I don't see any conflict between those two statements, or any need for correction. What is "prevention of tyranny" if it's not self defense against the most heinous and deadly criminals throuout history - corrupt government?Skiprr wrote:I admit I did not expect this from Trump.

Here's the link to his position statement: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/ ... ent-rights.
The only gripe I have is...
IMHO, the Founders didn't have only self-defense in mind. The 2nd is about prevention of tyranny.Donald Trump wrote:Our Founding Fathers knew, and our Supreme Court has upheld, that the Second Amendment’s purpose is to guarantee our right to defend ourselves and our families. This is about self-defense, plain and simple.
Trump corrects himself in the very next paragraph:
Donald Trump wrote:It’s been said that the Second Amendment is America’s first freedom. That’s because the Right to Keep and Bear Arms protects all our other rights.
