“As an FFL and gun range owner in NYC, I want to do my part in getting the vote out for Donald Trump. It is especially important that gun owners vote to protect our right to keep and bear arms. Since August, I have helped over 300 people register to vote, and I hope to double this number before the election, which is only a few weeks away. I urge every FFL and gun range owner in every state to follow my example and do the same. Together, we will make a difference, especially in the swing states that have so many gun owners who don’t vote. A Trump win is critical!”

~Message from John Deloca, owner and operator of Seneca Sporting Range, located in Ridgewood, Queens, New York.

Getting Donald Trump elected this November comes down to a “numbers” game. John Deloca, for one, is doing his part to ensure Trump wins this November, but he cannot go it alone. He can only pave the way for others to follow, and he is doing that.

Over 10 million gun owners have not registered to vote in this 2024 U.S. Presidential election.

Alan M. Gottlieb, Founder & Executive Vice President of the Second Amendment Foundation and Chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, points out how disconcerting it is that “with Americans’ fundamental right to own firearms under direct threat in this election year, it is amazing that 10 million gun owners are not even registered to vote.”

Mr. Gottlieb continues with an observation about the Democrat Party candidate, Kamala Harris, and the inference to be drawn from that observation,

“One presidential candidate has threatened to impose mandatory ‘gun buybacks’ on 100 million law-abiding Americans. That is raw authoritarianism, and the best way to fight it is with the votes of every legal gun owner in our beloved nation.

But the preservation of our most important fundamental right is well-nigh impossible, with millions of gun owners disdaining the act of voting—a form of speech that is not to be taken lightly. Is taking up arms against tyranny preferable when tyranny can be effectively defeated at the ballot box and at significantly less cost?

These 10 million unregistered gun owners (and there are likely many more) who act so dismissively toward the upcoming 2024 U.S. Presidential Election probably include many of the same individuals who did not register to vote in the 2020 election.

Had they done so, the result would have been an election win for Donald Trump “Too Big To Rig.”

America’s gun owners lost their chance in 2020. They can make things right this go-around, but only if they make a concerted effort—THIS TIME—to register to vote and cast their ballot for Donald Trump. Rarely do people get a second chance. They better take it. They should not expect a third. There won’t be any.

The 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION MUST BE AN ELECTION—AS TRUMP SAYS PLAINLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY— “TOO BIG TO RIG!”

With the upcoming election on a razor’s edge and a Republican National Committee (RNC) proactively engaged in ensuring the integrity of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, Democrats and their proxies must operate more circumspectly and less boldly in attempting to rig this Election.

“Too Big To Rig” is Trump’s salient message. And it should be every gun owner’s mantra. That is how America’s True Patriots will take back their Country from those who seek to eviscerate it.

Georgia is a particular sore spot. Democrats flipped the State for Biden in 2020 by a mere 12,300 votes out of nearly 5 million votes cast!

In 2024, there were (and maybe there still are) over 350,000 unregistered gun owners in Georgia. How many of those Georgia gun owners failed to cast a ballot for Trump in 2020?

TOO MANY GUN OWNERS SHY AWAY FROM VOTING, UNLIKE THOSE WHO ABHOR GUNS AND WHO ARE CONTEMPTUOUS OF GUN OWNERS

Perhaps no topic divides voters more deeply than the role that firearms have in American life.

By overwhelming margins, Joe Biden’s supporters prioritize gun control over gun rights and say gun ownership does more to reduce than increase safety; roughly eight in ten Biden supporters (83%) say the increase in guns in the U.S. is at least somewhat bad for society.

By comparable or even somewhat larger margins, Donald Trump’s supporters express opposing views on all three measures [See Pew Research Study].

Although New York isn’t considered a “Swing State,” every State is important in this election. Trump hasn’t ignored any State, and no gun owner should either. Yet, many do. They take the position that their State will swing for Trump and, therefore, Trump does not need their vote, or they take the position their State is going for Harris, so their vote is tantamount to a futile gesture. In either instance, the gun owner’s logic is faulty. And that faultiness can mean Trump loses the election. And that entails a bigger loss for the Country.

John Deloca is not presuming Harris will take New York.

In fact, Trump is mindful that many Democrats in New York, and around the Country, are looking at the condition of their home State and the Nation. They are not pleased by what they are seeing. Many are rethinking their continuous commitment to their Party. But will those Democrats actually vote for Trump?

John Deloca, for his part, is not relying on what disaffected Democrats may or may not do. He is actively assisting New York gun owners to register so they can vote for Trump and preserve their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Every vote of a gun owner counts in a major way. John knows that, and Trump knows that, and YOU should know that, too!

John is doing everything he can to make a Trump victory happen. He blasted out a News Release, informing New Yorkers of a special meeting to be held at Seneca Sporting Range on August 17, 2024.

The purpose of the meeting was to explain a notice issued by the NYPD titled “Adoption Of Emergency Rules Relating To Non-Resident Applicants For Carry Licenses And To Purchase And Registration Authorizations.”

Fortunately, John doesn’t stand alone in this critically important endeavor in protecting an American citizen’s right to keep and bear arms. One powerful voice in support of our cherished right is that of Sheriff Rich Giardino of Fulton County, New York.

During the Seneca Sporting Range event presentation, Stephen played a recent interview with Fulton County Sheriff Rich Giardino on the Rich Giardino Show. The interview discussed the importance of gun owners registering and voting as soon as possible. Please watch or listen to the interview on the Rich Giardino Show, which can be found on X, Apple, YouTube, Facebook, and Spotify.

The purpose of the event hosted by Seneca Sporting Range was not limited to an academic discussion of the importance of our fundamental, unalienable right to armed self-defense. For that means little if a powerful, treacherous Government can shred it. Americans must play an active part in protecting their cherished right.

The most important task one can undertake to protect one’s unalienable right to armed self-defense is also the easiest one to perform: Registering to vote and then making a point to cast a ballot for that candidate who will defend that right.

Of the two candidates for U.S. President in this election, one candidate will preserve and strengthen that right. That person is Donald Trump. The other candidate has made plain her intention to constrict the exercise of that right to the point of eradicating it. That person is Kamala Harris.

At the event, John Deloca provided the attendees with a voter registration form and assisted them in completing the form and submitting it to the NYC Board of Elections. John has since helped over 300 New Yorkers register and continues in this endeavor.

AMERICA’S GUN OWNERS MUST NOT SIT THIS ELECTION OUT

It is unforgivable for gun owners to sit out this election, given the stakes. They must vote. FFLs in New York and across the country can and should take an active role in getting gun owners to vote.

These FFLs can take their cue from Seneca Sporting Range’s John Deloca.

“As of June 2021, the ATF has reported that there are 133,716 FFLs in all 50 states, districts, and territories across all nine different types that are available,” with 3,897 in New York alone. See the FFL Report. See also the article in Orchid Advisers.

Imagine if every FFL dealer in New York alone would register just ten gun owners to vote. That would amount to close to 40,000 additional citizens who could cast their vote for Trump. If all FFLs in the Country registered just ten voters, that would mean close to 1.4 million additional votes for Trump. That is certainly doable and would make a difference in the election.

John Deloca has paved the way for other FFL gun dealers to follow. But time is quickly running out. The upcoming U.S. Presidential election is only a few short weeks away.

The Democrats, plainly concerned that voter support for Harris/Walz is collapsing just a few weeks before the election, are hoping that voter turnout for Trump—millions of gun owners—will simply fail to happen.

If we lose this election, that will break the back of our Republic, and our Bill of Rights will be erased.

Simply wishing the best for Trump and for our Country and doing nothing to ensure he prevails is a major cop-out and the surest way to see the Marxist puppet, Kamala Harris, seated in the White House—a circumstance that most of the Electorate doesn’t want but an unhappy situation that will transpire if gun owners refrain from voting, whether due to laziness or through some lame excuse they concoct.

Each vote by a gun owner does count: one plus one plus one plus one. . . and so on. . . equals millions more votes for Trump, even tens of millions—a true landslide, a thing “Too Big To Rig.”

In 1984, Ronald Reagan won 525 electoral votes, crushing the Democrat Walter Mondale. The Democrats took only Minnesota and the District of Columbia in that election cycle.

Republicans cannot be expected to duplicate Reagan’s feat. But a concerted effort by America’s massive base of gun owners can still result in a convincing victory for Trump and our Nation.

Every American gun owner who, by State or Federal Law, is not prohibited from lawfully owning a firearm and who happens to own one or more firearms, has a personal stake in the upcoming 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.

The momentum is with Trump. He can win this election, and he must win it, for our own sake, for that of our Country, and for future generations of Americans. Let’s make this happen!
