“Shoot the Vote” is urging hunters, shooters, and everyday gun owners who are, as of yet, unregistered to vote to take time to register and vote to protect the Second Amendment.
The “Shoot the Vote” website provides links that gun owners can use to register to vote and to get involved in efforts to organize for broad-based pro-2A victories.
Just above the links to register to vote and get involved, the website says:
Below are all the resources you need to register to vote, request absentee ballots, and even find ways you can get involved with helping make sure other gun owners, hunters and sportsmen are registered to vote. Together we can make the 2024 election too Big to Rig.
In addition to those not registered to vote, “Shoot the Vote” found that in Arizona alone, “Over 350,000 registered [R]epublicans didn’t vote in the 2022…[midterm] election.” Many of the 350,000 non-voters were “gun owners, hunters, [and] shooters.”
The bottom line, according to “Shoot the Vote,” is simple: “Your grandfather didn’t sleep in a foxhole in a far away land clutching a picture of your [g]randmother so you would surrender your guns.”
On August 8, 2024, Breitbart News reported Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump’s comments that the assassination attempt against him did not change his conviction that the American “people need guns for protection.”
Trump observed that some people want guns for hunting or “entertainment,” but he stressed that the main reason people need guns is “for protection.”
