There is a good article at The Resurgent, “Trump Will Disappoint Everyone<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Excerpt from the gun stuff:<\/p>\n

“… Trump got an early endorsement from the NRA<\/a> and is widely seen as a friend to gun owners. But in reality, it\u2019s not a terribly high priority for him … Speeding up background checks, holding the line on awful \u201cno fly no buy\u201d laws, and generally supporting self-defense use of firearms is about the best we can hope for, and most of that is through the courts and congress. It\u2019s not going to be a high priority\u2013but hooray: it\u2019s not Hillary<\/a> …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can see Trump<\/a> signing the reciprocity bill<\/a> as payback for the endorsement, but that will require him and Mitch McConnell<\/a> standing up to Chuck Schumer<\/a>.\u00a0 I don’t see him going all out for suppressors<\/a>\u00a0 and definitely not attacking the Hughes Amendment<\/a>.<\/p>\n
