The problem is what he says now isn't necessarily what he believes and definitely seems to clash with what he's said in the past. 2012 on "assault rifles" --> “who needs them except criminals and police?”
Remember the next POTUS may get to pick multiple Supreme Court justices, and we are just one justice away from having Heller reversed.
A Trumpism...
"It’s often argued that the American murder rate is high because guns are more available here than in other countries. After a tragedy like the massacre at Columbine High School, anyone could feel that it is too easy for Americans to get their hands on weapons. But nobody has a good solution. This is another issue where you see the extremes of the two existing major parties. Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within seventy-two hours if a potential gun owner has a record."
