Former President Donald Trump (R) delivered stirring remarks about your Second Amendment rights at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas this past week.

“The same far-left Democrats who are defunding police are also leading an all-out crusade to strip you, the law-abiding citizens of America, of your God-given Second Amendment rights,” said Trump. He went on to add that we “must never waver in demanding that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Also, at a recent rally in Wellington, Ohio, Trump said, “If you remember, when I was campaigning against Joe Biden, I said, ‘They are going to take away your guns’ and ‘Your Second Amendment is under siege.’”

Trump is clearly right.

Already, President Joe Biden (D) has made it clear his administration is the most anti-Second Amendment to date. Biden has sought to ban commonly owned rifles, to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, and so much more, all while repeatedly telling lie after lie in the process.

In the lead up to last fall’s election, Trump was blunt and concise about what would potentially happen should Biden take office, a message that rings true with his recent words. “If Joe Biden gets in, your Second Amendment is gone. It’s gone—either obliterated to a point of being gone or gone itself,” said Trump at a campaign event last September.

And in an exclusive Oval Office interview last year with America’s 1st Freedom Editor in Chief, Frank Miniter, Trump said, “I respect American freedom. Biden wants to take it away. We won’t have a Second Amendment if he is elected.”

The former president has never been one to mince his words, and his previous warnings of what the Biden administration intends to do with your rights remain a dire concern.

As he said, though, we must not waver in defense of our Second Amendment rights. If you’re wondering how to do just that, an imperative first step would be standing against Biden’s radical nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, David Chipman. Should Chipman be confirmed, the ominous future Trump warned of could certainly become a reality.

President’s Column | What a Year It Has Been!

Wow! How fast a year has gone by since being elected president at the end of April last year! My first column was titled “It’s A New Day At The NRA,” and included the following:

Standing Guard | We Are the Good Citizens

I am a big believer in transparency. Each individual needs privacy from unconstitutional government intrusion—this especially includes what guns a law-abiding American citizen might own—but an association of freedom-loving citizens must be transparent.

On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani. The case involves a defendant who is fighting a federal indictment for possessing a firearm while being a marijuana user.

A lot of things have occurred over the past month or so that not all members are completely aware of. I’ll use my column this month to update you on some important issues—transparency.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
