Donald Trump Jr. is launching his new gun-rights group that will fight for Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
Aptly called the Second Amendment Task Force, Trump Jr, who will serve as the group’s chairman, said that his group aims to combat Democratic gun control efforts.
We Build the Wall leveraged Fox media coverage and pro-Trump figures to boost their fundraising.

“The Second Amendment is the whole ballgame; it’s the freedom that protects all of our other freedoms,” Trump Jr. told Fox News. ”Unfortunately the Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress are hellbent on eroding our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, whether it’s nominating radical gun-grabbers to senior positions in the executive branch or pushing anti-gun legislation.”
“The Second Amendment Task Force is entirely devoted to ensuring the Left is never successful in disarming American citizens,” he added.
Trump Jr’s group is the first advocacy group that is directly linked to former President Donald Trump and the group plans to make a push in the upcoming midterm elections this November.
The Second Amendment Task Force will also fight against President Joe Biden’s nominees and legislative initiatives that could affect Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
Trump Jr. cites the time he opposed Biden’s U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) nominee David Chipman for his inspiration to launch the group.
“The idea for the group came from our successful effort to stop a radical anti-gun lobbyist from becoming the head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF),” the former president’s son said.
“We had to make sure that the American people knew what was going on, especially with Red State Democrats. If they’re considering casting an anti-Second Amendment vote, we’re going to make sure they feel the pain. This new group will help us put more structure and resources around those efforts to make sure we’re as successful as we can be,” he continued.
The Second Amendment Task Force plans to build its operation around Trump’s high social media visibility and following, fulfilling Trump Jr’s promise that he would be “everywhere” in the 2022 midterm elections cycle when said it at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas last year.
