Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made a radical promise last night to a crowd in Vermont of what he will do his first day in office concerning guns.
"You know what a gun free zone is to sickos? That's bait!" Trump said.
"I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and -- you have to -- and on military bases. My first day, it gets signed, okay? My first day. There's no more gun-free zones."

Wow. But dont forget the wall.
Except how will he do it when it’s a law and can’t be overriden by executive order
Does that include post offices?
I don’t really don’t know. Probably.
lol. The concrete trucks will be rolling to the border on inaugural day! To hell with the environmental studies! lol
Cruz was calling for this back in July after the Chattanooga shootings.
Amen!
Cruz is a debater. Trump is a visionary and speaks truth to power.
Ellipses? Yeah, I hate ellipses too. Only retarded bloggers use them. Get rid of them!
This will make liberals’ heads explode. They literally believe that guns cause people to turn into bloodthirsty murderers whenever it comes anywhere near a school.
Well, a possible first step you can take is to cripple the agencies which are supposed to be enforcing that particular law.
Another tactic, well used by the left is to not defend against a lawsuit and, when they enevitably lose, blame the courts and judges.
"You know what a gun free zone is to sickos? That's bait! I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and -- you have to -- and on military bases. My first day, it gets signed, okay? My first day. There's no more gun-free zones."
OK, so he’ll ask the Republican Congress to put a bill on his desk posthaste that he can sign immediately. The Republican Congress could draft it now, debate it, amend it, finalize it, get it passed in both houses, and get it to President Trump for signature the afternoon of Friday, January 20, 2017.
Works for me!
By working with Congress.
Cruz calls for others to do things; Trump does them.
Thank you for referencing that article BlackFemaleArmyCaptain.
Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at Trump and not at you.
Noting that I will vote for Trump if nominated, if I understand Trump correctly, please consider the following. Constitutionally low-information Trump can get rid of all gun-free zones that are uniquely controlled by the executive branch. But he has to fight Congress concerning such zones where control of such zones overlaps with legislative branch.
And Trump has to say ”please” with a big smile on his face with respect to getting rid of gun-free zones that are uniquely under INTRAstate control.
If corrupt Congress actually lets Trump get away with making unconstitutional executive orders to fulfill campaign promises like they let lawless Obama get away with doing, then it is only a matter of time before we are cursed with another president like Obama.
This is why patriots have to support Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that is willing to work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited power to support the president.
Insights welcome.
