A television booth for Newsmax is set up on the exhibition floor of the 2022 NRA National Convention at George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston on Thursday, May 26, 2022.Donald Trump represented a potential threat to the National Rifle Association — more than any Democrat — when he first took the White House as he espoused gun control measures that were the absolute antithesis of the lobby’s desires.
He’s also an example of the influence wielded by one of the most powerful lobbying groups in America.• He repealed an Obama-era regulation that had the Social Security Administration report people who declared having severe mental illnesses, to make sure they were flagged in gun purchase background checks.
The former president's appearance comes at an especially fraught moment, just days after the mass shooting in Uvalde that left 21 people dead, including 19 children. NRA officials and Trump have insisted they won’t be deterred and will go on with their meetings despite the tragedy. The favors Trump White House did for the industry included administrative actions such as changing the definition of “fugitive from justice” when it comes to gun possession — making it possible for some people with outstanding arrest warrants to buy firearms legally.
“That’s why the Supreme Court is poised to strike down the New York gun law and they’re going to expand the definition of gun rights under the 2nd Amendment within the month,” Spitzer predicted.Even before the Republican primaries were over, the NRA endorsed Trump over U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz as other gun advocacy groups warned that Trump couldn’t be trusted because of his past support for gun control measures.
