President Trump to Attend NRA Meetings in Dallas

A White House official announced on Monday morning that President Donald Trump will be attending the NRA’s Annual Meetings (NRAAM) in Dallas, Texas.

NRAAM is scheduled for May 4-6, with Vice President Mike Pence scheduled to speak on the first night.

The Associated Press reports that Trump plans to be there on May 4 as well.

On April 26 Breitbart News reported that actress Alyssa Milano would be protesting the NRA convention in person. She and the newly formed “No Rifle Association initiative” (#NoRA) plan to protest outside the convention on May 5.

Milano launched a petition demanding that VP Pence cancel his speech at the convention. Gun control activist and fellow #NoRA member David Hogg tweeted:

Now it is clear that President Trump will be at the convention as well.

Trump was a proud ally of the NRA and the Second Amendment throughout his 2016 presidential campaign.
