Former President Donald Trump’s campaign was forced to walk back a claim that he purchased a Glock pistol at a South Carolina gun shop on Monday amid questions about the legality of such a purchase considering he has been charged with numerous felonies in multiple cases.
“President Trump buys a [Glock] in South Carolina!” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung posted on X Monday afternoon, including video of the former president at the Palmetto State Armory in Summerville holding a Glock and saying, “Wow.”
“I’ve got to buy one. I want to buy one,” Trump said in the video.
Cheung, who later deleted the X post, told Fox News Digital, “President Trump did not purchase or take possession of the firearm. He simply indicated that he wanted one.”
Stephen Gutowski, a firearms expert and founder of The Reload, took to X, arguing it would be a crime for Trump to buy a Glock “because he’s under felony indictment.” …

He’s showing 2A support I like it.
So “charged” = “convicted”?
That was my immediate take. FOX gleeful at even the possibility Trump has done something wrong. I Do NOT WATCH FOX at all since the 2020 election.
I guess the rule of law is now decided on a day-to-day basis by whatever self-proclaimed exspurt some Faux News propaganda outfit has on the air.
So an accusation can ban you from getting a gun?
That’s what Stephen Gutowski asserts.
The lib media is very fond of talking to Gutowski on Second Amendment matters.
Send that one to Gutowski.
He is a Florida resident. He can’t purchase a handgun in South Carolina.
So “charged” = “convicted”?
********************
When our corrupt law system goes after someone, even without a conviction, the state can take away Constitutional Rights prior to a trial.
The 2nd Amendment frequently gets “stomped on” by actors working towards a police state model of government.
What’s the law that says he cannot, and how does that law supersede the Second Amendment?
The current law says you have to be a resident of the state where you want to purchase a handgun.
“He is a Florida resident. He can’t purchase a handgun in South Carolina.”
***
He can if the dealer ships the firearm to a licensed dealer in Florida, to then be transferred to Trump.
What “current law”?
Yes an accusation can get you banned from owning a gun.
Its called misdemeanor domestic abuse charge and it doesnt have to be proven (it can be a total lie).
Right
I guess you’re ignorent
Nope.
