US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his support for the Second Amendment — which guarantees the right to keep and bear arms — on Thursday (local time), saying that right "shall never be infringed."
Trump made the remarks at a White House Rose Garden dinner he hosted for representatives of hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation groups and companies. "We are keeping the Second Amendment going," he said. "It's a really tough fight."
He then doubled down, saying, "As your president, I will always protect your Second Amendment" and that "the right to keep and bear arms shall never be infringed."
The Second Amendment states that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Trump also signed two executive orders at the event aimed at expanding outdoor leisure activities such as hunting and fishing, calling them "a historic victory for American sportsmen."
On the specifics, Trump said his administration would "open up millions of acres of federal land for hunters and fishermen," adding that "public lands belong to the American people and the public, and hunters, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts should have access to them."
He also described an executive order rolling back regulations on saltwater recreational fishing and the boating industry, saying it would eliminate "ridiculous federal regulations on saltwater fishermen, boaters, charter captains and coastal communities."
About 100 representatives from outdoor groups and companies attended the event, including the National Rifle Association and Bass Pro Shops, the largest outdoor retail chain in the United States.
