00:00I went around the room. Oh, no, one more in the back.
00:02All good. So we know President Trump has been a champion for the 2A ever since he got into office, both times.
00:08My question is, do we see anything, is there any ongoing efforts for national reciprocity so we can carry in all 50 beautiful states?
00:16This is something the president talked about on the campaign trail, for sure.
00:20We need Congress to do it, but the president will always support our law-abiding gun owners
00:25and, as you mentioned, is an ardent supporter of the Second Amendment.
00:28It's more important now than ever, as we see violent crime rates in our inner cities.
00:33I've said this repeatedly over the past four years.
00:36The Second Amendment was never more important than when we had an illegal immigrant crime epidemic spiking in this country.
00:43Law-abiding Americans have a constitutional right to defend themselves, and the president absolutely supports that.
00:48But to national reciprocity, we do need Congress's help on that one.
00:52Thank you, guys. It's so good to see you.
00:55I could go around the room all day, but unfortunately, there's work.
