Cox, Executive Director of the NRA-ILA. \u201cWe have to unite, and we have to unite right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump followed the endorsement with a speech designed to both re-assert his support of gun rights and remind the pro-Second Amendment community of Hillary Clinton\u2019s avowed hatred of the individual right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will not let you down. Remember that. I will not let you down,\u201d he said. \u201cHillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. We\u2019re not talking about changing\u2014she wants to abolish the Second Amendment. We\u2019re not going to let that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump jumped back and forth between a pre-written speech and his usual off-the-cuff technique. That he ever referred to a script is significant and, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2016-election\/trump-aims-assure-wary-gun-rights-supporters-nra-speech-n577296\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"trump-nra-members-wont-let\" title=\"Trump on Official Endorsement from NRA: 'I won't let you down'\">one report<\/a>, suggests that Trump knows how important the pro-gun community\u2019s support is to his continued success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so important to me I wrote it down,\u201d he said, referring to his remarks on gun rights.<\/p>\n<p>Trump began by mentioning his sons\u2019 well-known enthusiasm for guns as well as his long-time membership in the NRA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy sons have been members of the NRA for many, many years. They have so many rifles and so many guns, sometimes even I get a little bit concerned,\u201d Trump joked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know so much about [firearms], and really they\u2019re surrogates,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey go around and speak, and every time they speak to a gun organization, people call me and they say, \u2018You\u2019re boys and great boys and, boy, do they know their business.\u2019 It\u2019s one of those things, and that\u2019s just the way we want it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also mentioned the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, noting that there were \u201cno guns on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you would have had guns on the other side, if I took a couple of these folks in here, I promise there wouldn\u2019t have been 130 killed and hundreds lying in the hospital, it might not have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The majority of his remarks on firearms, however, revolved around Hillary Clinton and her fight to increase gun control across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Second Amendment is under a threat like never before,\u201d he said. \u201cCrooked Hillary Clinton is the most anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment candidate ever to run for office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To \u201ccrooked\u201d he added \u201cheartless\u201d and \u201chypocrite,\u201d noting Clinton\u2019s desire to disarm women in high-crime neighborhoods while simultaneously enjoying the benefit of 24\/7 armed security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans use guns to defend themselves against violent crime more than a million times a year,\u201d he noted. \u201cHeartless hypocrites like the Clintons want to\u2026 get rid of guns, and yet they have bodyguards who have guns. I think we should\u2026 let their bodyguards immediately disarm, and let\u2019s see how they feel walking around without the guns on their bodyguards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump reminded his audience that the next president will be able to nominate as many as five Supreme Court justices over the next four years, which could decide the future of gun rights for generations to come. That\u2019s why, according to Trump, \u201cthe Second Amendment is on the ballot in November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only way to save our Second Amendment is to vote for a person that you all know named Donald Trump. I will never let you down. I will protect our Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOn behalf of the thousands of patriots in this room, and the five million NRA members across this country, and the tens of millions who support us, I\u2019m officially announcing the NRA\u2019s endorsement of Donald Trump for president,\u201d said Chris W.
