President Donald Trump will deliver a strong sign of support for the National Rifle Association at its annual meeting on Friday, as gun-rights advocates regroup in the wake of the mass shooting at a Florida high school.
Trump’s address in Dallas will be his fourth in a row to the group’s annual convention. “You came through for me and I am going to come through for you,” he said at last year’s gathering in Atlanta. The NRA spent $30 million in support of Trump’s 2016 campaign, lending him credibility with some conservatives. |

“Take the guns first, go through due process second.”
Which is a blatant violation of the 5th Amendment.
Apparently, his legal counsel appraised him of that fact, and he backed off.
Good on him. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
