Former President Donald Trump recently addressed the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Texas, where he received their official endorsement for the 2024 election. Trump urged gun owners to vote, emphasizing the importance of their support in the upcoming election. He claimed that the Second Amendment is at stake, warning that Democratic President Joe Biden would try to take guns away from law-abiding citizens if re-elected.
Trump has positioned himself as a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, denouncing gun control measures proposed by the Biden administration. He criticized Biden for his stance on gun control and highlighted the record number of deaths from mass shootings in the United States. Trump also took shots at independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling him “radical left” and a disaster.
During his speech, Trump announced the creation of a new “Gun Owners for Trump” coalition and expressed his intention to speak at the Libertarian Party’s convention to garner more support. Meanwhile, Biden has made gun violence prevention a key issue in his administration, proposing measures such as banning assault weapons.
The political battle over gun rights and gun control continues to intensify, with both Trump and Biden rallying supporters to sway voters in their favor.
