Donald Trump announced this morning that he plans to meet with the National Rifle Association to voice support for a restriction on the ability of people on the FBI’s terrorist watch list or the no-fly list to purchase firearms.
Don’t be fooled, Donald Trump has made his position on firearm restrictions explicitly clear. During the January Republican debate in North Charleston, South Carolina, moderator Maria Bartiromo asked Trump, “Are there any circumstances that you think we should be limiting gun sales of any kind in America?” Trump answered succinctly, “No.”
Trump is simply trying to exploit a popular position in the wake of unspeakable tragedy. Trump is proud of his NRA endorsement; Trump and the NRA truly deserve each other.
