Trump defends the "Great American Patriots" at the NRA

After firing off five tweets this morning outlining where he stands on gun reform, President Trump defended the NRA's EVP Wayne LaPierre, Executive Director Chris Cox, and other members.

Why it matters: Trump has recently said that he'll bring about changes to gun control in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, but he also understands that the NRA and its supporters help put him in the White House. This is him protecting them and the Second Amendment.
