    Question Why is RNC not pushing a pro-gun rights platform this year?

    The Dems are pushing an anti-gun platform but the Republicans can't at least counter it?

    Never interrupt an enemy while he is making a mistake.

    Millions of new gun owners who used to lean Demoncrat/anti-gun hear the Demoncrats wanting to disarm them while communist hordes roam the land looting, killing and burning.

    If Republicans say much it will distract from the Demoncrats.

    Powerful words.

    But to give credit where due, progressve social liberal donor funded Republican administration and its allies have been countering NRA leadership and Steve Bannon's Wall building quite agressively.

    Trump was talking about taking them out of the hands of criminals. Democrats will have mandatory buy backs which is mandatory confiscation. If people want to sell their guns that's selling their guns if something is mandatory its just confiscating with extra steps. This is why the democrats are the real nazis. They are pushing for national socialism. With Trump there will be no mandatory confiscation. That's why the democrats must lose in order for America to win.

    The RNC is backing President Donnell Trump's agenda which includes Take the Guns First.

    That's the democrats agenda. Trump isn't going to make Americans give up their second amendment. Trump's not going to take the guns from law abiding citizens or criminalize normal behavior to have an excuse to take away peoples guns. He said to stop someone from murdering you take their gun before they shoot.

    They definitely should with all the craziness that's been going on the past couple months.

    It's my understanding that RNC has no "official" platform this year, that it is just adopting Trump's second term agenda as it's platform.

    Pretty sure they did the same thing in 1984 with Reagan.

    I would guess that at tonight's RNC acceptance speech, Trump will reference gun rights and announce his strong support of the Second Amendment.

    They have mentioned right to bear arms plenty of times in RNC

    No reason to go overboard with it imo

    The GOP seems to be doing this weird thing where they run to the left of Biden, trying to attack him for the crime bill and touting half-cocked "justice reform." I still think Trump will win as it stands, but it's a lousy strategy. Every good thing Trump does is half of what's necessary.

    Bad optics in these times. Assuming Trump even wants to win.

    Doesn't really matter much I guess. Neither D's or R's will accept the results.

    Winner!

    Gun sales have never been higher and many are first time gun owning Democrats... or former Democrats.

    Reeks of Minority Report. I don't like the kind of rabbit hole that taking away people's rights to prevent them from commiting crimes leads down.

    How else do you stop a shooter besides shooting them first?

    No, I want to stop them as soon as they start committing the crime.

    Just goes to show that Democrats are the best gun salesmen.
