BREAKING: President Trump made 15,000 NRA members very happy when he announced he was pulling the US out of the UN Arms Trade Treaty – which the NRA called "anti-gun."
"Today in front of 15,000 NRA members, President Trump once again demonstrated his commitment to our Second Amendment freedoms and American Sovereignty," Chris W. Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement. "His commitment to un-sign the anti-gun United Nations Arms Trade Treaty that was forced on us by John Kerry and Barack Obama, gives NRA members one more reason to enthusiastically support his presidency. Donald Trump isn’t afraid to stand on the side of freedom and defend our God-given right to self-defense and we couldn’t be prouder to stand with him."
The NRA crowd cheered as he signed a letter to the Senate to stop the treaty ratification process:
