President Trump highlighted his support for Second Amendment protections on Tuesday in a pitch to Catholic voters.

“These people are going to take all of your rights away, including Second Amendment, because, you know, Catholics like their Second Amendment,” Trump told the Eternal Word Television Network, a Catholic news network. “So I saved the Second Amendment. If I wasn’t here, you wouldn’t have a Second Amendment.”
