Time and again Clinton openly admitted her disagreement with Hellerand her plan to use SCOTUS to tweak or reverse itwhile simultaneouslypushing enough gun control to abolish the Second Amendment. Trump took the opposite position: vowing to defend Heller with SCOTUS justices in the mold of Justice Scalia and to maintain the Second Amendment in its strongest form.

Clinton promised universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, a high capacity magazine ban, and numerous other gun controls. Trump promised to save the Second Amendment from people like Hillary Clinton. And he voiced direct opposition to expanding background checks or instituting assault weapon or high capacity magazine bans.

Clinton raged against weapons of war after a gunman opened fire on innocents in the Orlando Pulse nightclub. Trumps consistent message was that Americans ought to be able to own the firearm of their choice and that gun-free zones pose a threat by disarming citizens.

Throughout the race for the White House, Clinton made clear that she did not agree with the Heller rulinga ruling which reaffirmed that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right. And during a June 5, 2016, appearance on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, she twice refused to admit that an individual right to keep and bear arms was even constitutional. After being pressed by Stephanopoulos, she would only say that if such a right existed, it was not outside the purview of government regulation.

Her exact words:

I think that for most of our history there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment, until the decision by the late Justice [Antonin] Scalia. And there was no argument until then that localities, and states, and the federal government had a rightas we do with every amendmentto impose reasonable regulations.

She clearly missed the part about shall not be infringed. But Trump did not miss it, as he vowed again and again to stand with the NRA and save the Second Amendment.

Just says before the election, Rudy Giuliani stood behind a podium in Reno, Nevada, and said:

If you elect Donald Trump you will preserve your Second Amendment right to bear arms. If you elect Hillary Clinton, she will appoint one judge and then two, and they will take it away from you, and a lot of your other rights.

In the end, the people saw it the way Giuliani did. And they voted to save their Second Amendmentand the Heller decisionby choosing Trump over Clinton during a historic November 8 election.

Americans Vote To Preserve Heller, Second Amendment

It is odd that federal entities seem to find certain libertieslike the right to bear armsless inalienable than others. I will continue to guard the constitutional rights of all Americans against groups that would undermine them, and I look forward to seeing due process restored in the question of veterans Second Amendment rights.

WASHINGTONCongressman Doug Collins (R-Ga.) voted today to support H.R. 1181, TheVeterans Second Amendment Protection Act, to guard veterans right to bear arms and to due process under the law.

Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) labels veterans as mentally defective if they receive assistance from an appointed fiduciary. In the VA system, attaching this label to a veteran sends his or her name to the FBIs National InstantCriminal Background Check System (NICS). Inclusion on the NICS list prohibits an individual from buying or possessing a gun. Under the VAs system, individuals can be added to the system without any judicial determination,meaning veterans are deprivedof their Second Amendment rights without due process.

As a military chaplain, I find it disheartening that the VA allows bureaucrats to make determinations about a veterans constitutional right under the pretext of mental health care. Under the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, a judicial determinationrather than a bureaucratic labelwould be necessary to report a veterans name to NICS, said Collins.

It is odd that federal entities seem to find certain libertieslike the right to bear armsless inalienable than others. I will continue to guard the constitutional rights of all Americans against groups that would undermine them, and I look forward to seeing due process restored in the question of veterans Second Amendment rights.

Collins also cosponsored a similar piece of legislation, H.J.Res. 40, a joint resolution of disapproval of the Social Security Administrationsimplementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007, which effectively denied millions of Social Security recipients their Second and Fourth Amendment rights. President Trump signed this resolution into law last month.

House passes Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act - The Denver Channel

Anytime this country takes even one step closer to its founding as a constitutional republic, its time to celebrate.

In 1973, under Richard Nixon the president who considered guns an abomination legislation was passed banning guns on the millions of acres of countryside under the watchful eye of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This means no one is allowed to carry a gun for protection on that land if theyre just camping or hiking. (This is true even though hunting is allowed on some of those acres!)

However, that may soon change thanks to a 2014 lawsuit, Nesbitt v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which challenged the anti-gun regulation. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill, a Clinton appointee, ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in his decision:

[T]his complete ban goes beyond merely burdening Second Amendment rights but destroys those rights for law-abiding citizens carrying operable firearms for the lawful purpose of self-defense.

Of course, the equally anti-gun Obama administration appealed Winmills ruling. Just as the Court was about to consider it the Corps asked to be taken off the calendar. They are actually reconsidering theirpolicy, according to The Washington Post:

TheArmy Corps of Engineers is reconsidering the firearms policy challenged in this case, as well as plaintiffs requests for permission to carry firearms on Army Corps property. This reconsideration has the potential to fully resolve plaintiffs objections.

This is as it should be. The Second Amendment guarantees American citizens the right to protect their person and property at all times. Any regulation which denies that inalienable right, is in direct violation of our founding document. End of story.
