NRA endorses Trump for President

[Charles L. Cotton]

Here's a link to Trump's speech at the NRA Leadership Forum last Friday. Trump has been an NRA Member for a long time, as are his sons. A good while back, he said he didn't see why citizens need "assault rifles." His sons talked him about the issue, and said other things I won't publish, and they changed his mind on the issue. He was educated on the issue by his sons and changed his mind. That's not flip-flopping as some underground Hillary supporters claim.

As Chris Cox said today in the NRA Board Meeting, no Republican presidential candidate from Eisenhower on has taken as strong a stand for the Second Amendment as has Donald Trump.

I am willing to give city slickers a pass on the whole "Assault weapon" thing. Being a city person, they cannot fathom a use for a semi-auto rifle like an AR or AK, and I bet that there is not a single place to legally shoot one in the 5 Boroughs anyway. So, unless they own a ranch out in the woods and spend time out walking around among potentially dangerous animals (both 2 legs and 4)... I can see how they feel that "no one needs an assault weapon". To me, it is how they adapt their attitude after hearing the pro-gun side of the argument. If Trump sat down with the NRA and was still against them, then I would be concerned.

One thing, I do not think that that the NRA sat down with Trump and showed him a pile of money and said "Change your tune and this is for you, don't change your tune and we will sink you."

I am still in shock that after 7 years of belly aching about how bad Obama is, all the Republicans could come up with that they think is a nudge better is Trump. I realize that the folks here are largely one-issue voters, but there are potentially so many other concerns that he could foul up...the nation is in trouble.

On the bright side, there are many, many things he could correct for generations. With the opportunity to appoint 3 to 4 Supreme Court justices, he could prevent a generation of progressive legislation from deteriorating our liberties...... and not just the 2nd Amendment.

^^^^^^^^^^ Exactly.
