Especially after clearly stating his position on the 2A, who really believes he will do a reversal and waste political capital?
That makes zero sense. I think he's a big city New Yorker who didn't understand how many people actually own and highly value guns, since NYC portrays guns as bad every time the subject is brought up, unless you hunt. After paying more attention to the National audience, it seems pretty clear that he now understands where the people stand on the issue, even it it is campaign rhetoric, although I can't recall an election where a candidate did anything but pander to voters with some hunting pictures, Demicans and Republicrats alike. Remember John Kerry and his cold-roasted quail comments?
The difference I'm seeing here is that Trump seems believable on the concealed carry issue.
Hillary, on the other hand, truly does not believe any of us should be allowed to own even a handgun. She has praised gun confiscation schemes in other nations at rallies, and wants to repeal PLCAA.
Where Obama spent his political and bribery capital on Hillarycare, Hillary will spend hers on defeating the 2A by whatever means necessary.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

How can anything Trump says be considered believable? He has ZERO credibility.

Among the many failings of our political process is the notion that the senior politician is not allowed to change a position based on lessons learned. Doing so leads to accusations of flip-flopping and implied weakness.
Trading our rights for political expedience has been going on for a very long time. Our frustration with the accelerating loss of rights is one of the major reasons Mr Trump has gained so much traction.
At the same time, we do have reasons to be worried regardless of who prevails.shootersnotes.com

Based on what??? It certainly can't be his mindboggling record of taking a position and then reversing it, sometimes in the same day. http://www.politico.com/magazine/sto...ictions-213869

I don't trust him. I have no evidence that shows I should trust him. I have no reason to believe his new stances are really what he believes when he changed them for an election year. Especially from someone who has not held political office or has a voting record. If a politician that held office changed their mind and had a voting record to prove that new stance as well as bills that they brought forward to support that new stance, I would be all for that. Trump has none of that.
