Trump does not support 2A

I have supported Trump since the primaries and will continue to do so. That does not mean I cannot be objective when considering both his actions and his rhetoric.

He does not support the Second Amendment as much as I would like or as much as many of you want to believe.

As if the Republican controlled Senate’s failure to enact national concealed handgun carry reciprocity legislation and President Trump’s failure to push forward a pro-Second Amendment agenda during his first two years in Office weren’t bad enough—a serious failure of omission on the part of both the U.S. Senate and the President—Trump’s ban on“bump stocks”—an act of commission—is even worse.

The 9th Circuit Court covers 15 federal districts in Alaska, Arizona, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Northern Mariana Islands, and Washington (state). President Trump's nominee to lead this historically hard-leftist court is the very left-of-center Mark Jeremy Bennett. When the Democrat leadership heard about Trump's pick, they were overjoyed, just as they had been a little over a month ago, when Trump told Democrats not to be afraid of the National Rifle Association, and that they should move forward with gun control.

"In 2008, Bennett was one of five state attorneys general supporting the District of Columbia in D.C. v. Heller. Bennett opined that "a decision that the Second Amendment prohibits strict gun-control laws is just wrong."

The past six months of witnessing this turnaround by the president leads to some questions that firearms-rights group leaders need to be asking him directly AND THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE. What does Trump believe the Second Amendment to mean? Is owning a hunting rifle, sporting shotgun, or handgun Second Amendment-enough for him, as "ruled" in some of the horrible firearms-restricting judicial comments within the Heller decision? Maybe that is what Trump is willing to protect, your right to own a target or hunting long gun and a handgun for defense against common criminals - all with a capacity of 10 rounds or less and none in military-style configurations. It seems that he, as well as other "pro-gun" politicians want the intended right of having the ability to defend liberty, freedom, and one's life against a tyrannical or genocidal government to be done away with. Recently, the Supreme Court refused to hear a case regarding the constitutionality of the "assault weapons" ban in Maryland. The Second Amendment "savior" on the bench that Trump appointed, Neil Gorsuch, also agreed with the other judges (according to some news reports), but this is not surprising, as Gorsuch stated during his confirmation hearings that he would rule on the Second Amendment based on the Heller decision.

I will be meeting with the NRA, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no fly list, to buy guns.
