What gun owners will be left with under Trump's policy

Wait. What’s that noise? It’s nothing, that’s what it is. Dead silence.

It’s the sound of the NRA reacting to Trump's promise to pry guns out of American hands.

“If they see a person possibly with a gun or they think may have a gun, they will see the person and they’ll look and they’ll take the gun away,” Trump said Thursday on Fox News, laying out his vision of how the practice works. “They’ll stop, they’ll frisk, and they’ll take the gun away and they won’t have anything to shoot with.”

That’s Donald Trump explicitly saying that he’s going to order cops to grab guns. So you’d think that, perhaps, it would elicit a bit of response from the nation’s most hyper, over-the-top organization on the topic of open and concealed carry. Let’s listen again …

Nope. Not a word.

But spokespersons for the National Rifle Association, (which has endorsed Trump for president), the National Association for Gun Rights and the Second Amendment Foundation did not answer multiple requests for comment in response to Trump’s remarks.

What would the NRA be saying if Hillary Clinton had made these comments? Well, we can look at what they're saying already.
