I don't see what he's done. It's possible I missed it.
Me too. :headscratch

Trump may do "a lot for gun owners" some day, but so far I don't see what he's done in that area.

"President Obama Proposes Sweeping Changes to Gun Control
In response to recent massacres, including the killing of 20 first graders in Newtown, Conn., and 12 moviegoers in Aurora, Colo., President Barack Obama introduces proposals to tighten gun-control laws. His plan includes universal background checks for gun sales, the reinstatement and strengthening of the assault weapons ban, limiting ammunition magazines to a 10-round capacity, and other measures."

So far, doing nothing is just fine. I can wait. Let's get a good Supreme Court justice in. The alternative to Trump was pretty bad. I'm happy to coast awhile and let ammo prices improve. Hope to see National Reprocity bills passed and signed. Which he said he would do. With Hil they would be DOA.

Actually it was a point conceded. To tell the truth I didn't even know about the 2 Obama restrictions were put on. The thing is that the COE and Post Office traps are onerous traps that potentially send the unwary to prison.

Reagan banned automatic Weapons, Bush Sr. Banned semi-autos from coming into the country, and Joined with Gabby Gifford on a gun control tour. Bill Clinton who claimed he would defend gun rights gave us the famous assault weapons ban .. Bush Jr., when he ran for president, claimed to be a 2nd amendment advocate, but promised to renew Bill Clinton's AWB if it came to his desk.

When it comes to gun rights we have been screwed over by every president since LBJ except maybe Nixon Ford and the peanut farmer. I remain skeptical. The born and raised New Yorker wrote in his book in 2000 The America We Deserve , “I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun,” He is if nothing else flexible on his stand.
He once claimed that he could shoot a man out in the open on Main Street and his supporters would still support him. I just want him to do what is right, and for us gun owners to remind him that he has more work to do. Yes, the chines trade agreements are important, so is the Mexican Border. Being able to go to our own parks and Post offices safely is important too and much simpler to fix.

And now for the latest scandal!:

TRUMP IS ALREADY DESTROYING ARIZONA ECONOMY


TRUMP could destroy the local AZ economies. Illegal immigrants are boycotting Arizona by the thousands and moving elsewhere showing their outrage with Donald Trump's proposed law of sending illegal immigrants back to their native countries.

In the small town of Guadalupe, AZ, south of Phoenix, Manuel Renaldo is one of those who are vowing to punish Arizona by leaving. As he loaded his stolen car with his taxpayer-furnished belongings and family of ten, Renaldo told this reporter through an interpreter: "It's a matter of principle; I refuse to be supported by a state that treats me like a criminal!"

The effects of the exodus are already being felt by some Arizona retailers, who are reporting dwindling thefts & sales of beer, tequila, spray paint, and ammunition. Also hit hard are the state hospitals, which have reported a dramatic decline in births and emergency room visits of non-revenue patients!.

State welfare agencies are preparing to lay off staffs that distribute food stamps and unemployment benefits. Tattoo parlors are in an absolute state of panic!

Renaldo told a reporter, through an interpreter, that he and his family are moving to Canada, with a new Liberal government under Justin Trudeau and new higher taxes and hardworking people who will better support him and his family with dignity!

Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

The post office "trap" doesn't send anyone to prison, nor does it have the ability to, since violating the regulation in question is a Federal "infraction" similar to running a red light in DC. While it's theoretically possible to be sentenced to 30 days on a Federal infraction, it hasn't happened that I'm aware of.

Trump surprises first White House tour group. High fives and fist bumps with the President.

Bets on whether this will be mentioned in the news tonight?

As far as MSM goes, I bet it never happened unless it it reported Trump was punching and slapping tourists.
