If you thought it wouldn’t be possible for former President Donald Trump to pick a running mate that gun-ban groups would hate as much as Trump himself, well, think again.

On Monday, Trump named Republican U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate in his quest for a second term. And a look at Vance’s record on guns and gun control reveals that he is a very strong proponent of gun owners’ rights.

“Joe Biden and anti-democracy multinational companies are trying to find new ways to take guns away from law-abiding citizens,” Vance said when running for the Senate in 2021. “They’re making it harder to buy firearms and ammunition, and imposing new, unconstitutional regulations on American citizens. I will fight the gun grabbers, whether they’re federal bureaucrats enacting regulations or multinational companies punishing people for exercising their rights.”

In a guest column for the Columbus Dispatch in July 2021, Vance wrote of growing up using firearms and of an “unholy alliance” coming for our guns.
