A frequent speaker at National Rifle Association conferences, Jindal has compared the rights of gun ownership to religious liberty and has said the struggle to preserve and expand gun access is a pivotal fight that could last another generation.
As governor, he has signed several gun bills into law, including a measure that prevents anyone from publishing concealed handgun permit information.

Yes, we proudly love our guns and religion
Jindal at times has cast himself as a proud good old boy, sneering back at the coastal elites. "He characterized folks like us--like you and me--as unsophisticated ingrates who were, and I quote, bitterly clinging to our guns and religion,"
Jindal said, talking about Obama at the CPAC conference in 2012. "He was exactly right about us. In Louisiana and all across America, we love us some guns and religion."
