Although the Project 2025 document is 922 pages long, the Republicans who wrote it don’t talk about the problem of gun violence and mass shootings in any way.
JD Vance is clearly all in on guns. A day after a gunman tried to assassinate Donald Trump, the Republican National Convention laughed and applauded as Vance told a story about finding 19 loaded handguns in his grandmother's house.
“My mamaw died […] in 2005, and when we went through her things, we found 19 loaded handguns. The thing is, they were stashed all over her house—under her bed, in her closet, in the silverware drawer. […] This frail old woman made sure that no matter where she was, she was within arm’s length of whatever she needed to protect her family. That’s who we fight for. That’s American spirit.”
JD Vance
The Project 2025 plan itself shows that Republicans are far more concerned about stopping “woke” speech than gun control.
The only time they mention guns is to say that employees at companies shouldn't let their personal beliefs about things like “gun manufacturing” affect the company's profits.
The business of American business is business, not ideology. The privileges extended to corporations in American society come with the expectation that they will pursue profits for shareholders, bringing about economic growth. Managers, particularly in publicly traded corporations, who use their power to advance sets of fashionable moral beliefs [...] appropriate corporate wealth for their own benefit.
Cancel Culture, Collusion, and Commerce. […] The government…already regulates activities such as fossil fuel extraction and gun manufacturing. Businesses, particularly those that enjoy certain government privileges or relationships and/ or market power, should not replace democratic decision-making with their own judgment on controversial matters.
![A set of bar graphs depicting the effects of overtime on a worker's paycheck. At the top, a snippet from Project 2025 reads: "Attention: Republican Agenda. Specifically, employers...should be able to set a two or four week period over which to calculate overtime. This...would not require the employer to pay [employees] more for that same total number of hours of work during the entire period."
Underneath on the left is a set of green bars depicting Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and Week 4.
In Week One, there is a darker shaded section pointing out that the worker has worked more than 40 hours and is eligible for overtime.
Week 2 is a little less than 40 hours, and the last two weeks are normal (40 hours).
At the bottom of this set of bars, a summary reads: "You're paid overtime for EVERY week over time, regardless of other weeks."
On the right, a set of red bar graphs depicting Week 1 through 4. In Week 1, the employee has clearly worked more than 40 hours based on the long bar, but there is no overtime shading.
Week 2 is less than 40, and Week 3 and 4 are both 40.
At the bottom of this set of bars, a summary reads: "Your employer will AVERAGE weeks together...and you won't get paid."
A Republican win in November means: Same hours. No overtime.
