Trump addresses an embattled NRA as he campaigns against Biden’s gun policies
Donald Trump arrives at the NRA convention a reliable ally of gun rights activists. But it’s unclear how much the NRA can help with his latest White House bid.
From May 2024:
As he seeks a second term, Trump has promised to remain an unflinching supporter of the NRA and its agenda to unravel four years of Biden’s actions on guns. Biden’s campaign has branded Trump “the greatest defender of the Second Amendment to ever occupy the White House.”
Trump’s speech was short on specifics about what he would do to protect or expand gun rights in a second term, but he promised to “roll back every Biden attack on the Second Amendment.” He sought to remind the friendly crowd of his administration’s accomplishments while arguing that another four years of Biden’s leadership would result in more firearms and gun owners being targeted.
I bet gun restrictions get a lot tighter at his rallies
They were already tight, he doesn't trust his followers any more than we do.
I mean, he's not wrong about that.
Just in cased anybody reading somehow hasn't seen it, he was shot today during a rally in PA.
What about gun restrictions at nearby buildings?
This might be the only time in human history that I am against additional gun regulation.
TBH if Trump could get more moderate votes by wanting regulations, it wouldn't be worth the trade on other policies.

The irony fucking hurts right now.
Not as much as his ear does
The NRA is becoming toothless. Us lib gunners already hated 'em and the rest are ambivalent at best. Best they got is helping with insurance on ranges where membership is required. OK, I refuse to go there.
Did you expect Trump to find some sort of enlightenment? Come on now...
Has Biden taken any action? He's talked a lot about it but I'm not aware of any actual policy
I stand corrected
Actually we changed our mind at least until someone else gets to be president. What this country needs right now is crazy people with lots of them and thinner teleprompter screens.
