Former President Donald Trump will speak to National Rifle Association members later this month at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, Texas.

 

According to the association, his keynote speech set for May 18 will be President Trump’s ninth address on NRA’s stage, reaffirming his strong commitment to the NRA, the Second Amendment and the longstanding American tradition of firearm ownership.

President Trump first addressed the NRA in Nashville in 2015. Since then, he has been a steadfast advocate for the NRA, the Second Amendment and self-defense rights—including his promise in 2016 to never let NRA members down.

 

“As President, Trump made good on that promise by appointing a record-setting number of judges who respect the Second Amendment, including three Supreme Court justices who played a pivotal role in landmark Second Amendment rulings such as NRA-funded NYSRPA v. Bruen, cementing his legacy as a gun rights champion,” the association stated in a press release announcing the speech.

 

Andrew Arulanandam, NRA Interim executive vice president and CEO, said having the former president speak in Dallas is a great match for the organization.

 

“President Trump is under relentless attacks because he is not afraid to fight for those who share his American values,” Arulanandam said. “He is uniquely qualified to address our members who know what it’s like to stand for something, even when it’s hard. The NRA and our millions of members around the country have President Trump’s back, and we know he has ours.”

Randy Kozuch, executive director of NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), said the former president’s decision to speak at the meeting is a boost for freedom.

 

“President Trump’s presence at the NRA Annual Meeting is a powerful sign of his ongoing commitment to our constitutional freedoms and the Association’s efforts to protect and advance the Second Amendment rights of every law-abiding American, Kozuch said. “His fellow NRA members can’t wait to hear from him at this pivotal moment in our nation’s history.”

 

The event will take place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, 650 South Griffin Street in Dallas, Texas.
