“The Constitution of the United States is clear,” Trump said in a statement to the Post. “The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Period. … Through the process of national gun registering, lawful gun owners will have their privacy invaded and will place information in the hands of government officials that could be easily abused.”
So the Second Amendment trumps safety and security concerns when it comes to registering guns but singling out certain Americans and refugees because of their religion for tracking and spying on houses of worship doesn’t raise any First Amendment issues? Does he believe a religious-based registry could never lend itself to any kind of abuse? |

| Owning or carrying a fire arm for your own protection and to prevent dictator governments is what the second Amendment is about. Anyone that believes registration is a safety concern is a MORON! Registration has always been a prelude to ultimate goal of confiscation. This has always lead to increased crime rates, especially MURDER. How is that an improvement on safety? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
