Reason #5533 That Trump Was Elected

Trump: ‘eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms’ is over

Today, President Trump became the first president since Ronald Reagan to speak to the National Rifle Association. His message was simple: The Obama era is over and gun owners now have a “true friend” in the White House. From NBC News:

“The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end,” Trump told the members of the National Rifle Association, assuring them that they now “have a true friend and champion in the White House.”
“I will never, ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms,” Trump said. “Never ever.”

After a minute’s long rehash of his election victory, Trump said, “You came through for me and I am going to come through for you.” “No longer will the government be trying to undermine your rights and freedoms as Americans,” Trump said.

It's no secret that gun control is hot button issue, and nobody who values the right to keep and bear arms would trust Hillary or any other democrat on this issue. Trump is probably squishier than I'd like, but hell of a lot reflexively anti-gun than Hillary.
