President Donald Trump promises to stand firm on protecting our Second Amendment rights—no one will touch our guns if he’s in charge. But hold on—his record during his first term tells a different story. Will Trump truly stick to his word, or is there a more complicated future for gun rights under his leadership in a second term?
When he spoke to the NRA in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Trump swore, “No one will lay a finger on your firearms.” Strong words, but actions speak louder than promises. Back in 2017, his administration implemented a bump stock ban. Let’s not forget his post-Parkland rhetoric in 2018 calling for stronger background checks and red flag laws. And after the 2019 tragedies in El Paso and Dayton, Trump didn’t back down on his support for more stringent background checks and red flag laws, even as many gun rights advocates pushed back hard.
So, what’s the deal? Will Trump roll back Harris-Biden’s anti-gun policies, or will we see him push for new restrictions? And, what about his promises to protect gun owners—should we trust them?
I sat down with Luis Valdes, the National Spokesman and Florida State Director of Gun Owners of America, to get to the bottom of this. Valdes doesn’t mince words. He’s got the facts and the perspective on what Trump has done for gun rights, and what he might do next. If you care about your Second Amendment rights, you NEED to hear this interview.
