Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump -- who said he has a concealed carry permit -- called for the expansion of gun rights Friday, including making those permits applicable nationwide.
In a position paper published on his website Friday afternoon, Trump called for the elimination of gun and magazine bans, labeling them a "total failure."
"Law-abiding people should be allowed to own the firearm of their choice. The government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own," Trump wrote.
It's not a departure from what he's said on the trail this year, though it does mark a shift from a position he took in his 2000 book "The America We Deserve," where Trump stated that he generally opposes gun control but that he supported a ban on assault weapons and a longer waiting period to get a gun.

"frontrunner"???? wth
I want him to go a step further and get rid of ALL restrictions on firearms. I remember a time you could order a firearm from a Sears catalog and have it delivered to your home. I don't recall any mass shootings back then.
Y'all are fools if you think you are getting shall issue in MD. Not going to happen. Read the fine print not the headlines.
just stop for a minute and ask yourselves this, has ANY gun law prevented anyone from getting a firearm, OR prevented a crime with a firearm?
If you have trouble answering that just look at Chicago for reference.
