In what has seemingly become an annual tradition, former president Donald Trump addressed NRA members of this year’s NRA leadership forum at the 2024 NRA annual meetings and Exhibits in Dallas. This was the third time Trump has addressed the NRA faithful.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott preceded Trump and was cheered by the crowd, especially when he said, “I want to say to all NRA members here today, as the governor of this great state, welcome to Texas. When it comes to defending our freedoms, it’s a part of our DNA.
“Now more than ever, we must fight to protect our second amendment rights, and that is exactly what Texas has done,” Abbott continued. “According to the NRA, since I became governor, Texas has passed more significant Second Amendment protections than any other state in the United States of America.”
When Trump took the stage, he was greeted with a standing ovation, then spoke for more than an hour and a half to the thousands of members who had filled the venue. Here are just a few of the highlights from his speech.
“It is a true honor to be here today to receive the endorsement of the proud American Patriots at the NRA,” said Trump. “These are great Patriots. These are great people. We’re going to do things like nobody can believe. We’re going to win this election at levels that nobody has ever seen before. But thank you for that endorsement, it means a lot to me.”
“The NRA has stood with me from the very beginning,” continued Trump. “And with your vote, I will stand strong for your rights and liberties. But one thing I’ll say, and I say it as friends, we’ve got get to get gun owners to vote.”
