"I interviewed the real estate mogul in Florida during the Republican convention in late August and asked him about his gun ownership. “I have a carry permit - I’ve said that publicly,” he told me. “I own a couple of different guns, but I don’t talk about it.”
I mentioned that I bought a Sig Sauer P229 in 9mm last February. The billionaire’s director of security, Keith Schiller, who was protecting him on the trip, said that he also owned a Sig. We discussed the function and fit and styles. The gun owners’ friendly conversation seemed to give Mr .Trump the comfort to give out details on his gun collection.
The star of “Celebrity Apprentice” said he owns a “H&K .45 and a .38 Smith & Wesson.” "
Gotcha. LaPierre is not a gun guy? I didn’t know that. Interesting. Maybe why it was easier for him to allow the infringement of rights at the convention?
“Trump received a concealed-carry permit from New York City and owns handguns, according to a 2012 interview with the Washington Times, but he hasn’t emphasized it since taking office.”
Trump was a Democrat for most of his life. He has shown us a few times that he possess the traditional Democrat hubris of the big government solutions guy. So I’m not surprised when I hear him make comments like these.
Hell, he was and still is good friends with the Clintons, all that lock her up stuff during the campaign was designed to do exactly what it accomplished which was to appear opposite to Hillary and stir up the base.
There is a reason why she isn’t being prosecuted for the whole email thing.
