Trump's latest policy paper marks departure on gun control
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who once advocated certain gun control measures, says he is a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and that gun rights should not be infringed upon.
In his second policy announcement of his campaign, Trump argues against expanded background checks and says the government should not place any kind of limits on the types of firearms people can own.
"A driver's license works in every state, so it's common sense that a concealed carry permit should work in every state," he writes.
More often, Trump sticks with vague talking points, like calling for better enforcement of laws already on the books, or describing problems without offering concrete solutions.
The paper was released shortly after Trump cancelled a planned appearance at a candidate forum in South Carolina, citing a "significant business transaction" that needed his attention.
