If re-elected, Trump promises to lift Biden’s gun control measures

HARRISBURG: Former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election, said on Friday that he will undo all of President Joe Biden’s gun control measures if re-elected.

At a National Rifle Association (NRA) event, where he addressed thousands of supporters, Trump pledged to roll back regulations imposed by the Biden administration, including one that limited sales of pistol braces, a kind of gun accessory.
At the Great American Outdoor Exhibition in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Trump addressed thousands of fans and said, “My very first week back in office, perhaps my first day, I will terminate every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers.”
Throughout the 2016 election and his presidency, the NRA fervently supported Trump, applauding him when he nominated three conservative justices to the Supreme Court and took other actions that the powerful gun lobby had requested. One of them was enabling gun stores to remain open by classifying them as necessary enterprises during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Trump has persisted in actively courting conservative gun owners because he believes they are essential to his prospects of winning reelection. He bragged to the gathering on Friday that “no one will lay a finger on your firearms” if he is re-elected and said he fought calls to impose gun control measures while serving as president from 2017 to 2021.
“Nothing happened to me in my four years, and I was under a lot of pressure regarding guns.” We did not capitulate, we did nothing,” Trump said.
