, new home and livestock and likes Trump administration policies though hates Christians.
Illusion breaking down yet?

President Donald J Trump … and his Son Eric both have been intentionally lied to and misled by the sorry nazis commie fascist elite rich wolf chris cox of the NRA ILA who owns class 3 wpns and accessories which is why we lost bump stocks and may lose suppressors and may have red flag laws at the federal level i.e. lindsay graham Chris Cox himself and now his other ILA people have been run out or over ruled in many states .

It is not called Criminal Court because criminals are not employed there friend.

Sandy

Man – someone has been feeding you a line of crap. Yes – look at the number of times Trump actions have been blocked for political division and NOT based on constitution or existing laws.

Wild Bill

@Sandy, He is just another madman.

USA

You must still have a Bill of Rights in your state unlike here so yeah I’m angry about losing mine. A real “madman” over it actually. Not alone either.

USA

Right, you said it. Court of criminals does not go by Constitution or existing laws. I agree. To bad the law doesn’t use it. Thanks for the endorsement.

Michael Zeleny

Trump could rescind all federal import bans of firearms lacking a “sporting purpose” with a stroke of his presidential pen. Don’t hold your breath for him to do anything of the sort.

USA

Unconstitutional bans have never before by any dictator led to more unconstitutional bans.
Right, got it.
Not holding breath.

Fnu Lnu

“… with the stroke of a pen”. What that means is the Executive Order (EO). An EO can be revoked by the stroke of the pen of the next president. The EO should never be considered a solution but instead, a short term remedy. It does not create law, only congress does that. I’m taking this in another direction. According to reports, the Virginia Beach Municipal murderer was terminated and presumably removed from the premises at some point on Thursday. Friday he returns, somehow still has access to a secured area where he committed the murders. Based on that information,… Read more »

Even if they are anti constitution and anti life lefty’s Americans should put their lives on the line to protect them?
You’re dreaming. I’ll step to the side and let em reap what they sow. Communism kills, let it be them and not me. When they begin supporting America I will step up to help them but not a second sooner.

Fnu Lnu

What? Isn’t that what America’s warriors do for you everyday?

The victims views of the constitution aren’t KNOWN. At least one of them contemplated bringing a firearm on Friday, but opted not to. Today, the surviving spouse wishes otherwise.

It could be argued that their employer (their government) has as much to do with their deaths as the murderer.

How about this? A duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government.

USA

I will stand with those who do the same. And I will enjoy watching the antigunners shoot the antigunners. It will make my day. Can tell antigunners due to the lack of a gun. Will be many of them. Dying will at some point get them armed up simply out of the will to survive as it should be. Welcome to war 2.0

USA

How bout this can’t protect ppl from themselves.

Wild Bill

@Mike Z, While I admire your enthusiasm, I must point out that presidents do not have the authority to rescind acts of Congress with a stroke of the pen. A president, as a co-equal branch of the federal government and equal to Congress and the judiciary, could declare the NFA, GCA, and the Hughes amendment unconstitutional. A president could also declare that the other branches lack authority to make him enforce them. A president could also order the Sec of the Treasury to decommission the BATFE.

USA

Truth.
So then perhaps you can explain why Trump says to pack heat regardless of the law because criminals do not obey it and Americans must protect their lives when he could simply do as you state? Why does he chose to create criminals out of law abiding Americans?
Is there hidden logic that I am missing or is he simply full of shit?

Wild Bill

@USA Doing so would be very controversial, and Trump wants a second term. Trump has not ” … create[d] criminals out of law abiding Americans?” It was an act of Congress signed by a previous POTUS.

USA

Right, dont protect the law abiding from unconstitutional laws. Demand gun confiscation at state level. 2nd term, got it. Hope he can swim.

Green Mtn. Boy

The man may or not be a wizz at business but lacks a foundational understanding of the Constitution and Bill of Rights,how can he be fore something which he hasn’t a clue.

Wild Bill

@GMB, Yes, that is so. He studied business like we study sectional density and ballistic coefficients. He practiced business like Alan Dershowitz practiced law. We picked DT because he is not a professional politician, and we got what we paid for. But there is no one around him to learn him up.

TXPW

There won’t be someone knocking on your door to take your guns. Laws be will changed little by little. One day you’re pulled over traveling with your firearm, they seize your gun and you’re unable to get it back even after hiring a lawyer. Or someone ‘red flags’ you. They seize your guns and you can’t get them back. Perhaps you’re mysteriously placed on some secret NICS deny list because of a traffic ticket. They seize your guns and you can’t get them back. This kind of stuff already happening at a much higher frequency. The ‘fix’ NICS I would… Read more »

You left out Jay Walking and plastic straw/shopping bag citations but good job.
Thanks.

Trump is going on numbers and history. Numbers show the left outnumber pro gunners by a large margin therefore Trump is pandering to them for votes because history proves pro gunners are not smart enough to jump a sinking ship especially when there is no other vote to cast. This is how you got here and how you will continue losing your privileges. If Trump farts a million lefty take to the streets in protest over the smell of it but if Trump wipes his big fat ass on pro gunners constitution a few will post something. You couldn’t get… Read more »

It’s really refreshing to finally see gun owners waking up to what Trump really is. He is a liar, a thief, a narcissist, and a person who simply cannot be trusted. A person who when he opens his mouth embarrasses himself, and all Americans. He is the only president in modern times who has refused to show his tax returns. He is a nepotist, employing his family in government positions for which they have no experience or training and for which they have been unable to get security clearance. He has defrauded contractors with whom he has done business, and… Read more »

FDR brought us the New Deal which gave us strong socialism because citizens demanded it but nice try. USA has been socialist country since then and AOC’s New Green Deal is round 2 already implemented under different names in my state.

Joe, I couldn’t agree more

JoeUSooner

Get mad at Trump all you like… but understand that he is (overall) good for this country. He may be a disappointment in some areas, that’s quite true. But those areas a relatively small – and the other side of the political aisle damnably-well does NOT offer anything even remotely better or preferential as an alternative. Failure to vote for Trump (the EXACT equivalent of voting for a Democrat) is not the answer. Finding a conservative candidate next time – who is equally as strong as Trump in the areas of economy, security, foreign policy, etc. AND is strong in… Read more »

As foolish as I fell this writer is to suggest we turn our backs on one of the best Presidents I’ve see in my lifetime (I’m 67), there are points being made here that Trump needs to consider if he wants ppl to believe he’s really Pro-Gun – so I sent the following email to the White House: Mr. President, I understand you believe yourself to be chummy with the ppl in the 2nd Amendment crowd but as a fan of yours (and a NRA Patron Life member) I must disabuse you of that notion. There is a growing dissent… Read more »

And you like me will receive zero response beyond that nice receival note which is standard but thanks.

Some of the “old school” ways may have been better than what we have today. Personally, I believe some caning of Senators and Congressmen on a regular basis wouldn’t be a bad idea.

USA

Can them like Tuna.

Harmon Ford

You would need to add an ‘n’ to ‘caning’ to ‘can’ them like ‘tuna’; however l do like the idea. A ‘caning’ , pronounced ‘kay-neeng’ refers to a beating with a switch or baton like instrument which might do a lot of politicos some good .

USA

Great minds think alike brother.

USA

Ol’ Folks around here say Americans been selling each other and country out for far too long and now will walk the plank or fight.
They’re much smarter than posters due to the historical advantage and better schooling before all the MS-13 and rainbow fag flag invasion/subversion stuff.

Gunner98

Any degradation of Constitutional rights is NOT no big thing. It’s an Orwellian bump and nudge in the direction of subservience to THE STATE and ONLY THOSE FEW WHO KNOW BEST AND MATTER!
I like President Trump but believe that he has surrounded himself with closet leftists who do not have America’s best interest in mind. Not being a gun guy, he has no idea when he’s being snowed by some 2A “expert.”

USA

He’s actually just full of shit. 10 lbs of it in a 5 lb sack.
But yeah, he is surrounded with his own kind that HE selected.
Note* I voted for him so I can say this. It is my right.

USA

Ban Muslim prayer rugs. Give me something, anything.

Stu Johnson

BULLSHIT, in this country we have a bill of rights which is supposed to protect rights like owning cool firearms and also RELIGION OF OUR CHOICE. I know good honest people who are Muslim and I am seriously pissed about bigotry. It serves only to further divide and distract from the real problems that we face. Thomas Jefferson fought for religious freedom including Islam. There are bad people and good people of all backgrounds. I’ve put up with racisim and religious bigotry and am PISSED, its pure bullshit And I am very conservitive, I was worried about hillary getting in,… Read more »

Thomas Jefferson formed the Marines commonly referred to as the Lesthernecks and declared war on Muslims sending them overseas to fight the Muslim pirates who were holding USA for ransom. Marines placed thick leather collars around their necks to protect from having their heads cut off thus ultimately getting the nickname “Leathernecks” and in their anthem the part that goes “from the shores of Tripoli” is refferenced from the battle when Marines slaughtered the Muslim pirates.
Thanks for bringing up history now go learn some.

USA

When Trump took office supporters demanded Soros be locked up and Trump said to leave soros alone that he’s an old man but you who are doing nothing and minding your own business are being sanctioned for things you are no part of and you think a republic still exists when in fact it is by legal definition a tyranny and ultimately why you are being scrutinized as a villain by the thought police. Vote for more like last time.

JoeUSooner

Vote for more?? More economic growth, more national security, stronger foreign policy? Better overall standard of living (especially for my grandchildren) and slower attacks on 2nd Amendment? You can damned-well bet I’ll vote for more of that… because it is the best choice I can make – those clowns in the Democrat Party offer NOTHING to me or to society in general. And those Socialist cuckoo-clocks would be even more (overtly and dangerously) aggressive about full-bore gun-control. I’ll sanely take the lesser of the two evils, thank you, without letting any “pet peeve” disappointments over smaller issues make me turn… Read more »

Trump is the first politician to actually get gun confiscation which is not slower gun control and he wiped out the entire Bill of Rights in doing so in my state but nice try.
