Gun Owners of America warn Trump: We don’t support your gun-control legislation
August 6, 2019 | Samantha Chang
A gun rights group warned President Donald Trump that he could alienate some of his base by passing overly restrictive gun-control laws in the wake of the El Paso and Ohio mass shootings.
The Gun Owners of America (GOA) has more than 2 million members nationwide. The Second-Amendment advocacy group urged Trump to reject calls for more gun control following the twin weekend shootings.
“We think it’s important for Congress and the President to know that gun owners do not support the gun control measures Trump is advocating,†GOA vice president Erich Pratt told the Daily Caller.
Pratt worries that Trump is becoming like past presidents, who started pushing for more gun control following shootings. Keep in mind that multiple shootings occur every weekend in the Democratic-led city of Chicago — which has among the toughest gun-control laws in the United States.
