Former President Donald Trumpurged gun owners to vote in the 2024 election.
By Adriana Gomez Licon, Associated PressFormer President Donald Trump speaks during the National Rifle Association Convention, Saturday, May 18, 2024, in Dallas.
Trump, in his speech, said the Second Amendment “is very much on the ballot” in November, alleging that, if Democratic President Joe Biden “gets four more years they are coming for your guns, 100% certain. Crooked Joe has a 40-year-record of trying to rip firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.”
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has been criticized by Biden, specifically for remarks that Trump made this year after a school shooting in Iowa. Trump called the incident “very terrible” only to later say that “we have to get over it. We have to move forward.” Trump noted he will be speaking next week at the Libertarian Party’s convention and said he will urge its members to vote for him.
Biden has made curtailing gun violence a major part of his administration and reelection campaign, creating the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention overseen by Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden also has urged Congress to ban so-called assault weapons — something Democrats shied from even just a few years ago.
