How does this sound to you: President-elect Donald J. Trump?<\/p>\n

Woot! Woot! He won! I can\u2019t believe it but he won! He defeated the mighty Clinton machine!<\/p>\n

This is truly historic. Trump pulled off the ultimate upset despite a rocky campaign, subpar debate performances, an adversarial media, a seasoned, well-heeled opponent and a Billy Bush hot mic incident<\/a> that would have sunk almost any other politician known to man. Crazy!<\/p>\n

Today is a great day for the Second Amendment. For the first time in eight years, the person to be sitting in the oval office doesn\u2019t harbor a hostility toward one\u2019s right to keep and bear arms. Amazing!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be the first to admit that Trump wasn\u2019t my first choice<\/a> but when it came down to brass tacks he was the only choice. Hillary Clinton is an unrepentant criminal, a pathological liar and an existential threat to the Second Amendment. I really hope that Trump prosecutes her to the fullest extent of the law for deliberately mishandling classified material.<\/p>\n

Anyways, the gun industry is celebrating this victory. In a statement, the nation\u2019s gun lobby congratulated \u201cThe Don.\u201d<\/p>\n

“On behalf of the National Rifle Association\u2019s (NRA) five million members and tens of millions of Second Amendment supporters, the NRA congratulates President-elect Trump on his hard fought victory,\u201d said Chris Cos, the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) executive director.<\/p>\n

“Voters sent a loud and clear message that our gun rights are not for sale. Despite the unprecedented efforts by New York City billionaire Michael Bloomberg and the gun control lobby, the Second Amendment prevailed,\u201d continued Cox.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the face of threats against their constitutional freedoms, NRA members and Second Amendment supporters rallied to elect a pro-gun president,\u201d said Cox. \u201cTrump\u2019s victory repudiates the assertion by gun control advocates that the political calculus regarding the Second Amendment has changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights, echoed the NRA in that Trump\u2019s victory is a repudiation of the anti-gun agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a slap in the face to virtually every know-it-all gun grabber in Washington,\u201d stated Brown \u201cA flat out rejection of President Obama\u2019s gun control policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, also commented on the win for the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American people have spoken,\u201d said the NSSF in a statement. \u201cWe have elected a president who has pledged to protect our Constitutional rights and a majority of both houses of Congress that will work to ensure that our individual right to keep and bear arms will be preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, everyone is celebrating. Everyone is happy. Rightfully so. But I feel like looking ahead a bit and from what I see there are several pros and cons to a Trump presidency. It\u2019s not all rainbows and butterflies.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/h2>\n

Trump To Appoint Supreme Court Justices<\/h2>\n

This is huge! And arguably the biggest pro to a Trump win because president\u2019s come and go but Supreme Court Justices span generations. With conservative justices on the bench, we can rest assured that landmark decision\u2019s like Heller<\/em>, which affirmed one\u2019s individual right to keep and bear arms, is safe for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Pro-Gun Laws Will Meet a Pro-Gun President<\/h2>\n

Trump has vowed to protect and preserve the Second Amendment. In doing so, he also has the opportunity to expand gun rights at the national level. Something that Obama flirted with in his first term when he signed a law expanding carry rights into government parks. Obama ultimately, as we all know, dropped his tepid pro-gun facade in his second term and unleashed his anti-gun agenda. Trump, on the other hand, may have a chance to sign a national concealed carry reciprocity bill into law or even a bill that removes suppressors from the NFA (National Firearms Act). \u00a0And who knows, his “love affair” with Putin might impel him to lift the Obama sanctions that prevent the importation of all those Russian-made AKs!<\/p>\n

Death of Assault Weapons Ban<\/h2>\n

Hillary Clinton wanted to follow in her husband’s footsteps and ban black rifles. Since she will not be occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., we no longer have to worry about a ban on \u201cassault weapons,\u201d at least at the national level. With no ban in place, more and more folks will have the opportunity to discover modern sporting rifles and hopefully, in the process of shooting these awesome firearms, get bit by the gun bug.<\/p>\n

Cons<\/h2>\n

Obama Was Greatest Gun Salesman of All Time<\/h2>\n

The industry\u2019s dirty little secret is that as much as it hated president Obama, it loved him as well because he sold more firearms than any other president in history. Some referred to it as \u201cfear-buying\u201d others simply said that Obama \u201ccreated urgency in the marketplace,\u201d but either way because of Obama a lot of people made a lot of money in the gun biz from 2008-2016. It stands to reason that Trump will not have the same effect on the market. Which raises the question, could the gun industry be headed toward a recession?<\/p>\n

Recession<\/h2>\n

To meet up with the demand created by the Obama gun boom, almost every gun and ammo manufacturer expanded operations to make more guns, accessories, and ammunition. Today, in some parts of the country, supply still hasn\u2019t caught up with demand (especially as it relates to ammo), however, in many other parts a prospective buyer can now get what he wants at a pretty reasonable price. This increase in supply has met the increase in demand, in other words. The question is what does a Trump presidency do to the demand side of the equation? There is no longer fear of national gun control or no longer that same urgency. No one will be waiting in line to buy black rifles at a premium as would have been the case if Hillary was elected president. Meanwhile, gun production remains at an all-time high. How long before supply outpaces demand to the point where everyone who wants a new firearm has a new firearm? What happens to the gun industry one or two years into the Trump administration? Will the gun industry experience a downturn? Will there be layoffs?<\/p>\n

Trump Supports No Fly, No Buy Legislation<\/h2>\n

Trump\u2019s not a Second Amendment purist. He does support some questionable laws, included the misguided \u201cNo Fly, No Buy\u201d that would remove one\u2019s right to keep and bear arms if one was placed on the extra-constitutional No-Fly list. There is a chance that a GOP version of the bill lands on his desk during his presidency. For many gun owners, this is not a big deal. However, when one looks into the details and implications of No Fly, No Buy<\/a> it becomes exceedingly troubling.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Overall, it\u2019s a great day for gun owners and the Second Amendment. Yet, at the same time, we must remember that no victory is permanent in this war, that the fight will continue on and on and on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
