Pastiche:
Billionaire businessman and presidential candidate Donald Trump always
speaks in vague generalities and does not offer specifics about where he stands
on the issues.
There is however one exception and that is his stance on gun
rights and the Second Amendment, as Trump just released his official policy position on his
campaign website.
“The Second Amendment to our Constitution is
clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed
upon. Period,” the position paper began.Trump went on attempting to convince people of
how the government should not be able to take away this right since it has not
been created by the government in the first place and nor can it be taken away
by it. Describing the Second Amendment as “America’s first
freedom,” Trump, used the argument that it helps protect the entirety of rights
we currently have.
Instead of
adding new gun control laws, Trump proposed tougher enforcement of laws that
are already on the books which are supposedly going to protect and defend that
right.
Moreover,
instead of reducing the probability of gun attacks taking place by limiting the
access to guns, Trump relies on the reduction in these attacks by sentencing gun
criminals to mandatory minimum five-year sentences in federal prison, noting
that crime rates are supposedly going to fall dramatically when criminals are
taken off the streets for lengthy periods of time.
Trump also
proposed strengthening and expanding laws allowing law-abiding gun owners to
defend themselves from criminals using their own guns, without fear of
repercussion from the government.
Nevertheless,
Trump blames the recent shootings on clear mental problems that should have
been addressed, and proposes fixing our nation’s broken mental health system by increasing treatment
opportunities for the non-violent mentally ill, but removing from the streets those people who pose a danger to themselves and
others, overall refusing the idea of gun and magazine bans which are deemed by
him as being ineffective.
Not
only are these bans not going to be established but Trump proposed as well a
national right to carry, a national concealed carry reciprocity law that would
compel states to recognize the concealed carry permits of any other state, as
if the right to carry a gun would be equal to the right of holding a driver’s
license which would be accepted by all states.
