After campaigning in Minnesota the day before his hush money trial began, former President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak to thousands of NRA members in Texas.
As the nation experiences record levels of mass shooting murders, Trump has vowed to uphold the Second Amendment and referred to himself as “the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House.” With 217 fatalities and 42 mass killings at year’s end, it was one of the worst years ever.
President Joe Biden has attacked the presumed Republican nominee for president, citing in particular comments he made earlier this year following an Iowa school shooting that he described as “very terrible” before adding that “we have to move on.” We must proceed.
At a campaign rally in Minnesota on Friday, Trump stated, “You know, it’s an amazing thing. People that have guns, people that legitimately have guns, they love guns and they use guns for the right purpose, but they tend to vote very little and yet they have to vote for us. There’s nobody else to vote for because the Democrats want to take their guns away and they will take their guns away.”
He continued, “That’s why I’m going to be talking to the NRA tomorrow to say, ‘You gotta get out and vote.'”
