He has no idea how to hold a pistol does he
- Saw a pic of him in a car with his arm out the window, pointing it at the camera, with his finger on the god damn trigger. If that thing was loaded he was a speed bump away from re-enacting the "Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face" scene. What a fucking tool.
  
  I was looking for it and found picture that looks like what you described, but I believe it was Photoshop of this one
  
  And then there would be a press conference afterwards, with Marvin apologizing for getting in the way of the bullet and still supporting not only Trump's candidacy, but his God given right to discharge firearms anywhere and everywhere.
  
  I mean that basically happened when Cheney shot that guy in the face.
- I can't even imagine him with a gun, I doubt he likes them. But his base does. He wanted them as decor cause they had his face
  
  FWIW, trump was known to have a carry permit in NYC, which is nearly impossible for the average citizen to get, and it should be no surprise that there were allegations that he wasn't properly vetted for it and there were some shady favors going in in the background in order for him to get it. Whether he ever actually ever carried is up for debate, although he claimed to, because he "likes to be unpredictable" but of course that's his words, so who's to say what they're worth.
  
  His sons were also known to go on big game trophy hunting trips to Africa, so there's definitely some ammount of Trump family gun culture, although I vaguely remember seeing an article that I'm too lazy to track down now where Trump said he didn't really see the appeal of hunting, so who knows how much trump ever thought about guns.
  
  I agree he was probably only interested in this one because it had his face on it.
  
  Imagine asking a person why they carry a firearm on them and their reply is, "I like to be predictable." Like holy shit, red flag.
  
  Now imagine that person became the President of the US.
  
  He also attended a military school and so is at least familiar with a rifle from there
- "Wow, just look at that. Is that metal?"
  
  “Kinda heavy isn’t it? My wrists hurt. Do you have something that fits better in small hands?”
