Trump is pro Trump. He cares nothing about the second.

Thomas Jefferson. That is probably why he died in debt. Spent it all at the Mill.

Lot of people don't know that he died penniless. I believe his nephew had to sell off the contents of the estate to settle the debtors judgements. The house sat abandoned for sometime and was slated for demolition when a ladies auxiliary raised enough money to buy and save the place.

I'm hoping Vance is advising him on 2A, otherwise this photo was nothing more than garnering pre-election support from gun owners. Hold him accountable.

Fixed stock, no bayonet lug, compensator instead of a flash hider, this rifle has no evil features. It’s AWB 2.0 safe. It also appears to have no trigger. There’s definitely a bit of photoshop in the trigger area. My guess is that JD had his finger on the trigger, and someone needed to teach him rule 3 in post.

I can see the curve of a trigger guard, but the shadows and low resolution make it less obvious.

That's also a 2 year old picture, in response to the Chinese balloon scare in early 2023.

Some of the photoshops were beyond funny.

Trump. The bastion of DEI maintainers. LOL

(FWIW, I think he had more women on his cabinet last time than any other president. I think that was part of Joltin Joe's reasoning for Kamala and otehr picks.)

Trump doesn’t care about 2A as much as YOU do, be he’s got a mountain of problems he is going to have to deal with. And Pam Bondi isn’t going to have time to go after your 2A rights.

I swear you guys panic worse than liberals about the guy at times.

If you really were about that 2A life you wouldn’t care what a tyrant has to say about it

I had to choose between a LOL and a Heart reaction. I chose LOL but Heart was just as appropriate. Some here only want Brandon Hererra appointed to cabinet level positions. At one point they supported Ben Shapiro, but he said something negative once about some obscure point and now he's labeled "liberal shill."

I feel like Ulysses S. Grant would have been a pretty strong supporter. You know, after the whole Shiloh thing. Probably a GOAL member if he had the chance.

Grant not only joined the NRA, but served as president of the NRA in 1883-4. He also worked against race-based gun bans.

The war wasn't moving forward.....

Lincoln's Chief of Staff: Why are you putting Grant in charge of the Army, he's a loudmouth drunk?

Lincoln: I know that, but he fights like HELL.

True.

I should have been more specific when I wrote that comment, I really meant "we" as in most people that are like alive on this board now. I think if theres any 2A presidents that ever existed, they all existed before JFK etc. I don't think there are any afer GCA68.

The other problem is that back when someone like Grant or even Teddy Roosevelt existed, Guns were about as politically polarizing as a broomstick or a hammer. So one could even argue that, while these people appeared to support citizens rights to bear arms, their resolve was never really tested all that well on the ground because it simply didn't matter.

I don't think we'll ever see a true 2A president, and by true I mean "at least ACTIVELY does a few things to support RKBA initiatives" and I'm not even talking absolutism. Like for example if Trump did literally like ONE or TWO things in his last presidency and said something like "the idea that the NRA wants me to ban bump stocks is foolish, it is clearly not within the governments authority to do something like that, and I also think red flag laws are dangerous because they dodge due process and are a form of regulatory overreach" (not in those words but you get the idea) basically most of us here would say that he was the best 2A president that ever lived when you add in the SC nominations etc. And thats sadly a VERY low bar compared to the stuff thats truely hardline 2A support.

Lol have we ever had a 2A president? This isn't news the only thing you'll ever be able to say is that because of the Supreme Court he doesn't suck as much as the other guys but it is what it is and it's not going to change because the bulk of the voters are too stupid to place a high level of importance on that issue. Whining about president X not being solidly pro gun won't change that status.

Nine have been members of the NRA 1 Democrat, 8 Republicans.

Grant, Roosevelt, Taft, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, Trump.

Kamala had a Glock.

I agree. Trump was better than Harris but I don't want a "lesser of two evils" on the 2A to be my only choice for President.

It would be nice to get Grant back for one more term, though.
 
Let's see what the man does before you start bashing
Sound's just like those whiners on the left........
 
It's logical. If gun owners don't vote Republican, who are they going to vote for? This means that Republicans can support a ton of gun control, just as long as they stay slightly pro gun. They'll still get the pro-gun vote, and will get the soccer moms, the moderates and the middle of the road people.

This means that Trump and Bond will probably end up supporting red flag, maybe an assault weapons ban, a magazine ban, universal background checks, and the rest, and gun owners will still vote Republican.

George H.W. Bush Quit the NRA With This Sternly Worded Letter

The 41st president’s iconoclastic brand of Republicanism led him to take a stand against the gun group's rhetoric of fear.

TBF - GHWB WAS one of the JBT's. So I can see where that offended him. He also penned Voodoo Economics. He was convinced, much like Obama, that hte solution to most of America's problems lain in the central goverment. Funny his predecessor did NOT feel that way. And I think how he believed government helped Americans stemmed from them seemingly to actually care back in the 60's and 70's.

LOL - Yeah, whatever.
The guy literally wrote the 2nd amendment, with Jefferson's help.

It was 1824 Virginia. Guys were probably showing up with loaded muskets to class. Challenging each other to duels in the lecture halls.
