National right to carry would be awesome. No longer could D.C., NY, Chicago, San Francisco and the rest of the gun banning cabal could abuse the Second Amendment rights of their people.
I am a huge supporter of States Rights and the 10th Amendment and I hate to see the Federal government tyrannize the states in any way, but the Second Amendment is a flat out right guaranteed by the Constitution and should apply to EVERY US citizen EVERYWHERE. It is not as if Chicago or NY can simply nullify your right to a speedy trial or against self-incrimination just because they are a state government.
If Trump can achieve a national right to carry, my head will explode with joy and disbelief. And millions of liberal heads will explode all over this nation.
Please make this happen Mr. President. Please!
I’ll believe it when I see it.
I believe he’ll be a good President, but as a New Yorker, he’s so steeped in the broth of no-guns that it’s hard to trust such statements of belief.

There is no contradiction in your stance. Article Ten says that those rights not enumerated by the Constitution are left to the states and the Second Amendment is specifically enumerated.
The right to keep and bear arms applies in all the USA and territories there of just as much as the other eight do.
A national concealed carry license is a good step in the right direction. I applaud President Trump for advocating it.
Naturally, the ultimate goal is to remove all government restrictions on the exercise of the 2nd Amendment. National constitutional carry is something I dearly would like to see one day.
I like the defense he’s playing, and the bit of offense. I’d like to see a broad offense as well, removing supressors from the NFA act. :)
