The decision accompanied a series of adjustments to the itinerary and location of the Republican National Convention due to the coronavirus pandemic. The committee decided to reduce the number of in-person delegates attending the convention on its first day in Charlotte, North Carolina, from 2,500 to 336, and to cancel the meeting of the Platform Committee. ... RNC national press secretary Mandi Merritt said, "It would not be right for a very small group to craft a new platform without all of the delegates present."

mauserme Posted August 22, 2020 at 12:37 AM Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 at 12:37 AM The 2016/2020 Rebublican Platform follows, as it relates to gun rights: https://prod-cdn-static.gop.com/static/home/data/platform.pdf Click here for the 2020 Democratic Party Platform thread. Pages 12 - 13 The Second Amendment: Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms We uphold the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, a natural inalienable right that predates the Constitution and is secured by the Second Amendment. Lawful gun ownership enables Americans to exercise their God-given right of selfdefense for the safety of their homes, their loved ones, and their communities. We salute the Republican Congress for defending the right to keep and bear arms by preventing the President from installing a new liberal majority on the Supreme Court. The confirmation to the Court of additional anti-gun justices would eviscerate the Second Amendments fundamental protections. Already, local officials in the nations capital and elsewhere are defying the Courts decisions upholding an individual right to bear arms as affirmed by the Supreme Court in Heller and McDonald. We support firearm reciprocity legislation to recognize the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms to protect themselves and their families in all 50 states. We support constitutional carry statutes and salute the states that have passed them. We oppose ill-conceived laws that would restrict magazine capacity or ban the sale of the most popular and common modern rifle. We also oppose any effort to deprive individuals of their right to keep and bear arms without due process of law. We condemn frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers and the current Administrations illegal harassment of firearm dealers. We oppose federal licensing or registration of law-abiding gun owners, registration of ammunition, and restoration of the ill-fated Clinton gun ban. We call for a thorough investigation by a new Republican administration of the deadly Fast and Furious operation perpetrated by Department of Justice officials who approved and allowed illegal sales of guns to known violent criminals. Page 30 Preserving the District of Columbia ... Since the Supreme Courts decisions affirming the Second Amendment rights of its citizens, city officials have engaged in a campaign of massive resistance by denying virtually all applications for gun ownership. The Republican Congress should be prepared, upon the inauguration of a Republican president, to enact legislation allowing law-abiding Washingtonians to own and carry firearms. ... Page 45 Honoring and Supporting Our Veterans: A Sacred Obligation We will halt the ... unconstitutional automatic denial of gun ownership to returning members of our Armed Forces who have had representatives appointed to manage their financial affairs. platform.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
