And how gun friendly is Trump! Interesting article in this week's British 'Shooting Times' magazine. In 2008 he was trying to get permission to build one of his golf courses in Scotland on what was wildfowl shooting land by the coast. At a public enquiry he stated his opposition to the shooting taking place claiming that 25,000 birds were shot each year there (total made up nonsense). Quote, his words at the enquiry; 'When you are on site right now, it's sort of disgusting. There are dead animals all over the site that have been shot. There are some people who are into that. I am not.'

He may not be so gun friendly if he wants to build one of his golf complexes on what is currently a shooting range. Hope I am wrong. Lagopus.....

Just be happy it wasn't a gold plated shopping mall.

I suppose being a businessman he will say what he wants to get what he wants.

Now when Obama visited Britain he showed he was pro-gun by bringing loads of his friends over who were armed to the teeth. They thought so much of him they followed him everywhere. :-) Lagopus.....

Here's a link to a recent interview with Donald Trump by Chris Cox of the NRA-Institute For Legislative Action:

I think we'll be just fine with Donald Trump at the helm. I also think we all know that Hillary Clinton intended to come after our gun rights. We know because she came right out and said it and posted it on her campaign website. I certainly have no remorse for my vote for Trump. And I believe that he is smart enough to know that if he turned on us, he would certainly be a one term President.

So close to the election, this story was already in the pipeline. I doubt it would have mattered much here, but the magazine might be owed a bit of appreciation. Normally, these types of stories are intended to undermine candidates, not publish footnotes after decisions are made. At this point, if true, good for the magazine for taking the high road and getting political. Hopefully, they have a similar policy with vetting your candidates before elections. It's an interesting thing if the environmentalists don't have anything to say about paving over wetlands.

Hillary stated her "Crowning Achievement" (My words, I forget the exact term she used) was when She made Enemies of the NRA. Absolutely No Doubt where she stood on gun ownership. She had also stated the Supreme court was "Wrong" when they ruled the 2nd amendment was an individual right. Had she won she obviously would have "Stacked" the Supreme Court with liberals who are more interested in "Legislating from the Bench" than interpreting the Constitution. As soon as she got the needed majority we no doubt would have had some other suit filed in which the Supreme Court would have ruled & overturned that previous decision.
Hopefully Trump will live up to his promises to us. We have Absolutely no Doubt Hillary would have lived up to her promises, & that was to "DISARM" American Citizens.

Most Americans do not understand that unless billionaire gets his/her income from making guns, ammunition or components he/she has zero interest in poor people being armed. I voted for him only because I found Hillary Clinton to be less acceptable alternative. I did not believe in anything that was mentioned during the campaign.

I think plenty of environmentalists (including hunters, who were environmentalists before anyone had ever heard the term) say plenty when there are plans to pave over wetlands. Concerns about paving over a wetland here in Iowa not so long ago resulted in a highway being routed around the wetland. And since it was a particularly unique wetland, the state bought it from the private owner, thus preserving and protecting it for the future.

He doesn't really care much about hunting and is probably opposed to it. However his sons are into hunting so he won't say much about it.

But the 2nd amendment isn't about hunting its about gun ownership for any reason you want. And President Trump understands that, that's good enough for me.

You got that right. We All best well believe the "Anti's" know it too. They are trying to appease the hunters until they break the 2nd amendment. After that they can take what-so-ever their little hearts Desire. When it becomes a Privilege & not a Right, all is Lost.
