Future of guns in America

That was another promise / stance to get votes.

He's a business man. A smart business person gauges options to see what benefits them and their business investments. Should a bill come across his desk that would be in his best interest. Rest assured he would sign it.

Exactly.

He will do whatever he needs if it benefits him in the long run.

If he has nothing to gain I doubt it will interest him enough to do anything.

While it's all fun and games to hope and dream I don't see anything to do with firearms, the ATF, or whatever really making his priority list since he has nothing to gain from it.

Someone send him a letter and tell him to buy ownership stakes in Silencer Shop or a suppressor manufacturer and then ram a bill through Congress that removes them from NFA? Sure it's a little underhanded, but I could see him going for it.

Just give him shares in a silencer business.

Nobody knows whats going to happen. All we can do is wait and see what does happen. The only constant is that people freak out over the littlest things and start hoarding stuff excessively way too easily.

If Trump is true to his 'business man' label, I don't see him getting interested in anything like gun laws for a while. He'll be more interested in getting the gears of American business turning, i.e. lower taxes, fewer regulatory curbs, etc. Now is the time to fix the fundamentals since the results won't happen overnight.

I agree, but if congress can get something like the HPA in front of him it's a way to say 'I'm the more pro 2nd pres in decades' without most liberals even realizing what changed.

Trump has a history of being loyal to those that are loyal to him. The NRA and pro gun folk were very loyal to The Donald and as such his past performance shows that he's likely to be loyal back.

Add to that the fact that I think his two oldest sons are about as pro gun as most of us here and they'll constantly have his ear.

So I'm cautiously optimistic.

He might not have any interest in 2A issues, but his creation of a 62-person "second amendment coalition" sure as hell isn't a bad thing...

That list! Wow! I recognize a few names on there and I think this is going in the right direction.

I don't think we've ever had a President start an advocacy group for the Second Amendment (at least not in my lifetime).

Kind of ruined it for me at this:

gun manufacturers like Jesse James
