Gun Groups on Trump Victory
In a joint statement, the Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms congratulated the nations gun owners for making possible Tuesdays victory that will send Donald J. Trump to the White House in 2017.
SAF and CCRKBA also offer their sincere congratulations to President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence for their historic and stunning victory, and especially for Mr. Trumps gracious call for unity among all Americans.
What happened Tuesday night was a reaffirmation that Americans can make the system work, and that this nations gun owners are a cornerstone of that system, said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. It cannot be ignored that this nations tens of millions of honest firearms owners turned out to protect their constitutional rights. From the outset, Mr. Trump made it clear that the Second Amendment will be safe on his watch.
While Americas hard-working gun owners can celebrate the victory they helped make possible, added Gottlieb, who also chairs the CCRKBA, we must remain mindful that the gun prohibition lobby, which is largely funded by elitist billionaires like Michael Bloomberg, will almost certainly double down on their efforts to erode our Second Amendment rights at the state level, whenever and wherever they can.

The ammosexuals are gloating over Dumpie Trumpie's "victory" even though he didn't win the popular vote. Even on DU (when they can spare time away from CC) they are celebrating the Trumper's pro gun victory, and bragging about Hillary's loss to the "gun vote."
The dwindling right-wing gun culture may have won a temporary battle, but the war rages on, and more and more gun control victories are being won at local legislative levels which will spread to the national level in due time.

continues the narrative of gun owners and their rights as being under constant attack, thus fostering a bunker mentality among gun owners.

they are always the victims, hence the need for self-defense from their imaginary Liberal goblins.

are being won at local legislative levels which will spread to the national level in due time.
Most, if not all, likely to be challenged in court and eventually overturned by the Supreme Court.
