President Trump speaking to the National Rifle Association, a group that made a multimillion investment in his campaign, declared his administration will not ratify the UN Arms Trade Treaty – a treaty supported by the Obama administration that is aimed at regulating the international arms industry."The United Nations will soon receive a formal notice that America is rejecting this treaty," Trump said in a speech at the NRA convention in Indianapolis.
Immediately, gun control advocates spoke out against the president's decision to back away from the treaty, which seeks to make it more difficult to sell weapons to countries that are under arms embargoes, often because of conflict. During his speech, Trump jumped from defending Second Amendment rights to building a wall to touting economic numbers.
"All was taking place at the highest levels in Washington, D.C. You’ve been watching, you've been seeing. You've been looking at things that you wouldn't have believed possible in our country. Corruption at the highest level a disgrace. Spying, surveillance. Trying for an overthrow. And we caught them. We caught them," he said.
Pence depicted the proposals as socialist efforts that threaten liberty and declared to a standing ovation that"America will never be a socialist country." One example of that expansion is NRA TV, where members can find shows on gun policy alongside criticism of the Green New Deal and Ocasio-Cortez. But in the past year alone, the NRA has faced staggering opposition. After the Feb. 14, 2018, deadly mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, students and supporters from Parkland, Florida, were among those asking other companies to sever their ties with the NRA.
"They're really the only lobbying group for the shooting public," Highsmith told ABC News ahead of Trump's speech. But, he added,"I think they need to try and rationalize how they spend their money and try to be more steadfast in the way they do business. I'd like to see them be more supportive of places like me -- how are they helping the average member."

God forbid our president takes a swipe at Democrats 😳
ICYMI GabbyGiffords is suing the FEC for failing to enforce campaign finance laws against the NRA, which gave Trump 9,259 times the legal contribution limit. Resist We made a deck of playing cards. Trump is the Ace of ♠️ KnowYourDeplorables
Our biggest do nothing freeloader republicans. If they aren't more careful the only ones left will be ignorant T party members who have no place in this current society.

The truth is, we all know who Trump and Pence are now...and it's not pretty.
NRA. Trumps kind of people. Rowdy Rude and Ruthless.
Why can't you carry a gun at an NRA meeting... Except that one actor.
ECONOMY IS BOOMING AND PEOPLE ARE THRIVING IN THE GREATEST FREE COUNTRY ON EARTH. GOD BLESS AMERICA. 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸 THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP. KAG2020
Trump gave life to a culture war. It's evolving into a race war. Deliberately.
Trump and Pence, both will now be guilty of enabling the commission of murder, because of their bought and paid for NRA stance on weapon control, not just within the US, but worldwide. Is it that they are just that stupid, or is it that they don't care about human lives?
They need to take swipes at each other
Swipes which you, ABC (Always Be Complicit) refuse to fact-check. You just retweet them. Journalism grade: F.
The Soul of America has been sold to the NRA.🙄
In normal times Pence would have been the president and Trump the court jester. How our world has changed.
ABC shouldn't you be reporting on the current news about the coup that has been trying to take over the Presidency? Other news media's are reporting current news! America wants to know the truth!

Bunch of thugs.
Heads up Donald, I think fox just shit on your plate.
Nothing new
Two peas in a pod
All while sending guns to NK to make up the 2 mill they 'never sent'.
Why didn't they ask Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to give the speech? After all Russia seems to love and be bankrolling the NRA.
