US Elections 2024: Donald Trump pledges to roll back Joe Biden’s gun controls if elected, accepts gun lobby endorsement

Live Mint  

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pledged to unravel gun regulations put in place by Democratic President Joe Biden during a lengthy speech to the National Rifle Association on Saturday, during which he accepted the influential group's endorsement. "We've got to get gun owners to vote," Trump said in his wide-ranging speech, which covered everything from his criminal trials to trade and immigration over more than 90 minutes. Following the speech, the Biden campaign accused Trump of prioritizing the desires of the gun lobby over public safety. "Tonight, Donald Trump confirmed that he will do exactly what the NRA tells him to do - even if it means more death, more shootings, and more suffering," Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said.
