Time and again Clinton openly admitted her disagreement with Hellerand her plan to use SCOTUS to tweak or reverse itwhile simultaneouslypushing enough gun control to abolish the Second Amendment. Trump took the opposite position: vowing to defend Heller with SCOTUS justices in the mold of Justice Scalia and to maintain the Second Amendment in its strongest form.

Clinton promised universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, a high capacity magazine ban, and numerous other gun controls. Trump promised to save the Second Amendment from people like Hillary Clinton. And he voiced direct opposition to expanding background checks or instituting assault weapon or high capacity magazine bans.

Clinton raged against weapons of war after a gunman opened fire on innocents in the Orlando Pulse nightclub. Trumps consistent message was that Americans ought to be able to own the firearm of their choice and that gun-free zones pose a threat by disarming citizens.

Throughout the race for the White House, Clinton made clear that she did not agree with the Heller rulinga ruling which reaffirmed that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right. And during a June 5, 2016, appearance on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, she twice refused to admit that an individual right to keep and bear arms was even constitutional. After being pressed by Stephanopoulos, she would only say that if such a right existed, it was not outside the purview of government regulation.

Her exact words:

I think that for most of our history there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment, until the decision by the late Justice [Antonin] Scalia. And there was no argument until then that localities, and states, and the federal government had a rightas we do with every amendmentto impose reasonable regulations.

She clearly missed the part about shall not be infringed. But Trump did not miss it, as he vowed again and again to stand with the NRA and save the Second Amendment.

Just says before the election, Rudy Giuliani stood behind a podium in Reno, Nevada, and said:

If you elect Donald Trump you will preserve your Second Amendment right to bear arms. If you elect Hillary Clinton, she will appoint one judge and then two, and they will take it away from you, and a lot of your other rights.

In the end, the people saw it the way Giuliani did. And they voted to save their Second Amendmentand the Heller decisionby choosing Trump over Clinton during a historic November 8 election.

Americans Vote To Preserve Heller, Second Amendment

Below is the original text of the Second Amendment:

Having been oppressed by a professional army, the founding fathers of the United States had no use for establishing one of their own. Instead, they decided that an armed citizenry makes the best army of all.

General George Washington created regulation for the aforementioned "well-regulated militia," which would consist of every able-bodied man in the country.

The Second Amendment holds the distinction of being the only amendment to the Bill of Rights that essentially goes unenforced. The U.S. Supreme Court has never struck down any piece of legislation on Second Amendment grounds, in part because justices have disagreed on whether the amendment is intended to protect the right to bear arms as an individual right, or as a component of the "well-regulated militia."

There are three predominant interpretations of the Second Amendment:

The only Supreme Court ruling in U.S. history that has focused primarily on the issue of what the Second Amendment really means is U.S. v. Miller (1939), which is also the last time the Court examined the amendment in any serious way.

In Miller, the Court affirmed a median interpretation holding that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to bear arms, but only if the arms in question are those that would be useful as part of a citizen militia. Or maybe not; interpretations vary, partly because Miller is not an exceptionally well-written ruling.

In Parker v. District of Columbia (March 2007), the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban on grounds that it violates the Second Amendment's guarantee of an individual right to bear arms. The case is being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller, which may soon address the meaning of the Second Amendment. Almost any standard would be an improvement over Miller.

Trump: Second Amendment is 'very, very safe' - Washington Post

It is odd that federal entities seem to find certain libertieslike the right to bear armsless inalienable than others. I will continue to guard the constitutional rights of all Americans against groups that would undermine them, and I look forward to seeing due process restored in the question of veterans Second Amendment rights.

WASHINGTONCongressman Doug Collins (R-Ga.) voted today to support H.R. 1181, TheVeterans Second Amendment Protection Act, to guard veterans right to bear arms and to due process under the law.

Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) labels veterans as mentally defective if they receive assistance from an appointed fiduciary. In the VA system, attaching this label to a veteran sends his or her name to the FBIs National InstantCriminal Background Check System (NICS). Inclusion on the NICS list prohibits an individual from buying or possessing a gun. Under the VAs system, individuals can be added to the system without any judicial determination,meaning veterans are deprivedof their Second Amendment rights without due process.

As a military chaplain, I find it disheartening that the VA allows bureaucrats to make determinations about a veterans constitutional right under the pretext of mental health care. Under the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, a judicial determinationrather than a bureaucratic labelwould be necessary to report a veterans name to NICS, said Collins.

It is odd that federal entities seem to find certain libertieslike the right to bear armsless inalienable than others. I will continue to guard the constitutional rights of all Americans against groups that would undermine them, and I look forward to seeing due process restored in the question of veterans Second Amendment rights.

Collins also cosponsored a similar piece of legislation, H.J.Res. 40, a joint resolution of disapproval of the Social Security Administrationsimplementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007, which effectively denied millions of Social Security recipients their Second and Fourth Amendment rights. President Trump signed this resolution into law last month.
