Common sense legal decision in the USA

[DaveB]

I hope they enjoy it while they can. The common-sense will end after today's election. When Hillary is in charge, her lies about supporting the Second Amendment will be revealed, as she does everything she can to deprive citizens of firearms. First to come will be the re-appearance of the Assault Weapons Ban - and ownership of AR15-style rifles will be severely curtailed. Repealing protection for gun-makers from lawsuits will be on the to-do list too, I am sure. The only hope for US gun-owners is if the Republicans can control the Senate and House of Representatives.

DaveB - looks like your wishes have come true, Clinton has been well and trully TRUMPED!

Could Trump get rid of ITAR?

[ovenpaa]

He could in theory get rid of ITAR however I doubt he would as it would mean a loss of control of the export of fun things. He could however soften it for some items.

I doubt it is high up on his agenda, he has a wall to build and presidential candidates to jail first.

Yep, I called that one wrong for sure. I NEVER thought Trump would win. The really good thing is that he gets to appoint a judge to the vacant Supreme Court seat, plus probably at least one or two more during his term, which could see the Court veer to the right (and in favour of gun owners) for decades. c

Don't take it too hard, Dave. We all thought the same about Nigel Farage. It just shows that dreams do come true ocassionally. I just hope this dream doesn't turn into a nightmare.
