President Trump Delivers Remarks at Dallas NRA Convention

On Friday, President Trump spoke at this year’s NRA Convention in Dallas, Texas, according to The Hill.

An Overview of President Trump’s Speech

During the President’s remarks, he firstly expressed his support for the Second Amendment. Then, President Trump spoke out about the pitfalls of “gun free zones,” advocated for arming security guards and teachers, and conveyed confidence about Republicans’ chances of winning this year’s upcoming midterm elections.

Arming schoolteachers and security is a proposal which came up after the horrific Florida high school shooting. Some Americans rallied and marched for stricter gun control measures. However, many right-leaning individuals affirmed that criminals do not follow gun control laws. President Trump touched upon the preceding point during his speech at the convention:

“There is no sign more inviting to a mass killer than a sign that declares: ‘This school is a gun free zone.’ If we’re going to outlaw guns, like so many people want to do … we are going to have to outlaw — immediately — all vans and all trucks, which are now the new form of death for the maniac terrorists.“
