As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases. President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed. They will be able to defend themselves against terrorists. Our brave soldiers should not be at risk because of policy created by civilian leadership. Political correctness has no place in this debate.” [Ammoland, 7/7/15] NRA 1999: TRUMP SAID HE DIDN’T “AGREE ENTIRELY” WITH THE NRA Trump In 1999: “I Don’t Agree Entirely” With The NRA.

Then The Donald, ever the populist, said while he generally opposed gun control, he slammed Republicans for not wanting registrations on guns and said he wished nobody had guns. … ‘The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s internet technology we should be able to tell within 72 hours if a potential gun owner has a record.’” [Buzzfeed, 10/5/15] MASS SHOOTINGS TRUMP REPEATEDLY CLAIMED THAT IF VICTIMS HAD GUNS, ATTACKS WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS SEVERE 2015: Donald Trump Said That If More People Had Guns During The Mass Shooting At An Oregon Community College, “You Would Have Been A Hell Of A Lot Better Off.” “Donald Trump is a big supporter of gun rights.
