Top Republican hopefuls for 2024 presidential race vow at NRA annual convention to defend Second Amendment amid a spate of mass shootings in the world's most heavily armed country
Top Republican hopefuls for the 2024 presidential race have vowed at the National Rifle Association's [NRA] annual convention to defend the Second Amendment at all costs, suggesting that new firearms restrictions in the wake of mass shootings in the country would only hurt law-abiding gun owners.
Instead of fewer guns, former vice president Mike Pence called for more institutions for the mentally ill and federal funding for armed school officers. Pence noted shootings at a Louisville, Kentucky, bank that killed five people this week and at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 27 that killed three 9-year-olds and three staff members, but he said, 'We don’t need gun control. We need crime control."
Pain over the Louisville and Nashville shooting rampages has crossed party lines. Kentucky Democratic Governor Andy Beshear talked about having a friend killed in the Louisville shooting, while Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee said he had friends killed during the Nashville school attack.
