    FWIW, trump was known to have a carry permit in NYC, which is nearly impossible for the average citizen to get, and it should be no surprise that there were allegations that he wasn’t properly vetted for it and there were some shady favors going in in the background in order for him to get it. Whether he ever actually ever carried is up for debate, although he claimed to, because he “likes to be unpredictable” but of course that’s his words, so who’s to say what they’re worth.

    His sons were also known to go on big game trophy hunting trips to Africa, so there’s definitely some ammount of Trump family gun culture, although I vaguely remember seeing an article that I’m too lazy to track down now where Trump said he didn’t really see the appeal of hunting, so who knows how much trump ever thought about guns.

    I agree he was probably only interested in this one because it had his face on it.

      Imagine asking a person why they carry a firearm on them and their reply is, “I like to be predictable.” Like holy shit, red flag.

      Now imagine that person became the President of the US.
