President Donald Trump promised attendees at the National Rifle Association's convention Friday afternoon that he will end Joe Biden's war on lawful gun owners.
Highlights from President Trump's speech:
President Trump: "The politically incorrect truth that no one on the left wants to admit is that violent crime is rarely committed by illegal gun owners. It is committed by a brutal class of hardened repeat criminals."
President Trump: "If we can send $120B to Ukraine, then we can afford 1/10th of that amount to protect American children in American schools.”
President Trump: "I promise you this -- with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue no one will lay a finger on your firearms."
President Trump: "We will pass legislation protecting the absolute right to self defense, with federal penalties for prosecutorial abuse like we saw just recently in Texas...A man was trying to defend himself and they want to put him in jail for the rest of his life."
President Trump: "I will ask Congress to send a bill to my desk delivering national concealed carry reciprocity."
President Trump: "I will also create a new tax credit to reimburse any teacher for the full cost of a concealed-carry firearm and training from highly qualified experts."
President Trump: "When the radical left Democrats tried to use COVID to shut down gun sales during the China virus pandemic, I proudly designated gun and ammunition retailers as critical infrastructure."
