Trump has spoken out about gun control and for millions of Americans, there will be hell to pay. His specific policy position on the Second Amendment is well thought out and demonstrates a clear grasp of the Constitution.
“The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.”
The right to keep and bear arms is a right that pre-exists both the government and the Constitution, noting that government didn’t create the right, nor can it take it away.
He has listed on his website his beliefs as well as what he believes needs to be done to uphold the 2nd Amendment.
-
Tougher enforcement of laws that are already on the books, rather than adding new gun control laws.
-
Strengthening and expanding laws allowing law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves from criminals using their own guns, without fear of repercussion from the government.
-
Proposed fixing our nation’s broken mental health system by increasing treatment opportunities for the non-violent mentally ill, but removing from the streets those people who pose a danger to themselves and others.
-
Do away with pointless and ineffective gun and magazine bans and suggested fixing the current background check system already in place, rather than expanding a broken system.
-
A national right to carry, a national concealed carry reciprocity law that would compel states to recognize the concealed carry permits of any other state.
-
Lift the prohibition on military members carrying weapons on military bases and in recruiting centers, allowing trained military members to carry weapons to protect themselves.
The left will be ticked off beyond belief, which is awesome! And for those of us who cherish the Constitution, it is a beautiful thing to have specifics that speak to the very heart of the Second Amendment. Trumps understanding that this right is “‘America’s first freedom,’ and pointing out that it helps protect all of the other rights we hold dear” is encouraging.

trump stands for Zionists and they want too ban guns so he will fall in line
When does the Mcrib come back? Oh and I’m an NRA member and gun collector. Second amendment rights for life.
Yes, but trump is just a blow hard that says what people want to hear. Cruz on the other hand is a nut case that just want to shut down the government for any reason so he can say he did it without a clue as to what would ensue if he did!
Trump doesn’t know what an oath is!
Willum Prather you are so very wrong, seems that you are lead by media , Ted Cruz is one if the most educated candidates, cares more about America and following the Constitution, and 1 person cannot shut Government down maybe you need to talk to the 11 democrats that agree with Ted Cruz…I work for Government and will still work if shut down so will 80% of all employees, so it is just a political and media showing. The Government would not even have to worry if the would do the right thing and stop using Threats, so is Ted Cruz sharing it down or the fact the democrats feel they can ignore issues and force blame onto someone else. They cannot beat Ted Cruz or Donald Trump so they will try anything to set them back. But what Ted Cruz is doing and why is right for America and the American people not a political ploy like Democrats try to do. They do what’s right Government stays open, refuse Then Ted Cruz and the majority of Republicans and 11 democrats shut it down but remember Ted Cruz is not majority leader he cannot shut anything down alone. LOL
Trump has put out an amazing position paper on his support of the Second Amendment, which, with what is happening with the islamic invasion the government is focused on bringing to the US, is very important for our personal defense. Instead of reporting onthis, the media instead deflected the attention to some idiot asking is obama is a muslim….Support for Donald Trump and our Second amendment rights are way more important!!! Donald Trump for President!
To be honest, one post sort of killed my enthusiasm. It’s a post I read a few minutes ago. Ahhh.
Trump changed his position to being very pro-gun when he was opposed to “assault weapons” ownership and wanted longer waiting periods for gun purchases just 15 years ago. What else is he flip-flopping on to get votes? I don’t trust him. At all.
GOOD!!!
WE ALL BETTER BE READY AND ABLE IMMEDIATELY!! Amen!!
