Over the weekend, President Trump announced that his campaign would launch “Gun Owners for Trump,” a new coalition aimed at encouraging law-abiding American gun owners to cast their ballots in 2024.
“And this is to get out the vote,” Trump said.
His remarks were delivered in Dallas at the NRA Annual Meeting, where the president headlined the event and spoke in depth about the importance of capturing gun owners’ votes.
“…Gun owners don’t vote – what is THAT all about?” he said, noting that the voter turnout for gun owners was low. “…Perhaps it’s a form of rebellion…if gun owners voted, we would SWAMP them at levels that nobody’s ever seen before.”
He urged gun owners to “be rebellious and VOTE this time” in 2024 because “we have to WIN this election!”
According to a statement from the Trump campaign, “Gun Owners for Trump” has partnered with the Republican National Committee (RNC) with the goal to “push back against Biden and the gun-grabbing Democrats’ attempts to erode the Second Amendment of the United States.”
The coalition is led by “over 50 Olympic athletes, firearm industry leaders, and public advocates who stand up for the Second Amendment.”
Trump’s campaign pointed out that the rising “Migrant Crime Wave” perpetuated by Joe Biden’s open border administration has made it more important than ever to allow Americans to protect themselves.
“President Trump believes that every American has a God-given right to protect themselves and their family and has proven through his actions that he will defend law-abiding gun owners,” per the statement.
He has vowed to terminate “every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers” within his first week of taking office in 2025 if he wins in November.
His campaign also focused on the importance of the new coalition’s work to ensure President Trump secures a second term, seal the deal on a Republican majority in the Senate, and expand the Republican House majority.
