Donald Trump attempted to portray himself as a defender of the Second Amendment during Thursday night's GOP presidential debate, but the reality says something quite different.

In his 2000 book, America We Deserve, Trump actually chastised the Republican Party for not embracing stricter restrictions on gun rights. "The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions," he wrote.

He also wrote, "I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun."
