President Donald Trump called on his audience at a National Rifle Association convention today to get out and vote in the November election, warning that “your Second Amendment rights are under siege.”
He’s right on that point. Anti-gun types, habitually Democrats, have become bolder than any time in recent memory when proposing everything from mandatory confiscation of certain types of rifles to the outright repeal of the Second Amendment.
But what Trump didn’t mention is that his own administration is doing its part to whittle away at Americans’ Second Amendment rights. With the exception of Trump’s judicial appointments—they appear to typically be sound on gun rights—this is, sadly, not a White House that has proven itself to be a reliable champion of American gun owners, writes Declan McCullagh.
