#stillTrump? Question of the Day
The Truth About Guns ^ | 03/18/18 | Robert Farago

Posted on 03/18/2018 10:21:58 AM PDT by Simon Green

Before President Trump took office, The People of the Gun were giddy at the prospect of gun rights restoration. At the very least, we expected suppressors to be removed from the National Firearms Act, so they could be purchased with a simple background check at an FFL. Nope. All we get in that regard . . .

is some additional funding for the notoriously some might say infamously anti-gun rights ATF to process suppressor applications more quickly. National reciprocity? Fuhgeddaboutit.

In fact, President Trump (and the NRA) supports new gun regulation: “fixing NICs” and so-called Extreme Risk Protection Orders — a California-born “innovation” that puts Americans’ right to due process and their right to keep and bear arms at risk.

Not to mention directing the Department of Justice to find a way to ban bump fire stocks — a regulation that may open the door to restrictions on other gun parts and accessories and, eventually, certain types of firearms.

On the positive side, President Trump wants the DOJ to help train armed teachers. And he still isn’t Hillary Clinton. Is that enough to maintain your support for President Trump, assuming he had it before?

My answer is yes. Far better than Hillary...but his vacillation on gun rights is very disappointing.

Confiscation is coming. We may never have a president that will satisfy all gun owners. Delaying the day when we have to put up or shut up on confiscation may be the best we can hope for.

Confiscation is now under way for adult Americans in the state of Florida, previously strong on gun rights.

Republicans passed this.

Trump is on the watch list and will not fulfill his 2nd amend promises.
