Re: Trump Position Paper

I doubt Trump even knows that NFA items are, much less that he'd make their repeal a campaign issue. That's not the point. The point is that if Hillary is elected, she will appoint anti-gun justices to the Supreme Court who will be chomping at the bit to overturn Heller and worse, not to mention continuing to push the envelope of anti-gun executive orders and the constant drumbeat of "gun control" from the bully pulpit. The line is going to crack sooner rather than later.

For all his faults, and there are many including past anti-gun statements and positions, Trump has been fairly consistent about the type of justices he would appoint and he was been a fairly consistent defender of the 2nd Amendment in broad terms since he started his campaign. If you are at all concerned over gun rights, and you wouldn't be on this board if you weren't, there is simply no other choice this election. A Hillary victory all but guarantees that we will see an erosion of the 2nd amendment, if not its outright invalidation. I don't see how we are doing ourselves any favors by questioning Trump's commitment to making automatic weapons more accessible - that's an uphill battle in the best of times, certainly not when we are literally on the brink of losing the country. Trump may or may not be the "savior" but right now he represents our only hope of at least buying some time to mount a better defense.
