The same day Donald Trump’s campaign cancelled his appearance at the Heritage Action Presidential Forum, the candidate released a policy paper on his plan to expand gun rights Friday.

The paper, dubbed “Protecting Our Second Amendment Rights Will Make America Great Again,” calls for an end to gun and magazine bans and nationwide concealed carry permits.

Trump’s plan would also end the ban on carrying guns on military bases and recruiting centers, presumably a response to the July shootings at military sites in Chattanooga, Tenn. that left four Marines dead.

Trump’s website currently only includes one other policy paper under the “positions” section, which is Trump’s treatise on immigration.
