He also says his sons own firearms, enjoy shooting their weapons and are quite knowledgeable about firearms in general.

That trumps Mitt Romney. "I'm not a big-game hunter," Romney said, then explained that his preferred prey were rodents, rabbits, and such--"small varmints, if you will."

Gun owners were not all that enthusiastic about either McCain or Romney as they were viewed as RINOs especially when it came to the gun control issue. Many gun owners feel that if strong gun control passes it will occur when a Republican is sitting in the Oval Office.

It remains to be seen if they will support Trump but you can bet that a high percentage of the estimated 80,000,000 gun owners do not support Hillary's position on gun control. If they show up at the polls they may make the difference in a close election.

Time will tell.
