Trump wins over thousands of ‘rebellious’ gun-rights advocates at NRA convention with 2024 endorsement

Donald Trump rallied “rebellious” gun-rights advocates at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Dallas, urging them to show up at the polls in the upcoming presidential election. Speaking to a crowd of 8,000 NRA members, Trump emphasized the importance of their vote in protecting their rights and liberties.

Acknowledging the group’s reputation for being rebellious, Trump encouraged them to defy their voting patterns and make their voices heard in the election. He accepted the NRA’s endorsement and launched “Gun Owners for Trump,” a coalition aimed at increasing voter registration among gun owners and promoting their support for his campaign.

During his speech, Trump criticized independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., labeling him as “radical left” and contrasting him with the NRA members whom he praised as the backbone of America. He also took aim at President Biden, accusing him of wanting to disarm citizens while allowing violent criminals into the country.

Trump reiterated his commitment to defending gun rights, promising to overturn Biden’s regulations if re-elected. He emphasized the importance of the Second Amendment for safety and highlighted his track record of supporting law-abiding gun owners.

The event marked Trump’s ninth appearance before the NRA, showcasing his continued efforts to court the powerful lobby’s support for his 2024 campaign. As the election season heats up, Trump’s focus on gun rights and the NRA’s endorsement are set to play a significant role in shaping the political landscape.
