In the event that Joe Biden wins reelection, he issued a grave warning to his presumed opponent in 2024, stating that “your gun rights will be gone.”
During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to protect Americans’ Second Amendment rights and to ensure that his government would not seek to seize firearms.
“For four incredible years, it was my honor to be the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House by far. Now, I stand before you with a very simple promise—your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your President. When I’m back in the Oval Office, no one will lay a finger on your firearms. It’s not going to happen,” At the National Rifle Association (NRA) Presidential Forum in Pennsylvania on February 9, President Trump stated.

He held the Democratic Biden administration responsible for the country becoming a “crime-ridden, gang-infested, terror-filled, dumping ground” and for taking away Americans’ right to bear arms and infringing on their right to self-defense.
It was different, he claimed, throughout the four years of the Trump administration. “And there was great pressure on me having to do with guns. We did nothing.” Giving in to gun control advocates would simply be the start of a “avalanche.”
“Four more years of [President] Joe Biden means four more years of anti-gun communists running the ATF. They’re going to run it. They’re already. They’re running it now, just in case you have any questions. But it means hundreds of more radical left judges waging a crusade against law-abiding gun owners,” Speaking about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, President Trump remarked.
“And four more years of Joe Biden means a nonstop war on gun makers, dealers, and sellers, designed to put the entire industry right out of business,” he said.
The outgoing president said that he was the “only thing” preventing Americans from having their Second Amendment rights completely destroyed. “I’m the only thing … If Joe Biden is reelected, your gun rights will be gone.”
“The sad part of that is the bad guys aren’t giving up their guns. … But the good people aren’t giving up their guns either. Because there’s never going to be anybody that’s going to be asking for your gun. And when I’m reelected, every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day.”

Notably, during his first term in office, President Trump named almost “300 pro-constitution judges to interpret the law as written.” The previous president removed the United States’ signature from the “globalist United Nations arms trade treaty where basically they take your guns.”

“They said, ‘you can’t do that, sir. All countries are signing that.’ Well, number one, all countries didn’t sign. And most of the countries that signed didn’t adhere to it anyway. But we would have. I said, ‘no, we’re not doing it.’ Even the NRA officers were surprised at that one,” President Trump stated.
“I stood up for our hunters, fishers, and sportsmen like no one has ever done before, opening up millions and millions of acres of federal land and rolling back [former President Barack] Obama’s assault on hunting, fishing, trapping, and ammunition.”
The Gun Policies of Biden
The “vicious zero-tolerance policy” of the current Biden administration was another point of emphasis for President Trump in his speech. The regulation, which has to do with revoking licenses for handgun sellers, was first revealed back in 2021.
“Revocation is the assumed action” for a weapon seller found in violation of any regulation judged to materially impair public safety or the agency’s capacity to track down firearms recovered from violent crimes, according to ATF papers.
President Trump stated to the assembly that the policy “revokes the license of independent firearms dealers if they make a single minor error, little tiny error, they’re out of business.”
He also took issue with the federal government’s “so-called pistol-brace rule, which orders law-abiding citizens to register or surrender guns with certain equipment.”
The initial goal of the ATF’s pistol brace rule was to make it illegal to possess a handgun stabilizing brace after May 31st of last year.
Gun owners were considered to be in possession of contraband and might be arrested if they did not destroy, surrender, or register their braces with the government by May 31. There is a current court struggle on the matter.
A federal court in Texas granted a countrywide stay on the ATF rule in December. But this month, a federal appeals court decided not to put the regulation on hold.
“Biden is trying to ban all private gun transfers in the United States with the stroke of a pen,” President Trump told the crowd in Pennsylvania. “Under a Trump administration, all of those Biden disasters get ripped up and torn out. My first week, but maybe my first day in office.”
He promised to restructure the Department of Justice under his presidency. “To clear out all the communists who have weaponized government activities and gone against conservatives and gun owners. And we will replace them with relentless crime fighters on a mission to put dangerous criminals behind bars.”
President Biden signed an executive order pertaining to gun control in March of last year. “with the goal of increasing the number of background checks conducted before firearm sales.” The order also aimed to “strengthen efforts to hold the gun industry accountable.”
Recent information from the whistleblower organization Empower Oversight Whistleblowers & Research revealed that the Biden administration was working on a document that would require background checks for all gun purchases, even those between private citizens.
The organization said in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland that the proposed regulation is an abuse of the authority of the executive branch and “would also clearly violate the Second Amendment.”
