Trump vows to undo Biden gun restrictions if re-elected
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-vows-undo-biden-gun-restrictions-if-re-elected-2024-02-10/ HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race, said on Friday he had firmly protected gun rights while in the White House and vowed if re-elected to undo all restrictions enacted by President Joe Biden.
Speaking to thousands of supporters at an event organized by the National Rifle Association (NRA), Trump promised to rescind a rule curbing sales of gun accessories known as pistol braces and other regulations put in place by the Biden administration.
"Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day," Trump said in a speech at the Great American Outdoor show in Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania.
The NRA enthusiastically backed Trump during the 2016 race and throughout his administration, cheering him on as he appointed three conservative justices to the Supreme Court and adopted a series of steps sought by the influential gun lobby. These included designating firearm shops as essential businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing them to stay open.
Seeing conservative gun owners as critical to his re-election chances, Trump has continued to court them aggressively. He told the crowd on Friday that if he is re-elected "no one will lay a finger on your firearms" and bragged about resisting pressure to implement gun restrictions during his term in the White House from 2017 to 2021.
"During my four years nothing happened, and there was great pressure on me having to do with guns. We did nothing, we didn't yield," Trump said.

Republicans, with the support of the NRA and other gun rights groups, largely oppose stricter laws, citing the right to bear arms established in the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment. That stance has remain fixed even in the face of a steady stream of mass shootings, and with the United States registering the highest rate of gun deaths among rich countries. At Friday's address, Trump's eighth in front of an NRA crowd, he urged his supporters to "swamp" the polls in November, a recognition that he needs the battleground state he lost in 2020 if he wants to retake the White House. Ahead of Trump's speech, the Democratic National Committee put up a billboard in Harrisburg referring to comments Trump made following a school shooting in Iowa in January, when he expressed condolences before telling his supporters they had "to get over it," and needed "to move forward." "Donald Trump to victims of gun violence: 'get over it'," the billboard reads. The Biden campaign held a call on Friday with reporters about Trump and the NRA. One speaker was Maxwell Frost, a 27-year-old Florida congressman who said he got into politics to stop school shootings and enact stronger gun laws. "We have Republican politicians like Donald Trump, who are all too willing to stand by and watch kids senselessly die, because he's bought and paid for by the NRA," Frost said. Trump's speech came one day after he won Republican presidential nominating caucuses in Nevada and the U.S. Virgin Islands, moving closer to the nomination and a likely general election rematch with Biden. Trump again on Friday raised questions about Biden's mental acuity, the day after a Department of Justice special counsel report said Biden, 81, suffered from memory lapses, even as it concluded he should not be charged in a probe into his handling of classified documents.

I'm sure Trump will keep this promise, just like he promised to overturn Obamacare and ban guns during his last presidency.

Of course, most Demotrash states passed their own laws to taxrape people without health insurance (the poor mostly).

"Take the guns first, go through due process second." >Trump also said some of his fellow Republicans were "petrified" of the NRA, called on lawmakers to produce a “comprehensive” gun bill, and squelched prospects for a GOP-backed concealed carry proposal as part of a broader gun package. >"We must harden our schools against attack," Trump said while also calling for other steps to end the "senseless violence" that has claimed lives in classrooms, nightclubs and workplaces across the country. >"We can't wait and play games and nothing gets done," Trump said two weeks after a mass shooting that claimed 17 lives at a high school in Parkland, Fla. >Trump said he wants "one terrific bill" that can address better background checks, arming qualified teachers and school officials, increasing the age limit for certain gun purchases, and finding new ways to keep guns away from mentally ill people and others who should not have them. He's basically a democrat on guns.

>>1265733 Biden passed a gun safety bill that expands background checks and keeps the long standing prohibition of gun ownership from people convicted of domestic abuse. As far as actually restricting the purchasing of certain kinds of firearms Trump did more. He was the one who passed the bumpstock ban.

>>1265735 show me where it says trump passed more gun control bills than biden you lying piece of shit tranny? because the only anti gun shit on there is the bump stock EO and the CDC study money. The NICS thing was more an admin thing and none of the rest of the shit he did was gun control. it was either him saying bullshit and then not doing anything or it was pro gun like getting rid of that obongo EO.
Meanwhile biden passed that gun control law, redefined gun seller to try to ban private sales, had the atf put a bunch of gun stores out of business had like dozens of anti gun EOs and had the ATF redefine what is a gun and try to ban pistol braces.
you are obviously a paid shill

>He was the one who passed the bumpstock ban. the bumpstock ban was an EO. also it literally didn't do anything because no one turned in a bumpstock. bidens atf redefined what a gun is to ban homemade guns and redefined what a stock is to ban stocked pistols. brandon did more you are intentionally lying

>>1265732 >>1265733 Trump personally banned bumpstocks and made everyone who owned one a felon. Also banned the import of Russian Molot rifles and shotguns, which were generally seen as high quality weapons for their cost. He said he was open to a number of other gun restrictions, I can't remember if any of them actually went through under him though.
