The National Rifle Association (NRA) is optimistic that President-elect Donald Trump's presidency will usher in pro-firearms policies after years of fighting anti-gun measures. NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre expects Trump to support national concealed carry reciprocity and reforms at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Trump previously promised to sign a reciprocity bill into law, which would allow concealed carry permits to be recognized across state lines.
is growing hopeful that after four years of fighting off anti-gun policies in Washington and several state capitals, having an ally in the White House will result in several pro-firearms policies.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE DEBATE OVER FLUORIDE IN DRINKING WATER AND WHY RFK JR IS SO SET ON REMOVING IT “He’s talking about national reciprocity, and we would support that with bells and whistles,” Hamlin said of Trump. “People are trying to assess what happened in this election and this landslide, seven battleground states all went to President Trump. My thinking is that some of these duly elected democratic representatives may need to start rethinking their position” to oppose concealed carry, said Hamlin.
Hamlin anticipates that the NRA and Trump will continue to have good relations. While Trump is not a gun hobbyist, his sons are, and he has spoken to NRA conventions multiple times.
