Trump

It’s often argued that the American murder rate is high because guns are more available here than in other countries. After a tragedy like the massacre at Columbine High School, anyone could feel that it is too easy for Americans to get their hands on weapons. But nobody has a good solution. This is another issue where you see the extremes of the two existing major parties. Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within seventy-two hours if a potential gun owner has a record.

Can we assume The Donald would defend not only the letter of the 2A, but the spirit as well?

Meaning idiotic interpretations like it’s only meant for hunting rifles or it’s only meant for Mike Bloomberg and Oprah’s bodyguards - things like that.

EVRYONE READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE!!!

I know it is FReeper tradition to read three sentences and make their mind up. In this case please read the entire article. Some very straight and common sense talk from Trump.

In typical Trump fashion, he didn't repudiate what he wrote in his book, instead he only addresses the AR-15.

I tried to get tickets to see Trump here in Phoenix tomorrow. They had to move it to a bigger venue and I am still on a long wait list. I probably won't get tickets.

The Mexican radicals are foaming at the mouth here.
