President Donald Trump (R) recently delivered a special message to the NRA and its millions of members at the 2025 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Atlanta, Ga.

“A very special hello to the thousands of hardworking patriots at the NRA and thank you for your incredible commitment to defending our Second Amendment rights,” said President Trump before also congratulating the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) on 50 years of diligent work defending our constitutional rights.

Just months into his second term, Trump has been wasting no time in working to safeguard the right to keep and bear arms. His administration has worked to undo some of the disastrous policies from the previous administration and has also put into place a task force designed to further protect these rights.

“Over the past three months, our new administration has accomplished more than most administrations accomplish in four years or even eight years. Starting on day one, I ended Joe Biden’s attacks on the right to keep and bear arms. They attacked it like nobody’s ever attacked it before. Fortunately, he’s grossly incompetent and he wasn’t able to do much,” said Trump. “I abolished their so-called ‘zero-tolerance’ policy to put law-abiding gun dealers out of business for a simple error in paperwork, it’s what happens, and the ATF is ending Biden’s unconstitutional pistol-brace rule. And we have launched a Second Amendment task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is fantastic by the way, that will crack down on the attacks on gun rights by Democrat-run cities and states. They really have become radicalized, and we are winning all the way.”

The message from President Trump was shared at the 154th edition of the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, which saw over 70,000 attendees gather at the Georgia World Congress Center.

“This is just the beginning. There is much more to come. Americans are born free, and under the Trump administrations, we will live free, always live free. With me in the White House, your sacred rights will not be infringed. Thank you once again to everyone at the NRA, thank you for your incredible support over the years. You’ve always endorsed me, and I’ve always come through for you. Have a great event. Thank you,” said Trump.

The 155th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits will take place in Houston, Texas, from April 17-19 next year.
