A spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) discusses why the Second Amendment could help Trump regain his position in office.
The Presidential Election isn’t far off. But Republican candidate Donald Trump just got a big boost in a particular area – supporting gun rights.
According to a poll from Fox News, Trump has seen a six point increase from supporting gun rights – a huge boost in contrast to where his opponent, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, currently stands.
“This is a critical issue for millions of likely voters across the country,” said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. “I believe gun owners could provide the winning difference in many parts of the country, especially key battleground states such as Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Wisconsin and Arizona.”
Gottlieb also discussed the importance of the election, especially when it comes to the rights of private gun owners.
“The future of our Second Amendment is on the line next Tuesday,” he added. “America’s gun owners have the opportunity to make the difference. Elections matter and they have consequences. The next president will make judicial appointments, which could include filling Supreme Court vacancies. It is imperative that gun owners keep this in mind when casting their ballots. The next president will appoint heads of the Justice Department, FBI and ATF. These people will set policies directly affecting America’s hunters, competitive shooters and all men and women who own, or hope to buy, guns to protect their families and homes.
“It should be clear by now which candidate has the interests, and rights, of gun owners as a priority and who doesn’t,” he observed. “Kamala Harris has a history of supporting restrictive gun ban and control policies, and despite her claim to be a gun owner, when it comes to Second Amendment issues, she can’t shoot straight. Her running mate, Tim Walz—despite his reputation as an avid hunter—recently demonstrated in a video he has trouble loading his own shotgun.”
He continued, “Trump has already shown his preference for appointing judges, including Supreme Court justices, who adhere to the Constitution and the next four years are certain to provide more opportunities to fill important vacancies up and down the court ladder.
“Gun owners need to vote,” he concluded. “This is not the time to let apathy and lethargy keep you away from the polls. The Second Amendment matters now more than ever.”
A spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) joins us now to discuss the matter further.
