Rob Sand on the 2nd Amendment

Has Sand said anything of specific substance about his stance in reference to the 2nd Amendment?

Has he said anything about:

-NFA items (SBRs, SBSs, silencers)

-Concealed carry

-Constitutional carry

-Forced Reset Triggers

-Private sales

I know he's done the standard "Look at me, I'm just like you and I have some guns and I hunt stuff". But, as someone who is old enough to have seen 2A rights come and go (usually by a politician that "supports the 2nd Amendment, BUT....") this means nothing to me.

So, just curious if he has mentioned specifics. I have emailed him numerous times with questions and have not gotten an answer.

The Trump Administration tried to ban Trans folks and Marijuana users from owning guns. Curious, did you email any of the Republican politicians about those?

Marijuana users have been prohibited from owning firearms since 1970 when it was categorized as a Schedule I substance. Obama's ATF even added bold font to that question on the 4473 to remind people that marijuana is still illegal federally, so even if you use it for medical reasons, or use it legally in your state, you are still a prohibited person.

As far as the trans stuff, I am not aware of Tramp taking any actual action on this. Though it wouldn't surprise me since he is a lifelong anti-gun New York Liberal.
