President Donald Trump pledged to uphold Americans' right to possess guns on Friday in a speech that he used to revisit some 2016 election campaign themes from his vow to build a border wall to dismissing a Democratic senator as "Pocahontas."
Trump pledged his allegiance to the powerful National Rifle Association, the country's leading gun-rights advocacy group, at a convention attended by thousands. Elected in part on a law-and-order platform, Trump was the first sitting president to address the NRA since fellow Republican Ronald Reagan in 1983.
"As your president, I will never, ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms," Trump told thousands of people attending the NRA's annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Great headline.

Love their use of the term “fealty”.
Of course, I love to use the terms “uneducated”, low-T, “unable to do real work”, and “math averse” to describe those so unqualified for real work that all they can do is journalism.

It needs to be EMPHASIZED that the NRA was originated because blacks were prohibited from owning after the Civil War by Democrats.

The NRA is “us”. It is We the People, for whom President Trump works and to whom he is answerable. Clearly, he understands this. The leftist morons in Big Media do not.
