As the Democrats argue amongst themselves who is the most anti-gun of all, one Republican in particular is speaking out in defense the Second Amendment.
That Republican, of course, is none other than Donald Trump, the current frontrunner in the GOP primary. Speaking on Meet The Press, he offered a convincing defense of gun rights and an interesting account of his own evolution on the subject.
Asked by Chuck Todd about his past support for gun control, Trump explained that his views in the 1990’s, like most Americans, were very different from his views now. This is plausible since the 90’s saw the introduction of the federal assault weapons ban, an ineffective restriction on firearms that did nothing to reduce crime and convinced many that gun control wasn’t the answer.
Indeed, in the current political climate, it is almost insane to imagine that people shouldn’t be able to defend themselves. As Trump argued on the program, the threat posed to America by terrorist groups like ISIS is so great that Americans would be wise to stock up on firearms and remind potential attackers that “bullets go both ways.”

WE need Trump because he”s LOUD AND people need to HEAR…..that are like ZOMBIES. HE is an AMERICAN.. THEY tend to be LOUD. HE knows Business. HE knows when not to offend. HE does business with the Saudi’s so you know he has to know how to act WORLD wide, and CHINA.(although he is mad because China doesn’t pay taxes when the rest of the world does). He does not do drugs, or drink or smoke…..he was brought up in Church, has a great family ……even though he didn’t keep the first one together… He has lots of good FRUITS. I think he would be great with CRUZ as a Vice President because CRUZ knows how things are run in Congress. but TRUMP knows the People. He is also very well educated… He also put his OWN $ of 6 Million on the line to KEEP ISLAM FROM BUILDING A MOSQUE ON THE 9-11 spot. (that is part of their thing is build a MOSQUE on another Countries Sacred spots and they call that a VICTORY. So, he stopped them.

Very Interesting take on Donald Trump – Think about it… will they stop him, Democrats and Republicans alike?
This affects all Americans who get the short end of the stick… Democrats and Republicans and Independents.
Interesting take on Donald Trump
Former U. S. Secretary of Education , William J. Bennett’s frankly candid and shocking observations of Donald Trump’s impact on the behavior of the entrenched Washington D. C. bureaucrats in both parties — and the risk The Donald faces in so doing.
William J. Bennett, Host of Bill Bennett’s Morning in America Show, is one of America ‘s most important, influential, and respected voices on cultural, political, and education issues. He has one of the strongest Christian world views of any writer in modern times.
What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency
By Bill Bennett
They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.
Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.
It’s about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one for all and all for one.
It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.
Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart. It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.
These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there’s one man who isn’t beholden to anyone There’s one man who doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher’s union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.
Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.
Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?
First, I’d guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.
Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything. Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth , why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you’re a good old boy, you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.
But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate. He questioned Obama’s college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He’s questioning our relationship with Mexico; he’s questioning why the border is wide open; he’s questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he’s questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he’s questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he’s questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.
Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question! I’m certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare’s architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?
Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump’s election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama’s records, the game is over. The jig is up. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bungler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi . The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.
Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.
Yes, it’s become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can’t silence him. And they sure can’t intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he’s the one telling the truth.
Are these people serious? #dumptrump
AMEN Trump for president
Love that statement so much just had to share it !
Casey, pray til you’re blue in the face, read more than 1 ‘good book’… learn to read between the lines & develope intuitive logic, & you may find that currently you’re not so wise. And you are correct, this conversation w/ you is considerably boreing.
I would rather see him in our WH than Hillary. She has vision of being the Queen. As for Trump, he knows how to make money, he knows how to make people do their job . He knows how to put the fear of a nation out there. As for his bankruptcies. He knows how to make it all work out. Democrats are afraid of him getting control of things, dont you think , I mean think HUMANS that in order to get things back to being a United States of America you would have to get control, enforce the laws, and make them the same for all? Really. We elected a movie star as President, and he did a good job. When you put hate, prejudice, ego, habitual lieing,and idiotic plans, (without thinking)then you get what we have had the last 7 years. No Odiots numbers are NOT good. Democrats just dont want to see the real facts. God Bless America.
Trump are you still ok with banning AR’s? if not could you tell us when you changed your mind? Was it before or after you were a democrat or before or after you give money to hillary and planned parenthood? Just asking.
Then why do the bad guys think they have the run of the country????. It’s because Obama is trying to take guns away from the good citizens??. He wants a civil war to downgrade our country so his muslims can move in and take over!!!. Let’s stand up America??? Do you want to lose your country????
