You won’t believe it, but Trump is coming for your guns
this is how he’ll get them
President Obama and Hillary Clinton were often accused of coming to take people’s guns. Regardless of Obama’s response to this ridiculous accusation, there are 2 reasons why a Democrat could never actually take your guns away, and it has nothing to do with the Constitution or the 2nd Amendment, which contrary to President-elect Trump’s belief does not say “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.” (It actually reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Though there are variations with punctuation and capitalization differences.)
But none of that really matters because no one person can come and take your guns. It would be impossible for the president, on his own, to come and get your guns. President Obama isn’t going to go from door to door trying to get people to give him their guns. It cannot happen. There are only 2 ways for a president to get your guns:
Voluntarily Disarming
Obama could do neither of those things. People who own guns are ever vigilant and continue to believe the NRA’s fallacy about the Democrats wanting your guns. If Obama would have asked you to give up your gun, you would have probably given him the double finger salute and yelled “FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS” while checking your bunker supplies.
Trump, on the other hand, already has the blind devotion of a ton of gun owners, and he is able to lie while he is convinced that he is not lying. He refutes video evidence of things he has said in the pass or he justifies whatever he has said as a trifle, something that everyone does. His followers are okay with that because his ability to convincingly lie made him president. He also doesn’t respect contracts. There are numerous cases where he has engaged services of a company and then not paid the bill because that company did shoddy work (according to him). So his contract with the people that supported him will only last as long as he sees fit.
Now imagine that he comes up with a lie like this: We have a great security threat, the greatest threat our country has ever seen, and we need our gun owners to come forward and protect our southern borders with our military. We cannot build the wall without, you the real Americans coming out with your guns and protecting us from the invasion of rapists, thieves and murderers. Our military is great, but we need the help of everyone to stop this threat to our lives and our jobs.
I am sure that his lie will be much more convincing. It will include some sort of fear and some sort of hate, and he will convince gun owners of the absolute need for them to be there with their guns. It will be a trap.
The Law Enforcement Agency
Everyone knows that most law enforcement agencies and the armed forces are conservative both by nature and by membership. It makes sense considering that the conservatives tend to be law and order focused and tend to support the military, at least monetarily if not with their own lives and service. There is no way that Obama could have ordered the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines to take the U.S. population’s guns and have had those orders followed. In spite of being Commander-in-Chief, he did not have the clout necessary to issue those orders to any agency and have those orders taken seriously.
Trump, on the other hand, very clearly has the rampant support of the FBI as Comey and the unidentified agent who called the FBI “Trumpland” show. The FBI did as much as they could without doing anything illegal to tip this election in favor of The Donald. (How much affect they actually had is an issue for others to discuss.) But the FBI is responsible for actions, often covert, carried out within the borders of the U.S. Trump already has the clout to begin a clandestine operation to take your guns.
The Motive
Why would Trump want to take your guns? Well, at first, he wouldn’t. He would just want to make sure that gang members don’t have guns, and you aren’t a member of a gang, right? He would just want to make sure that the rules that are already in place are being followed. And you’re following all of the rules, right? And then he would realize that his position as president can only last a maximum of 8 years. Trump would see himself as the best leader for America and the right to rule it as his prerogative. He would grow tired of Congress’ attempts to control him. He will not want to give up his power, but the only way he can keep it is if he has control of the military and your guns.
For those who value their freedoms, it is important to remain ever vigilant. Do not let your candidate and now president lull you into a false sense of security. Trump will tell you he is not coming for your guns, and he wants to protect the 2nd Amendment. And that is probably true, for now.

President Obama isn’t going to go from door to door trying to get people to give him their guns. It cannot happen. There are only 2 ways for a president to get your guns:
- Give you a reason to give them up voluntarily.
- Have a law enforcement agency or a branch of the armed forces support him enough to carry out his orders to retrieve your guns in any way necessary.
