He took aim at Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other anti-gun politicians in Congress and state legislatures across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Trump pointed out, these leaders have launched a relentless attack on guns, gun owners, and dealers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When I am President, I will always listen to Gun Owners of America,&#8221; Trump assured the crowd. He praised the organization for its rapid growth and expressed his support, saying, &#8220;You\u2019ve really come a long way in a short period of time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-david-hogg-talks-gun-control-at-dnc\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/david-hogg-talks-gun-control-at-dnc\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"trump-addresses-first-goa-summit\" title=\"Trump Addresses First GOA Summit!\">David Hogg Talks Gun Control at DNC<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BREAKING: President Trump Addresses First GOA Convention\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SfDDnDNVCsw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Macy, Chairman of Gun Owners of America, responded to Trump\u2019s speech with gratitude, calling it the President\u2019s strongest stance on gun rights yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly grateful to President Trump for taking the time to address our attendees. Without a doubt, this was President Trump\u2019s strongest take on gun rights to date, and coupled with Senator Vance as his running mate, gun owners have a clear choice this November,&#8221; said Macy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erich Pratt, GOA\u2019s Senior Vice President, echoed Macy\u2019s sentiments, emphasizing that Second Amendment rights are at stake in this election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pratt urged gun owners to ensure Harris does not become the next President by turning out the pro-gun vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur rights are absolutely on the ballot,&#8221; he said,  &#8220;and it&#8217;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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>What did you
