Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump has announced the formation of a new organization called the Second Amendment Coalition. It is to be composed of women and men who are grassroots leaders, and elected officials with a record of fighting for the Second Amendment.

This is the first time in history that a candidate from either side of the aisle has put together any such coalition to defend our right to keep and bear arms.

Trump Announces Second Amendment Coalition

Coalition Chairman Donald J. Trump, Jr. tells us the following.

“My father defends the Second Amendment, so that you and I and your spouse and your children can take care of themselves when someone much stronger, much meaner and much more vicious than them tries to break into their home. It's not just a hobby or something I do on the weekends. It's a lifestyle; and as my father often says, ‘this is about self-defense, plain and simple.’ This election isn’t about the next four years. It’s about the next forty years, so voting for Hillary Clinton, or not voting, is simply not an option,” said Coalition Chairman Christopher Cox. “The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that we have a fundamental, individual right to protect ourselves and our families with a firearm in our own homes. Clinton said‘the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment.’ A Clinton Supreme Court means your right to own a firearm is gone. The Second Amendment Coalition for Trump-Pence includes joint Chairmen Donald J. Trump, Jr. and Christopher Cox, and 62 co-chairs. These leaders will continue to advise Mr. Trump and Governor Pence as they protect our Supreme Court and our right to keep and bear arms.”

More from Second Amendment Coalition Chairman Donald J. Trump, Jr.

“Hillary Clinton will appoint radical Supreme Court justices that will virtually abolish the Second Amendment. Hillary Clinton will overturn the Supreme Court ruling that affirmed the Second Amendment as an individual right, so that any city or state in this country can in turn ban private gun ownership. Donald Trump will appoint Supreme Court Justices that will abide by the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States; and that includes upholding the Second Amendment. The people have a clear choice.”

We have to say, the list is impressive. It carries the names of some titans in the industry and some of our personal friends. Donald Jr. has, thus far, impressed us with his knowledge and love of the Second Amendment. Let's hope this becomes a reality. Maybe we can see more regulations turn in our favor.
