Gun laws: Trump promised to defend the Second Amendment. A 57 percent majority in a Post-ABC poll released Sunday said they want the next president to support stricter gun-control laws, while 39 percent wanted a president who opposes them. The margin is opposite among Republicans, among whom two-thirds want the next president to oppose stricter gun laws.
But Trump has also mentioned that some recent terrorist acts could have been tempered if people being attacked were also armed. In June , 54 percent supported encouraging more Americans to carry guns legally for use in self-defense. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
