Following a previous white paper on immigration, Donald Trump has now released his official positions on guns and the Second Amendment, which can be found on his campaign website.

Trump breaks his positions on the issue to three major points:

Enforce the laws on the books Fix our broken mental health system Defend the rights of law-abiding gun owners

Trump calls the Obama administration’s record of enforcing laws against violent criminals “abysmal,” pointing instead to programs like Richmond, Virginia’s Project Exile, which he says was a success and describes in the following way:

And at the next debate, the "moderators" and other candidates will complain that he doesn't have a position on domestic issues.

4. Create a civil rights division within the BATF and go after towns, cities and states that violate the 2nd amendment rights of American Citizens.

Innocent white liberals in big cities are getting pummeled and killed by Obuma’s black thugs. Time to offer these coal mine canaries self-defense courses, Mr. Cruz. Let’s stir the politically correct pot and make liberal heads explode.

Trump is the one we need

A guy suggested he could not compromise build relationships or get consensus. I reminded him:

20000 employees in a union dominated business, no union and not one person has come forward to badmouth him. You can bet the press is looking

Deals all over the world not one person has said he deals dirty

His kids all work and seem to love him.

The Ivanna deal backfired on the pests.

His desk and office is that of a hands on collaborator. Phone rollodex, he places his own calls, no computer. It is also not over the top opulent. It is all function and business.

I trust him and I dont trust anyone.

Etc.

Because the 2nd amendment rights of the American people need to be protected.

Why is it you should ask that only minority, gay, lesbian, disabled, trans gendered, labor rights ie leftisum rights are enforced by the fed gov when all the rights enumerated in the Bill of rights for the rest of us are ignored.

Besides it will drive the left crazy using their own tactics against them.

The Second Amendment enumerates natural rights that are endowed to us by our creator. We don’t need the BATFE.

I wonder if he knows that the Left is going to use any excuse of “mental health” to disarm Americans. What Trump thinks of as mentally ill is not what anti-gun activists think.

Unfortunately, he’s not aware that the “science” of mental health is politicized.
