I wonder how many people on FR would support the government taking their guns as long as they are justly compensated?

Private property is private property. Rights are rights. The right to own a firearm assumes the right to own private property.

In the end, Trump’s support of eminent domain and any other questionable stances won’t matter one iota to the Trump fan base.
