Well, this is interesting. It sounds like Donald Trump is endorsing Hillary Clinton’s proposal to take away the constitutional rights of Americans who have committed no crime:
I will be meeting with the NRA, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no fly list, to buy guns.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 15, 2016
UPDATE 12:10: The NRA responds:
Happy to meet @realdonaldtrump. Our position is no guns for terrorists—period. Due process & right to self-defense for law-abiding Americans

But in the blizzard of Donald Trump positions during the primaries, his support of the ban — if that’s what it is — should not shock anyone:
Trump backed a gun ban for ppl on terror watch list last November https://t.co/jWoIhJURiL

The NRA and Republicans are opposed to it, so we’ll so how well this goes over:
Our goal is to ensure that Americans wrongly on the Terror Watch List are afforded their constitutional right to due process #GOPDebate

If Trump supports this plan, that would put him in line with Democrats in Congress https://t.co/79Pw4FUSBW

The problem is that this takes away someone's 2nd amendment rights without due process. https://t.co/WXO61rc6xo

I hope they set you straight. NO CITIZEN should be denied their rights, w/o DUE PROCESS! Many probs w/ these lists! https://t.co/GyVIoqKEfr

Maybe the NRA can educate you about the Fifth Amendment. And the no-fly list. https://t.co/hsvDUp03fh

This probably creates more heartburn for Rs in Congress than any of the bad things Trump said in the last week. https://t.co/yCmNxf0Kps
