Former President Trump gave a new oath to members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Friday, promising to strengthen protections for Second Amendment rights if re-elected in November.

“Every promise I made to you as a candidate in 2016, I have delivered on as president,” he added, announcing the appointment of about 300 federal judges and three Supreme Court justices, who he said would “interpret the law.” He called him a “warrior for the defense of the Constitution.” As written. ”

President Trump added, “On the first day of his new term, we will end Joe Biden’s war on legal gun owners.” “It’s war. What they’re doing is crazy.”
