If we elect a very conservative congress he is not going to get away with much or we can pick one of the two illegal aliens and the immigration problem will get worse. I would be willing to settle for a lame duck president for four years. to give the country time to get past the Obama years. once Trump is elected then we can start working on getting him replaced with a real conservative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-74550011896909471062016-03-09T12:24:52.073+10:002016-03-09T12:24:52.073+10:00Donald Trumps Second Amendment position paper is t...Donald Trumps Second Amendment position paper is the most ridiculous piece of garbage I have read in quite some time. To say that he is the most outspoken, putting him ahead of the man who argued HELLER is really quite pathetic. <br /> <br />Trump believes government is empowered to force upon us permission slips. That means trump disregards RIGHTS, enumerated rights, relegating them to just permissions. <br /> <br />He clearly has a very limited understanding of the Second Amendment, especially where jurisprudence is concerned. Ironic as it is, he has now understanding of Incorporation. <br /> <br />Read his policy paper! He clearly does not understand what privileges and imunities means. He is diametrically opposed to Justice Thomas concurrence in McDonald and the history of the 14th he so elegantly lays out for people to read and understand. That means Trump has it wrong. According to SCOTUS, Trump has it wrong. Heck, according to the Second Trump is wrong. <br /> <br />The nation, and apparently the author, is being conned.

As is typical of the government, it reacted by forbidding possession of firearms by the CUSTOMERS, who weren't even the problem.Henrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-39773195175362846902016-03-08T23:21:04.259+10:002016-03-08T23:21:04.259+10:00Also repeal the Hughes Amendment to FOPA.Also repeal the Hughes Amendment to FOPA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-57425854405011252922016-03-08T22:20:22.537+10:002016-03-08T22:20:22.537+10:00Each one is worthy of a separate article.

The distinction is pointless in this day and age and does nothing other than ensnare shooters in irrelevant and ineffective bureaucratic regulations.<br /><br />3) Revoke the 1989 Presidential Executive Order prohibiting import of "assault rifles." While this is surely a boon to the domestic manufacturers who have flourished, some of us are partial to other manufacturers around the world too (H&K, Steyr, FN etc.)<br /><br />4) Eliminate the "sporting purposes" test for whether a rifle is "acceptable" to BATF.<br /><br />Now, with all of the foregoing removed, whatever will BATF do with all the spare time? I think they should allow manufacture, import, and sale of Class III fully-automatic weapons using the restrictive requirements they developed for suppressors and SBRs. So, everyone (finally) wins!Cadeyrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211742369544293772noreply@blogger.com
