Former President Donald Trump, who is the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race, on Friday, vowed to undo all gun restrictions enacted by President Joe Biden.
Gatekeepers News reports that Trump had firmly protected gun rights while in the White House.
Trump, while addressing thousands of supporters at an event organized by the National Rifle Association (NRA), promised to rescind a rule curbing sales of gun accessories known as pistol braces and other regulations put in place by the Biden administration.
Trump said, “Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day.”
During the last 2016 race, the NRA backed Trump and throughout his administration, the association cheered 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.
Trump 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.”
