Trump rallies against Cuomo, New York gun control

Or, to use slightly less inflammatory language,

To summarize, we conclude that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. That right existed prior to the formation of the new government under the Constitution and was premised on the private use of arms for activities such as hunting and self-defense, the latter being understood as resistance to either private lawlessness or the depredations of a tyrannical government (or a threat from abroad).

Parker v. D.C., 478 F.3d 370, 395 (D.C. Cir. 2007) aff'd sub nom. D.C. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 128 S. Ct. 2783, 171 L. Ed. 2d 637 (2008)

Ladies and gentlemen, the language of the Court.

I'll believe he's a true supporter of the Second Amendment when somebody asks him it's purpose, and he says it's to ensure we always retain the ability to shoot Senators.

I can agree with that...

But I'll say it's to retain the ability to defend ourselves against tyranny. Which could, hypothetically, involve shooting senators. Lol
