Candidate Trump made a lot of pro 2A comments. President Trump is a gun banner at heart, but he was and will continue to be the lesser of evils. View Quote It's that whole #gottasupporttheteam mindset-Make excuses/justifications/defenses/counter accusations when our side passes gun control (or increase spending,expands the size of gov.,etc..) and bitch about the left doing it. What is this long term plan of lesser evil each time going to give us? |

Would be nice if he actually did something pro 2a. So far he has done nothing.

If you can't primary a more pro gun candidate, do you vote for Trump or (fill in the blank - Harris, Warren, Biden, etc)? I get it. It's a slow burn and the only hope is a pro gun electable candidate will emerge for '24. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The republicans only represents the wealthiest Americans. Us regular folk just get tied to the party because we support a strong military, small government, reductions in spending, and the 2A.

I can only affect those around me,and have no sway over the rest of the state or country,and when the majority doesn't want smaller government,less spending,and an original 2nd Amendment,those of us that do are screwed. |

Can anyone name a single republican POTUS who did a damn thing for us to restore any of rights?
