President Donald Trump gave his most forceful defense of gun rights on Saturday during a virtual address at Gun Owners of America’s inaugural Advocacy and Leadership Summit.
Speaking directly to a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, Trump delivered a message of both encouragement and warning as the nation heads into the November election.
In his speech, Trump didn’t mince words about the threats facing Second Amendment rights. He took aim at Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other anti-gun politicians in Congress and state legislatures across the country.
As Trump pointed out, these leaders have launched a relentless attack on guns, gun owners, and dealers.
“When I am President, I will always listen to Gun Owners of America,” Trump assured the crowd. He praised the organization for its rapid growth and expressed his support, saying, “You’ve really come a long way in a short period of time.”

Trump also singled out Kamala Harris, accusing her of backing gun confiscation schemes throughout her career. He urged gun owners to mobilize and vote, emphasizing the importance of their turnout in the upcoming election.
Tim Macy, Chairman of Gun Owners of America, responded to Trump’s speech with gratitude, calling it the President’s strongest stance on gun rights yet.
“We’re incredibly grateful to President Trump for taking the time to address our attendees. Without a doubt, this was President Trump’s strongest take on gun rights to date, and coupled with Senator Vance as his running mate, gun owners have a clear choice this November,” said Macy.
Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, echoed Macy’s sentiments, emphasizing that Second Amendment rights are at stake in this election.
Pratt urged gun owners to ensure Harris does not become the next President by turning out the pro-gun vote.
“Our rights are absolutely on the ballot,” he said, “and it’s essential that gun owners do everything we can to turn out the pro-gun vote and ensure Kamala Harris is not the next occupant of the White House.”

Imagine if the deep state Trump assassination attempt was successful, the wake operation would have been then used to push a national ban on firearms. Much like the RFK Sr. on the heels of the JFK and MLK assassinations. Certainly RFK Jr. was a potential target, stripped of “Secret Service” protection much like the killing of Sr. which ushered in the GCA.
Instread, target Trump caught on a gruesome bit of film, not unlike JFK, must have offered a more irresistable payoff. Imagine the usual suspects gleefully saying that Trump himself and 2A civil rights groups are to blame for the assassination while conducting a full court press on disarming the US. More Hegelian dialectic by the deep state, just didn’t work out this time.
