Five Fast Gun Reforms President Trump Will Sign Into Law http://flip.it/hS.kV_Here are five fast gun law reforms President Trump and his Republican House and Senate can make. Ending Gun-Free Zones On Military Bases President Trump will have the authority to executive authority to pass an executive order allowing the United States military to carry firearms on duty. Our domestic military bases and facilities have been the site of numerous terror attacks and mass shootings. Trump can reverse that with the stroke of a pen. He would also apparently have the authority to end firearm bans on other federal property, but there are so many laws and regulations that I don’t want to make that claim prematurely. National Concealed Carry Reciprocity There is significant momentum towards establishing national concealed carry reciprocity in all 50 states. President Trump, working with a Republican-controlled House and Senate, should be able to get this passed into law within the first 90 days. There are four different bills to choose from in the House and Senate. Legalizing Silencers Making a hearing safety device criminal was one of the dumbest things ever done under the Administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt… and that’s saying a lot. The Hearing Protection Act is already written and has co-sponsors. It should be passed within the first 60 days of President Trump’s administration, which is a blessing to high-volume shooters such as myself who would like to better protect our hearing. NICS Background Check Reform Gun control supporters want a “universal” background checks on all gun purchases in order to create a de facto gun registry… and that’s just not going to happen. What is going to happen is that President Trump, the House, and Senate are going to work on legislation to close the gaping holes in the existing background check system so that it is more effective, ensuring better and more accurate updating of prohibited persons. This will likely run in conjunction with mental health reform to both help people in crisis obtain the help they need, and ensure that fears of losing their Second Amendment rights won’t keep people from seeking help for a temporary but important mental health crisis. Allow Importation of Collectable Historical Firearms President Obama has stymied the importation of historically significant firearms provided to allies after the Second World War and the Korean War through executive orders. The Collectible Firearms Protection Act will allow the reimportation of hundreds of thousand of M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, and M1911 pistols. These are five laws that a Republican Congress and President Trump can pass within the first 90-180 days, but they are not the only laws being considered.

I think he covered some of this in his 2nd Amendment statement yesterday.

If Trump clubs some sensible legislation into existence he'll be a good, even great president. I don't have that much confidence in him, but a Republican controlled house/senate should provide some guidance.

Trump owes the NRA and gun owners now, big time.
The cited post is his 100 day ambition. I expect to see much deeper gun protections enacted, and gun control repealed. I am so ********* excited. A dream come true.
Now he has a gun friendly majority in Senate, House, judicial appointments across the nation, and the SCOTUS majority. Might be a wide majority if likely seats open.

I would very much like to see the incoming administration address the abuses perpetrated against gun owners by the Social Security Admin and the VA. Especially the VA.

Is this what you would like to see? Or is this something he or somebody in his circle has said is on the agenda?
It would also be nice if we could start importing SKS's again.

Just what I would like to see. I did hear of a bill some time back to address the VA problem. At that time of course Obummer would have vetoed it. Now maybe it will gain traction. Nothing burns my shorts more that seeing vets have their gun rights taken away just because they have someone else assisting them with their finances. On a positive note, if import restrictions were eased under Trump we could be seeing a new golden age of firearms collecting. Ya buddy !

The reciprocity will be a hot issue with the states. And are we to accept the lowest common denominator restrictions of each state (eg mag capacity etc)?
This is just impractical, the way states have already made a ton of laws. There are age differences where concealed carry licenses are issued, and many states that are may issue. Should the federal government have the power to override the law of a state?
Let's say my permit is now good in CA, but the people who live in CA can't get a permit without a "good reason"..... doesn't make sense. So it means overturning "may issue" in every state. I don't see that happening.
On the NICS improvements: it would be great to see some specifics here.... just saying making it "better" sounds like more Trump-isms.

By that reasoning, your drivers license is no good in Califucknia. Congress made a law requiring every state accept other states driver licenses. Congress can fix this problem.

ANZAC wrote: The reciprocity will be a hot issue with the states. . . . Should the federal government have the power to override the law of a state? If the feds have the constitutional authority, then yes, of course. All of the federal constitutional amendments override state laws that violate them, do they not? I think the 2A is clearly intended to restrict government at all levels from infringing upon the Peoples' right to keep and bear arms. I can't imagine the Founders intended anything different. The 2A should be the justification for repealing carry permit requirements in the same way that the other amendments forbid the States from violating rights of free speech, religion, due process, etc. ANZAC wrote: This is just impractical, the way states have already made a ton of laws. And this will be the reason that nationwide concealed carry reciprocity will fail; it will try to preserve some state carry laws, and the result will be a legal nightmare. The real answer is not reciprocity, but rather nationwide constitutional carry. In other words, the feds need to use the 2A to strike down all state laws requiring permits to carry. Anything less than that will simply not work. But, more importantly, anything less than that is a constitutional infringement. ANZAC wrote: I don't see that happening. Unfortunately, neither do I. But if there was ever a chance of it happening, it will be in Trump's first 2 years after he makes his first SCOTUS appointment.

By that reasoning, your drivers license is no good in Califucknia. Congress made a law requiring every state accept other states driver licenses. Congress can fix this problem. There were no substantive differences between state driving laws, licenses were issued to anyone who could pass a test. There were no situations where an out of state resident could be licensed to drive where an in-state resident would be prohibited from obtaining a license. Some states have pretty severe carry/firearm restrictions. How do you propose they address the inequity, that a out of state CPL would be ok, but someone in state is subject to may-issue laws? The only possible fair solution would be to roll back may-issue as part of the same change, which I am sure a lot of states would take very strong objection to.
