Many of you have received an email from the NRA-ILA on this subject. The text of today's mail reads:
Have you ever wanted to personally address the candidates during a presidential debate? Find yourself yelling questions at the moderators through your TV? Don’t worry--you’re not alone.
But now, you can actually do something about it. On Sunday, October 9th at 9 p.m. eastern, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will once again face off as they make their cases to the American public and the moderators have agreed to ask questions submitted and voted on by the general public.
This is where you come in. We need your help to get the Second Amendment on the debate stage and make Hillary Clinton answer for her anti-gun policies! All you have to do is click on the link below to vote for the one pro-gun question we want asked.
The link is
https://presidentialopenquestions.com/q ... /308/vote/.
The actual text of the question is: "
How will you ensure the 2nd amendment is protected? Too much crime is blamed on the tool, not the person. How will you protect law abiding citizens to protect themselves?"
You don't have to register at the site, but you do have to provide an email address and zip code. Currently, the question has 39,235 votes. Let's see if we can bump that up even higher.

Have you?
I have, but there are other questions posted that to me are important as well. For example:
"How can any new gun control law stop terrorists or criminals from getting guns?
Only the law abiding obey laws. Explain how ANY new law prevents a criminal from getting a gun without taking freedoms away from the rest of us. Don't use vague terms like "Commonsense" in your answer"
https://presidentialopenquestions.com/questions/14106/
And this one:
"Would you support requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales?
My son was murdered by someone who should have never had a gun. Gaps in our current system make it easy for felons & other dangerous people to buy guns online & at gun shows, no questions asked."

This question is a liberal, anti-gun talking point. (Note the person posting the question is from California)
There is no gap in the current system allowing anyone to buy guns online and at gun shows with no background check.
The exception is private sales between individuals at gun shows and anywhere else. Making this a requirement is a slippery slope the anti-gun people would love to achieve.

I get all that. I would like to have Trump answer it in the same manner that he did for his interview in the October NRA magazine.

Write it down. The question about universal background checks will be asked.
