“the eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end.” - Donald Trump... Uh yeah, not so much. Trump administration asks Supreme Court to reject 2nd Amendment claim by men who lost gun rights over nonviolent crimesBy: David G Savage, May 25 2017 3:00 am Trump administration lawyers are urging the Supreme Court to reject a 2nd Amendment claim that would restore the right to own a gun for two Pennsylvania men who were convicted more than 20 years ago of nonviolent crimes. The case of Sessions vs. Binderup puts the new administration in a potentially awkward spot, considering President Trump’s repeated assurances during the campaign that he would protect gun-ownership rights under the 2nd Amendment. But the Justice Department under Trump has embraced the same position in this case that was adopted under President Obama: to defend strict enforcement of a long-standing federal law that bars convicted criminals from ever owning a gun, even when their crimes did not involve violence. www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-court-guns-trump-20170525-story.html
