Donald Trump Receives Warm Welcome from Gun-Rights Activists at NRA Annual Meeting, Vows to Defend and Expand Gun-Rights if Elected in 2024.

Former President Donald Trump received a warm welcome from gun-rights activists at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Indianapolis on Friday. Trump, who was the most pro-gun president in the White House, vowed to defend and expand gun-rights if he is elected in 2024.

“I was proud to be the most pro-gun, pro-Second Amendment president you’ve ever had in the White House,” Trump said to an audience that leapt to its feet, cheered and chanted “U-S-A” when he was introduced.

The event also featured former Vice President Mike Pence, who was met with a chorus of boos upon taking the stage. Pence recently agreed to stop challenging a subpoena for him to testify in an investigation of former President Donald Trump’s actions before and during the insurrection in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.

The NRA event comes amid a backdrop of recent mass shootings in Tennessee and Kentucky. Trump’s speech was met with enthusiasm from the crowd, and he promised to be a “loyal friend and fearless champion” if elected in 2024.

The NRA event was an opportunity for the 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls and possible candidates to pledge their loyalty to the gun-rights organization. Trump’s speech was seen as a way to rally support for his potential candidacy in the upcoming election.
