Gun control was an uphill climb in Congress well before Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
But now that Trump is less than a month away from taking the oath of office, that climb arguably has turned into vertical scaling of a sheer rock face with rope and harness.
Trump benefited from the National Rifle Association’s endorsement and airing of televised ads that characterized Democrat Hillary Clinton as a threat to Second Amendment rights.
Ed.: Inauguration is actually January 20th, almost two months away. |

"But now that Trump is less than a month away from taking the oath of office .... "
Has inaugaration day been moved from Jan. 20th until Dec. 20th? Or has someone forgot how to count?
Are the other facts in the story equally questionable?
Our vaunted press in action ........... *sigh*. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
