NRA Chooses Trump – Photos from the Convention Floor

This year TheMudflats returned to the NRA with a much smaller crew, namely just me. Unlike in 2015 when nearly every single one of the Republican primary candidates made a speech this time  there was only one big name at the show – The Donald.

The presumptive presidential nominee for the Republican Party took to the stage with a standing ovation from a crowd of thousands of gun lovers that packed the Freedom Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The somewhat non-surprise surprise was that the National Rifle Association was to endorse Mr. Trump. National Rifle Association executive director Chris W. Cox with Wayne Lapierre standing close by made the announcement.

Beyond Trump making one of his more incoherent weird speeches that I have heard, it’s the NRA show as usual. Just bigger and with more guns. They’ve nearly doubled the number of vendors they have and a rough estimate of the attendees are above 70,000.
