Trump is definitely pro-gun and it's because of his gun-owning sons. What we can get passed in Congress is uncertain, but national reciprocity is a primary goal. Removal of suppressors as NFA items is certainly a possibility, as is the removal of SBR's. The latter is a stretch.

Oh yeah, Johnson has no chance of winning, nor to I want him to win.

<soapbox on> I don't see how it is unconstitutional for a state to not recognize a marriage license issued by another state (gay marriage), yet it is entirely constitutional for a state to not recognize a LTC issued by another state. <soapbox off>
Because not all states issue handgun licenses and not all those who do are "shall issue" some are "may issue".
And importantly to the example, at the time the supreme court made this ruling some states did not allow same sex couples to get a marriage license at all, while other did. States had different requirements (blood tests, etc) that needed to be met in order to get a license if the couple was eligible in that state, etc.

State's have different requirements for getting drivers licenses also (drivers ed is required for those under 18 in some but not all states), yet all state's recognize each others driver's licenses.

Re: If a pro gun candidate makes office....

I don't think there is a "pro gun" candidate running for President. Certainly not Trump, and I believe that Johnson has expressed some willingness for "common sense" gun control. I think the best we can hope for at the federal level is to not have any further infringement on our right to keep and bear arms.
