Trump to NRA: The 'assault' on gun rights is over
ATLANTA – President Trump spent the eve of his 100th day in office with some of his most fervent supporters, talking about two of his favorite topics: Gun rights and his surprise win of the November election.
"The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end," Trump told the annual National Rifle Association convention, part of a drumbeat of events designed to herald his 100th day in office on Saturday. "You have a true friend and champion in the White House."
The thousands of NRA members who gathered in a concrete convention hall in downtown Atlanta are the kinds of people who remain committed to Trump, despite the political travails and low national approval ratings of his early months in office – and they in no way regret their choice of a president they helped elect.

Playing to the political interests of the NRA crowd, Trump outlined a series of actions he's taken that he said were designed to protect gun rights, such as nominating Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The Orange Anus-Mouth and the right-wing gun lobby are directly responsible for latest gun massacre in Las Vegas. Together they provided the "guns for everyone" atmosphere, and the lax regulations that allowed the sale of multiple high-powered weapons to a madman.

that there would be business-as-usual for the firearms industrial sector. There were the thunderous sound of champaign corks flying out of bottles and pistols being fired into the ceiling of the main dining room. Ricochetted bullets and broken lamp glass hit 5 celebrators, who were immediately attended to by physician members, thus saving the need to seek outside help and involve the police in something none of their business.
