Donald Trump Jr. @ SilencerCo

[Sam1]

Just ran across this video (from September so not sure if it has been shared here or not).  Thought it was appropriate after seeing the HPA pop up in the news today.

Ok, I did not watch it, but not sure a silver spoon kid is the one I want running the push to allow these back as open sales

Been watching it. It's a good interview. Donald Jr. is a legit 2A supporter and shoots weekly competitions.

What difference does it make how much money he has?  He's a gun enthusiast who happens to be the President's son.  What could be better?

Call it the chip on my shoulder, but guys that have trust funds that exceed every penny my Dad has ever made just turn me off. He may love guns and be a great lobbyist, but often they live in a whole different world up there in the clouds. Maybe it is closer to where the Senators live.

I dunno call it my problem. No one else has to agree.

You should probably listen to what he says before making that assumption.

Sounds like envy to me. If he were broke, how would that improve your life?

I will just end my comments on this saying, if you lived my life, had seen what I had seen, and endured what I have endured, then you would be a much better person than me to not feel the way I do. Or maybe I am just an a$$hole at heart.

I'm listening anytime you'd like to share. If not, that's o.k. as well. My personal experience has been that it is better to formulate and execute a plan to put myself in the position I want to be in, rather than wasting my energy and time worrying about what someone else has.

Trump Jr. has his dad's ear when it comes to influencing firearms legislation that comes across his desk from Congress.  He might also know some key folks in Congress to get this sort of bill passed.  I'd say from a gun rights prospective we are fortunate that Trump as elected and that Congress is majority republican with a few pro gun Democrats mixed in.  

We have never in recent history had an openly pro 2nd amendment rights president.  Little Bush was lukewarm at best to gun rights bills as president and so was Congress when he was president.  We know about Bill Clinton and we know about Obama.

I don't ever remember hearing a presidential candidate or actual president openly supporting gun rights like Trump did during his campaign and even suggesting that people should arm themselves for protection.   Did Bush, Clinton, Obama, or the ones before them ever make such suggestions openly?  Not that I can remember.  This is a first that we should take advantage of for gun rights.

If Trump Jr. only cared about his own gun rights, he probably could quietly get his dad to appoint him as a us marshal or white house policeman and be able to carry anywhere and use whatever toys the feds have.

It sure would tickle my fancy if this got through this session of Congress. With all the attempts made by the left to ram AWB 2.0 through while dancing in the blood of victims of crazy people and getting nada through for 8 years.
