Trump Tells Nra: 'you Have A True Friend' In White House

Trump is expected to attend a private fundraiser for Republican congressional candidate Karen Handel, a local election that has become a national referendum on his presidency. During the campaign, he promised to do away with President Barack Obama's efforts to strengthen background checks and to eliminate gun-free zones at schools and military bases. Trump, who also attended last year's NRA convention as a candidate, boasts of owning a pair of guns and says his two adult sons are avid hunters. Kevin Michalowski, executive editor of a magazine published by the United States Concealed Carry Association, said seeing that a president will be addressing the annual meeting "gives the gun industry a feeling of he's on our side." After addressing NRA members, Trump is scheduled to attend a private fundraiser for Republican congressional candidate Karen Handel. The affluent, well-educated district has been in Republican hands since 1979 — when the future House Speaker Newt Gingrich took office — and it still covers the usually conservative northern suburbs of Atlanta.
