Trump's First 100 Days: Trump's talking to the NRA. Here's what the gun-rights group wants.
By Elise Viebeck April 27 at 11:00 PM
Here’s where things stand heading into Day 99 of the Trump administration:
President Trump will close out the week with a speech to a group that played a major role in his election: the National Rifle Association.
The decision alone is a big deal. Addressing the NRA’s convention in Atlanta on Friday will make Trump the first sitting president to speak to the group since Ronald Reagan. And Trump’s willingness to appear under the NRA banner is seen as a sign that more action in support of gun rights could be coming soon from the Trump administration.
The issue of guns has been in the background of Trump’s presidency so far as debates over health care, immigration, trade and foreign policy take precedence. This might not be the case much longer. While gun-rights supporters have cheered the appointments of Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, Jeff Sessions as attorney general and Ryan Zinke as interior secretary, it’s clear they’re ready to see more concrete victories for their agenda.
Specifically, the NRA wants Trump to push for bills widening the validity of concealed-carry permits and removing certain requirements for people seeking gun silencers. Critics interpret this as the group’s wanting a return on its investment in Trump during the election: The NRA spent more than three times as much money to assist the current president as it did while backing Mitt Romney in 2012, our colleagues reported.
