President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are scheduled today to speak to gun enthusiasts at the NRA, a group that made a multi-million-dollar investment in their campaign in 2016.
The NRA spent $30.3 million to support Trump's campaign in 2016, according to Open Secrets, and doubled down on NRA-sponsored advertising in key states where the president claimed victory. For many voters, the debate over firearms likely will remain a key issue in 2020, with voters on both sides gearing up to back candidates on both sides of the issue. Ahead of the 2018 midterms, 60% of voters listed gun policy as"very important" among voting choices, according to the survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Highsmith is in a unique position as a gun shop owner. While he personally supports Donald Trump, it hurts his business. That said, the NRA and Trump don't always agree -- the president has called for raising the purchasing age to 21 from 18 despite fierce opposition from the group.
You can’t get lower than NRA & the 🤡💩
Who would be WORSE: The crazy demo-liberal-socialists.... First strp in Socialism.....remove citizens guns
The NRA embarrassed itself by accepting 19 million to help trump and wasted 31 million of its members money to help elect the dullard. It is tone deaf regarding the slaughter in our schools, chuches, malls. Time for it to reform or die ( form NRA mbr here)
It’s guns or hotdogs. Idk.
The NRA is for personal Freedom to choose to bear arms or not, Trump believes in Freedoms. Democrats believe in Restrictions and Government Controls of Individuals!
It’s gun or hotdogs. Idk.

Abc news is tabloid news
And MSM continues to brazenly perpetuate horrific lies in concert with the most corrupt and evil people in America, even though it's bad for business.
