Trump Issues Strongest Defense of Gun Rights Since Assassination Attempt

On Saturday at Gun Owners of America’s inaugural Advocacy and Leadership Summit, President Donald Trump virtually addressed the crowd of attendees with both words of encouragement and a warning about the siege facing Second Amendment rights in the lead-up to the November election.

President Trump’s speech, which was warmly received by the crowd, comes at a time when Second Amendment rights face some of their greatest threats in history. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the anti-gun tyrants in Congress and state legislatures across the country have unleashed a relentless assault against guns, owners, and dealers nationwide.

In his speech, President Trump addressed Gun Owners of America by name, saying among other things:

“When I am President, I will always listen to Gun Owners of America. I want to congratulate all of you, because you’ve really come a long way in a short period of time…”

“Kamala Harris has supported gun confiscation schemes throughout her career…”

“I ask all of the gun owners to get out and vote…”

Tim Macy, the Chairman of Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement:

“We’re incredibly grateful to President Trump for taking the time to address our attendees. Without a doubt, this was President Trump’s strongest take on gun rights to date, and coupled with Senator Vance as his running mate, gun owners have a clear choice this November.”

Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, added:

“Our rights are absolutely on the ballot, and it’s essential that gun owners do everything we can to turn out the pro-gun vote and ensure Kamala Harris is not the next occupant of the White House.”

I’ll agree some of his past rhetoric is concerning. But what other option is there to a small victory ? Of course this is assuming elections have any form of integrity.

Trump will do whatever he wants like he did with Bumpstocks he is no friend of the 2A or the Constitution

Like any good decision, we need to weigh the known harm that Kamala/Walz will impose upon 2A and the rest of the US. I would have preferred most of the primary candidates to Trump. However, the alternative to Trump and the unvetted by any semblance of a primary Kamala/Walz team leave no decision room. It has to be a vote for Trump. Their plans for honest, trustworthy hard working people who happen to own firearms are clear. There is no question that criminal attacks on innocent people are on the rise. Schools are teaching that the US is an evil… Read more »

Trump 47 should, but won’t, upon getting a treasure secretary confirmed order a 90 day NFA amnesty (by a provision in the FoPA/Hughes) every single day. Swamp the registry by having every piece of scrap registered as an autosear, then get it struck down when it can’t keep up.
