Despite Election Loss, Gun-Ban Groups Vow To Continue Fight Against Your 2A Rights 

With gun owners pushing former President Donald Trump over the top in last week’s election, gun-ban organizations, still reeling from the loss, are promising to work harder than ever to force more gun control on lawful American gun owners.

With Trump winning the presidency and Republicans retaking the majority in the U.S. Senate, gun-banners, accustomed to a Democrat Senate and President Joe Biden in charge, have been put in a quandary. And if Republicans manage to keep control of the U.S. House of Representatives (current counts show they have 214 of the 218 needed seats, with some states still counting votes), anti-gun groups will be at even more of a disadvantage.

Despite that overwhelming mandate, several organizations have released statements stating that they are keeping their sights directly on the right to keep and bear arms.

One such group, so-called Moms Demand Action, claims to have beaten Trump on gun control in the past, although it’s unclear when that happened.

“Nothing will stop us from fighting for the safety of our kids and communities,” the group posted on X, formerly Twitter. “We’ve been up against and beaten Trump’s extremist agenda before, and we’ll do it again.

“Our army of over 10 million supporters are ready to fight like hell against President Trump and his lawmaker allies if they attempt to undo our progress or push legislation that would make us less safe. With the overwhelming majority of Americans who support strong gun safety laws behind us, we will win.”

Of course, if the majority of Americans had supported the group’s agenda, Trump would likely not have been reelected. But I digress.

So-called Everytown for Gun Safety, which called the election results “devastating,” also took to X to vow their continued battle for further infringements.

“Make no mistake: Trump’s extremist agenda is a danger for our nation, but it means we’ll double down on our efforts to protect our communities and continue to make progress, just like we did in 2016,” the group posted. “The momentum of the gun safety movement can’t be stopped. Gun violence isn’t a left or right issue, it’s a life-or-death issue. We can and will overcome this—together.”

Not to miss a chance to bolster its coffers, however, Everytown used the loss of the White House to try to raise funds from supporters—a scheme likely spawned by their boss, Michael Bloomberg, spending millions on the election in an attempt to get anti-gun candidates elected.

Of course, the anti-gun group Brady, formerly Handgun Control Inc. until it decided to hide its true agenda by changing its name, also got in on the action.

“The election of Donald Trump is deeply troubling for our safety and freedom from gun violence,” Brady President Kris Brown said in a released statement. “And that’s why we are doubling down on our work and fighting harder than ever.

“So even though we won’t have a friend in the White House, Brady isn’t giving up an inch.”

In a long, rambling statement on the Giffords website, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords tried to make the election results seem to be about anything but guns.

“Now is the time for taking a stand—together—against division, against hatred and against the erosion of truth,” she said. “And to women everywhere: I won’t rest until every one of our rights and freedoms has been restored.”

Interestingly, she did not mention any efforts she would make to help restore the Second Amendment rights of those “women everywhere” she claimed to be addressing.
