Groups such as Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the DNC platform shows the Democrat’s proposals “run afoul” with Second Amendment protections. The platform stated that Democrats would “pass a national red flag law to prevent tragedies by keeping weapons out of dangerous hands,” and would increase ATF funding for “enforcement and prosecution,” according to the platform released ahead of the convention beginning August 19.
The DNC also restated their 2020 platform’s support for an “assault weapons” ban, “high-capacity” magazine ban, stripping liability protections from gun manufacturers and requiring “safe” gun storage.
“Tim Walz lied when he said ‘no one wants to take your guns’ and that could not be made more clear by this DNC platform, which is loaded with blatantly unconstitutional policies that won’t do anything to stop crime or make America safer,” Aidan Johnston, director of federal affairs at Gun Owners of America (GOA) told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “GOA just hosted our inaugural convention down in Knoxville, and it’s clear based on the response from thousands of our members that they’re fired up heading into this election—gun owners know the Second Amendment is on the ballot. We will continue to push back on this DNC agenda through campaign action, lobbying efforts, and if necessary, legal challenges in defense of Americans’ Second Amendment rights. We cannot afford to compromise.”
