Donald Trump is the 2024 Republican Presidential nominee, but where does he stand in the gap between 2A rights and gun restrictions?
Yes, Trump made bad anti-gun rights decisions in his first term (since overturned) and, unfortunately, still supports red flag laws but he has appointed judges across the country who have made pro-2A decisions. We have two choices. (Independent, third party, libertarian, is a waste of your vote.) Vote and vote wisely.

Before Running for Office
Pivoting politically from registered Republican in 1987 to Independent and Democrat and back to Republican by 2009, Trump, who has kept a penthouse residence at the 58-story Fifth Avenue tower that bears his name since 1984, long maintained a NYC concealed carry permit.
In his bestselling 2000 book, “The America We Deserve,” Trump wrote, “I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons, and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology, we should be able to tell within 72 hours if a potential gun owner has a record.”
As an Empire State resident and gun owner, he went on record against the controversial NY SAFE Act in 2014, appearing at a 2A rally outside the New York State Capitol building in Albany.
“I’m a big Second Amendment person,” said Trump before a crowd of about 3,500. “I’m a big, strong believer in it … I wanted to be here to support you. I’ll be with you no matter where you are.”
