Trump addresses an embattled NRA as he campaigns against Biden’s gun policies - lemm.ee

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.

What about gun restrictions at nearby buildings?

This might be the only time in human history that I am against additional gun regulation.
Show threadFiniteBanjoJul 14, 2024
TBH if Trump could get more moderate votes by wanting regulations, it wouldn’t be worth the trade on other policies.

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.

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.

Biden signs landmark gun measure, says 'lives will be saved'

President Joe Biden has signed the most sweeping gun violence bill in decades. The bipartisan compromise seemed unimaginable until a recent series of mass shootings, including the massacre of 19 students and two teachers at a Texas elementary school. The House gave final approval Friday, following Senate passage Thursday, and Biden acted just before leaving Washington for two world leader summits in Europe. The legislation will toughen background checks for the youngest gun buyers, keep firearms from more domestic violence offenders and help states put in place laws that make it easier for authorities to take weapons from people adjudged to be dangerous. Most of its $13 billion cost will help bolster mental health programs and aid schools
