I'm much more interested in accomplishing something that will drive generational change than I am minor tweaks to the gun law landscape.
Two huge things that the POTUS-elect should do as soon as possible:
1) Nominate a young justice to the SCOTUS who espouses originalist views regarding state's rights and an expansive view of the scope of the second amendment. Ensure that Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Senate figures out how to get this choice confirmed and seated on the court. Over time, such an appointment will help establish a strong body of case law that would require a generation of liberal interference to overcome.
2) Instruct the Justice Department and all US Attorneys around the country to reverse the trend of decreasing prosecution of gun crimes such as felons in possession of firearms, felons who attempt to purchase firearms, felons who encourage others to make straw purchases of firearms for them, etc. (

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/23/despite-rhetoric-gun-prosecutions-plummet-under-ob/). Make sure that US Attorneys in violent cities prosecute these crimes at the highest rates in the country, instead of the lowest rates (see
http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/wa...new-york-prosecuted-fewest-federal-gun-crimes)
These crimes are often plea-bargained down currently. Prosecuting more of these crimes would put more violent felons in federal prisons serving longer sentences, where they belong. Locking up more violent felons for longer will further reduce the crime rate, taking the wind out of liberal arguments that their version of gun control (disarming law-abiding citizens) is necessary to reduce violence in our cities. Long term, further reductions in felons possessing and using firearms illegally will benefit every citizen of this country, whether conservative, liberal, or in-between.
After Trump accomplishes these big things, then, I believe, we should start to jump on him for the myriad other items on our pro-freedom, pro-self-defense agendas.
