Gun rights group NRA endorses Trump for US president

The National Rifle Association on Friday endorsed Donald Trump for US president, saying it was time to unite behind the Republican or "kiss your guns goodbye" if Hillary Clinton is elected.

"We have to unite and we have to unite right now," Chris Cox, head of the NRA's lobbying arm, said at the gun rights group's annual convention in Louisville, Kentucky.

"So on behalf of the thousands of patriots in this room, the five million NRA members across this country, and the tens of millions who support us, I'm officially announcing the NRA's endorsement of Donald Trump for president."

The NRA's endorsement of a Republican nominee is no surprise.

...simple, SecMo. Our Party needs to turn away from it's regressive prohibitionist stance and adopt a true progressive PRO 2nd Amendment stance and this nonsense would stop immediately. The NRA is a single issue organization, and if Dems supported gun rights, they'd (and do, if they are pro 2nd) have the support of the NRA and probably a good chunk of the single issue pro 2nd voters. Gun prohibitionism is a losing strategy.

Support the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. The official Dem party platform does too. Hills should join the party.
