Trump also hates the Second Amendment, and would go out of his way to deliberately violate the rights of all Americans just to exact his sick and twisted revenge against the Second Amendment. You are aware that Trump wants to intentionally violate our Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments in order illegally seize firearms, right?
Trump is a direct threat to the Second Amendment as much, if not more, than Obama ever was.
As soon as he took office, Mr. Trump signed legislation to outlaw Mr. Obama's scheme to violate people's Second Amendment rights by falsely accusing them of insanity.
Mr. Trump appoints judges and justices who vote to uphold the Second Amendment instead of voting to ignore it.
Mr. Trump has never done anything to violate the Second Amendment.
Mr. Biden will do everything he can to try to violate the Second Amendment for no reason.
Mr. Biden will appoint judges and justices who will vote to ignore the Second Amendment instead of enforcing it.

Just how did President Obama violate the 2nd amendment 'for no reason'???
I said he tried and the NRA stopped him. I didn't say he succeeded.
Facts, not opinion on how Biden will 'do his best' to violate the 2nd A????
The same way Mr. Obama tried: by trying to outlaw pistol grips on semi-auto long guns for no reason.
The NRA stopped nothing, I was a member for longer than I wanted to be- shot F-Class and held an NRA rating, signed postal matches for several shooters- the NRA trilled on and on about jack booted thugs if Obama was elected/was re-elected. The ILA/NRA failed miserably both times.
That is incorrect. Mr. Obama spent the entire first hundred days of his second term trying to outlaw pistol grips on semi-auto long guns for no reason.
The NRA stopped him cold, and that resulted in Mr. Obama not achieving any legislative victories during his second term.
Mr. Obama's failed presidency is the reason why the voters wanted a change and elected Mr. Trump in 2016.
You have given ZERO hard facts, the Cons have rejected reality and substituted their own....
eace
That is incorrect. It is a fact that Mr. Obama spent the entire first hundred days of his second term trying to outlaw pistol grips on semi-auto long guns for no reason.
It is a fact that the NRA stopped him cold and destroyed his presidency in the process.

Target shooting, for one. "Target shooting" is listed in the very first paragraph of the Gun Control Act of 1968 as a lawful use of firearms.
The trouble is, people can target shoot with any sort of weapon, so target shooting isn't really a useful measuring stick for determining what weapons are appropriate for civilians.
Congress might claim that, but the Executive Branch doesn't have the enumerated power to make a law. Bump stocks enable bump fire. Period. Bump fire is not illegal.
Eliminating bump stocks with a law would have given the Democrats the opportunity to pass a bunch of other gun control laws at the same time.
The NRA preferred doing it with an executive order so as to not give the Democrats any opportunities to pass unconstitutional gun laws.
Boy, you really don't want to give the Democrats the key to that Pandora's Box. Anyway, Constitutionally, that doesn't matter.
The courts use Strict Scrutiny to determine whether a restriction of a fundamental right is permissible.
The degree of danger that a weapon poses is a factor in whether the government has a compelling interest in restricting access to it.
I disagree. The NRA no longer has the power to stop Joe Biden's plans if the Democrats take both Houses and the White House. We'll be dependent upon flip-flop Roberts, and that's something we would be very afraid of.
If the Democrats take total control of the government, that would be pretty bad, but the NRA would still be able to bully House Democrats in conservative districts, and NRA-friendly politicians could mount a filibuster in the Senate.
It's definitely important to get out and vote for Republicans on election day however.
During an exchange with CBS News' Nancy Cordes, Pelosi suggested that Republicans might feel such a ban would be a "slippery slope" for other gun bills. "So what?" she said, adding, "I certainly hope so."
This is why the NRA wanted to prohibit bump stocks with an executive order instead of with legislation.
