https://www.ncja.org/crimeandjusticenews/2024-republican-platform-shifts-drops-gun-rights-promisesIn its first official platform since 2016, the Grand Old Party (GOP) slashed all mention of its gun policy positions, The Reload reports. The Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee voted 84-to-18 on Monday to adopt the new 2024 platform language after skipping the process entirely in 2020. The final document reflects former President Donald Trump's "America First" perspective and echoes many of his positions. However, it reduces the party's focus on gun policy compared to its previous platform. The entire platform discusses gun rights just once, in a preamble statement about the party’s dedication to defending “our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.” The final product omits any discussion of tangible gun policy ideas. The GOP’s 2024 platform being nearly silent on gun policy was not the only instance of the party leaning away from its traditional issues and stances. The updated platform also featured notably softened language on abortion restrictions, a move that reflects former President Trump’s recent sidelining of the pro-life movement. While the party’s 2016 platform endorsed a federal abortion ban after 20 weeks, the updated document codified Trump’s preference to leave the issue to the states. It also endorsed protections for birth control and fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF). The updated platform also removed the party’s previous opposition to same-sex marriage, its emphasis on reducing the national debt, and its vision for entitlement reform. Instead, the platform explicitly called for the complete protection of Social Security and Medicare without any cuts or retirement age adjustments, a longtime Trump priority. The Trump campaign celebrated the final draft of the platform and emphasized the former President’s personal influence on its contents.
>>1311971More than half the country no longer requires a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
>>1311995Dems are anti-gun, Republicans are not pro-gun. They're just less anti-gun.>>1312001This is why I'm not really worried about more gun control. I live in a ban state tho and this shit needs to get to SCOTUS.
>Based Hunter Biden purposely went to prison so that Republicans would drop their gun nut positions Based. BASED. Based.
>>1312039Unless I see Hunter in a cell I will just assume they shipped him off to a Cayman Island to live out his sentence as Joe Leibowitz.
>>1312044Keep deluding yourself. Parkland shooting? Trumps immediate response is gun confiscation. He needs to be talked out of it. Better hope gunfags are surrounding him in office, otherwise we'll see Trump start grabbing guns. He's a NY softie who has never shot in his life.
>>1312072>94 AWBThe one that Reagan called and begged republican senators to vote for?>passed that gun law 2 years agoThe one that Republicans voted for in order for it to pass? Dems constantly put up bills to ban guns. Republicans don't constantly put up bills to overturn state bans or repeal shit like the NFA. Massie is the only one that really understands guns.
>>1312987>The one that Reagan called and begged republican senators to vote for?biden wrote it, every democrat voted for it and clinton signed it. Reagan was a far left jewish democrat communist and I'm glad a communist faggot like him is dead >The one that Republicans voted for in order for it to pass? Dems constantly put up bills to ban guns. Republicans don't constantly put up bills to overturn state bans or repeal shit like the NFA. Massie is the only one that really understands guns.which still makes the GOP the better option than the dems voting for dems = gun bannot voting for the GOP means you get dems means gun ban
>>1311971oh they've been doing that since Reagan. Oddly, they blame them durn Demoncraps, but it's always been Republicans, going back to when Reagan was Governor of California.
>>1312072>in my life timeso you're not even old enough to vote? thanks for that info
for the nth time, shotguns and shells are barely regulated. go to WalMart and load up. it's cheap. only ammosexuals and collectors complain about gun laws. people that use guns already own a shotgun, a 30-06 for hunting.
>>1313043Ahh the duality of the leftist. >vote for us so we can ban guns>actually it's the republicans who ban guns
>>13130471994 was 30 years ago you fucking retard>>1313043the mulford act was passed by a democrat legislature with majority democrat votes. reagan was also a jewish democrat. the fact you need to go back to a law from 1967 that had more dems voting for it than republican really shows how grasping for straws you jewish shills are. the finestine amendment (awb) had 46 dems voting yes and only 10 republicans https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1031/vote_103_1_00375.htmhell literally yesterday during his alzheimer's rage episode brandon said he wanted gun control
>>1313049the 2nd amendment doesn't say jack shit about hunting and the courts have been pretty explicit the 2nd amendment only applies to weapons of war, not hunting guns
>>1313074you know war is just human hunting, right
