I say Trump regardless. Maybe he is not the most pro gun guy but he isn't Hillary so that's enough for me.

This. I don't care how bad you hate trump, Hillary is straight un-american. Nothing about her is anything I would want representing my voice, much less potus. How can you honestly be a hillary supporter and claim the U.S.? She is so far beyond that....

For myself I don't like any of my choices and Trump is the lesser of all the evils presented this time around. I don't think this country take 4 more years like the last 8. That and we have the Supreme Court to consider. That is the most serious point of all this to me.

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.

:iagree: THIS! One does not need to look any further than Johnson's pick of Weld to be his running mate to know that the Libertarian ticket is NOT friendly to the 2A.

I'm a small "l" libertarian, but that party has to get serious about liberties other than legalizing pot before I can take their POTUS nominee seriously.

That's the answer I was looking for really. I don't see a real logical reason why short barreled rifles and supressors are sp regulated anyway. I mean probably one out of every ar15 owners own an ar pistol. What really is the government helping by making a stock illegal on the same gun "labeled" a pistol? Supressors and even shprt barreled rifles or rifle caliber pistols do not contribute to absolutely any of the "firearms issues" (even though there is no such thing).

I definitely agree with this. I was severely disappointed in their choice of candidate this time around.
