NRA endorses Trump

The National Rifle Association endorsed Donald Trump Friday, ahead of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s address to the group.

Executive Director Chris Cox announced the endorsement as he introduced the billionaire businessman, who was set to speak at the NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) leadership forum in Louisville, Ky.

“I’m officially announcing the NRA’s endorsement of Donald Trump for president,” Cox said.

The NRA's endorsement comes significantly earlier in the election cycle than previous endorsements by the group. The group did not endorse 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney until October 2012.

However, officials told Fox News ahead of the announcement there is an excitement for Trump among their members that they did not see for Romney or 2008 nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

The more endorsements from good groups the better.  The endorsement may help get some voters to go with Trump. 

I don't like Trump but I hate Hillary..........easy choice between the 2.  At this point I have no choice but to hope Trump gets in and not Hillary. :twocents:

Nothing wrong with that especially the way Hillary and her daughter are attacking the NRA.  Give Hillary & Chelsey something else to gripe about.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

 :hello:

I've been speaking against the sellouts at NRA for years and everybody knows it. Come see me when Gun Owners endorses @Lyin'Trump, who impersonates his own publicist and talks himself up to the media.

We're going to have a president. 

It will be one of two people and that person will select the supreme court justice that breaks the 4-4 deadlock.

If gun rights are your issue, the choice is about as easy as it gets.  It really is that simple.

:yeah:
Even if you don't believe Trump and think he's a wildcard, it's still a stretch to make a case more than 50% chance then that he would be anti-gun.  Hillary is easily 100% anti on the issue.

How could you make any case he is anti gun after his NRA speach? His kids are avid hunters and gun enthusiasts. Trump is a CC permit holder himself.

He still has a past, being chummy with the Clintons, supporting the 94 ban, his issues with eminent domain.  I know his platform now is further in line with conservatives.  But the guy is still a bit of a wildcard.  Even if he's duping folks, I still think it is a weak case to claim he's anti-gun.  Yet we know without a doubt that Hillary is.

A third party candidate can get on the ballot in all 50 states. If that happens and no one reaches 270 electoral votes, the House of Representatives will decide the next POTUS. I'm sure that's a mystery to Mr. Trump, who doesn't seem to have ever read the constitution. He'll talk about how things that never belonged to him in the first place are being stolen from him.
