I mean, it's not my talking point. 2A is a key plank of the Rebublican platform, regardless of how little they can control Orange Putin. While addressing gun violence is a key plank in the Democrat one. Maybe discerning voters like yourself will change their votes based on this - I doubt any "gun nut" in central PA will. Trump doesn't talk about guns, Biden does. Words speak louder than actions in American politics.
Frankly, I don't think 2A is a topic Trump has an opinion about, or gives much thought to. He'll pass whatever gun legislation he thinks will make him more popular, and after Las Vegas, throwing his weight behind legislation that the NRA itself had advocated and had been in the works for 2 years before he was elected (thanks, Obama!) was an easy win.
To be clear, I'm not a proponent of 2A. While I enjoy the hobby and indulge in ownership, I believe the 2A is anachronistic and unable to satisfy the purbose for which it was made. And we do have a gun violence issue in the US; if it were at all feasible to eliminate the 2A and all guns, I'd support it. I'm just saying that if you ask a random 2A MAGA which candidate is their choice on this point, they'll say "Trump."
