The National Rifle Association’s executive director, Randy Kozuch, announced the organization’s endorsement of Donald Trump for president at the NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits. This doesn’t come as a surprise, as the NRA had previously endorsed Trump during the 2016 and 2020 elections. Trump, addressing the crowd, encouraged gun owners to vote in the upcoming election, portraying them as a “rebellious bunch.” He emphasized the importance of protecting the Second Amendment and warned that President Joe Biden’s administration would pose a threat to gun rights.

In his remarks, Trump reassured the audience that he would staunchly defend the Second Amendment, asserting that it is crucial for safety in the face of criminals who refuse to relinquish their firearms. He criticized Biden’s record of advocating for gun control measures over his decades in politics, insinuating that a Biden presidency would infringe on law-abiding citizens’ right to bear arms. Trump also took aim at independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., condemning his characterization of the NRA as a “terror group” and dismissing his policy positions as radical left.
Aside from the NRA endorsement, Trump’s upcoming engagements, including a speaking engagement at the Libertarian National Convention and a scheduled debate with Biden, were also mentioned. The former president’s message resonated with the audience, aligning with conservative values and principles of individual freedom and self-protection.
