In what has seemingly become an annual tradition, former President Donald Trump (R) addressed NRA members at this year’s NRA Leadership Forum at the 2024 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas. This was the ninth time Trump has addressed the NRA faithful.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) preceded Trump and was cheered by the crowd, especially when he announced, “I want to say to all NRA members here today, as the governor of this great state, welcome to Texas, where, when it comes to defending our freedoms, it is part of our DNA. Now more than ever, we must fight to protect our Second Amendment rights. And that is exactly what Texas has done. According to the NRA, since I became governor, Texas has passed more significant Second Amendment protections than any other state in the United States of America.”

When Trump took the stage, he was greeted with a standing ovation, then spoke for more than an hour-and-a-half to the thousands of members who had filled the venue. Here are just a few of the highlights from his speech.

“It is a true honor to be here today to receive the endorsement of the proud American patriots at the NRA. These are great patriots. These are great people. We’re going to do things like nobody can believe. We’re going to win this election at levels that nobody has ever seen before. But thank you for that endorsement. It means a lot to me.”

Gov. Greg Abbott“The NRA has stood with me from the very beginning. And with your vote, I will stand strong for your rights and liberties.”

“But one thing I’ll say, and I say it as friends, we’ve got to get gun owners to vote.”

“Let there be no doubt, the survival of our Second Amendment is very much on the ballot. You know what they want to do ... . The Second Amendment … is under siege. But with me, they’d never get anywhere. We need the [Second Amendment] for safety. Because you know the bad guys are not giving up their guns … .”

“If the Biden regime gets four more years, they’re coming for your guns.”

“I appointed nearly 300 pro-Constitution judges to interpret the law as written—it is a record, by the way.”

“I stopped cold their efforts to take away your ammunition … . When the radical Left Democrats tried to use COVID to shut down gun sales during the China virus, I proudly designated gun-and-ammunition retailers as critical infrastructure so they couldn’t touch [them]. They tried.”

“We will never give in. We will never give up ... . The great silent majority is rising like never before … . Thank you very much to the NRA.”
