Let's hope he remembers who his friends are, and helped get him elected. https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/arti ... since-1983President Donald Trump will speak at the National Rifle Association’s annual convention on April 28, becoming the first U.S. president to address the gun-rights group since Ronald Reagan in 1983. “The NRA is honored to have the president address our annual meeting at the leadership forum,” said Jennifer Baker, a spokeswoman for the NRA. “We’re excited to once again have a president who respects the Second Amendment.” The NRA endorsed Trump’s bid for president last May, after the then-candidate addressed the group’s annual forum in Louisville, Kentucky. Trump pledged at the time to “save our Second Amendment” and appoint judges which would support expansive gun rights.

I want to hear him announce his support and/or implementation of:
-a special DOJ prosecutor to go after cities and states and counties that hurt 2A. -plans to sign the hearing aid act, a bill to gut the rest of NFA and national carry reciprocity and to push the blue dog dems in states he won to overcome the legislative 60 vote cloture threshold in the Senate. -an elimination of most ATF rules and regulations -EOs reversing ALL of Obama's gun EOs. (Garand importation, Russian import ban, silly CDC research proposals, etc.)

And Ronald Reagan signed away access to new machine guns for civilians...and advocated for an AWB.
What does that suggest for Trump?

Why would Trump turn on gun owners when it would mean his last term? He's not stupid. The libtards would never vote for him even if he banned guns altogether.

What does that suggest for Trump? Most likely nothing, inasmuch as he is not Reagan.

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

The Hughes Amendment was an 11th hour addition. Reagan probably didn't understand what the language meant and signed the bill anyways.
Trump is smarter than that, and I hope that he will speak to waht Alpine mentioned in his post.

What does that suggest for Trump? Trump and Reagan are connected in all ways? Suggests more about your leanings than anything. You know for the party CURRENTLY attacking gun rights from every angle.

What does that suggest for Trump? Mr. Doom & Gloom . . . thanks. I think it's a fair question considering that the foundations for many of the problems we as gun owners in this country face (vilification of "assault weapons", executive order import bans) and the odious Hughes Amendment came under the sponsorship or outright support of past GOP presidents. Reagan and Daddy Bush both pushed back our freedoms in that regard, W stands as something of an outlier there, although he could have rolled back Russian and Chinese import bans that had been signed by his predecessors if he had wanted. So what will Trump do? That is a very good question and a critical one that should be asked.

I don't see it as a question. I see it as, "we're still so fucked."
Personally, I like feeling upbeat about gun rights for a change and I'd like to keep it that way.

Critical questioning is exactly what I'm trying to do. Meanwhile, you guys have guzzled the Kool-Aid by the gallon.

What does that suggest for Trump? Easy. That suggests that Trump should be better than Reagan.

Your unwillingness to answer my question (attempting to pivot) - AND - Trump's inaction on this issue speaks volumes. To be clear - this (41F still in place) should tell every 2A voter everything they need to know about Trump.
