this could be a good choice among several possibilities;
If you thought it wouldn’t be possible for former President Donald Trump to pick a running mate that gun-ban groups would hate as much as Trump himself, well, think again.
On Monday, Trump named Republican U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate in his quest for a second term. And a look at Vance’s record on guns and gun control reveals that he is a very strong proponent of gun owners’ rights.
“Joe Biden and anti-democracy multinational companies are trying to find new ways to take guns away from law-abiding citizens,” Vance said when running for the Senate in 2021. “They’re making it harder to buy firearms and ammunition, and imposing new, unconstitutional regulations on American citizens. I will fight the gun grabbers, whether they’re federal bureaucrats enacting regulations or multinational companies punishing people for exercising their rights.”
In a guest column for the Columbus Dispatch in July 2021, Vance wrote of growing up using firearms and of an “unholy alliance” coming for our guns.
“Worryingly, perhaps the biggest threat to the Second Amendment comes not from the Biden Administration, but from some of our biggest companies,” Vance wrote. “Unfortunately, the unholy alliance between government and business won’t stop at the Second Amendment. Eventually, they’ll come for other cherished American liberties, too.”
The next year, Vance questioned whether limiting access to guns would have any effect at all on gun violence, which he said was tied to “inner-city urban crime” and which he said until recently dropped generally over decades during a time when guns became more widely available.
“None of us like the school shootings,” he told Breitbart News. “None of us likes the fact that if you live near a big city, you hear about gun violence nearly every week. So, we have to not take the left’s bait and say, ‘Well, this is going to make us safer at the expense of our Second Amendment rights.’ I don’t think it’s going to do either.”............more........
