Trump Administration Breaks Campaign Pledge, Places Gun Owners under Siege


“Your Second Amendment rights are under siege, but they will never, ever be under siege as long as I'm your president.” [More]
The siege has begun. And all his in-denial enablers have to offer is the ridiculous "Would you prefer Hillary?" straw man, as if that excuses all transgressions and should silence those pointing out realities.

Actually, I would prefer Hillary. Better the enemy we know, than a turncoat we trust.

Speaking for myself, I would not prefer Hillary, though I understand that point of view. Trump has been a real disappointment, and not just on gun rights. However, I believe that, by this time in her first term, Hillary would have already stripped many of those gun rights away using her husband's favorite tool, the Executive Order. In a sense, we are back where we were in the George H.W. Bush administration: the Dumbos know we will vote for them because where else do we have to go? The only way they will learn differently is going to be expensive for us - sit home* on election day after a very visible and well-organized gun owner campaign. Given the degree of funding and organization of gun prohibitionists, I think the price tag of a "no vote for Dumbos" campaign is going to be too high.

*By "sit home" I mean no lesser-of-evils votes for wishy-washy Republicrats. Gun owners will always support proven friends. I just wish we had more of them.

The point is, bringing Hillary into it at all is an irrelevant argument.

I'll keep this quick.
I never preferred either Trump nor Hitlery. But of course Trump is the lesser of the two evils. I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE WAYNE LAPIERRE FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020. WHOS GONNA SECOND THE ENDORSEMENT? CMON WAYNE PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS AND RUN FOR PRESIDENT WHEN TRUMPS' TENYEAR COMES UP NEXT YEAR.
