Watch Speech
An Excerpt of White House transcript of Trump’s remarks:
We
have news that you’ve been waiting for a long time: The eight-year assault on
your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end. (Applause.) You have
a true friend and champion in the White House. No longer will federal agencies
be coming after law-abiding gun owners. (Applause.) No longer will the
government be trying to undermine your rights and your freedoms as Americans.
Instead, we will work with you, by your side. We will work with the NRA to
promote responsible gun ownership, to protect our wonderful hunters and their
access to the very beautiful outdoors. You met my son — I can tell you, both
sons, they love the outdoors. Frankly, I think they love the outdoors more than
they love, by a long shot, Fifth Avenue. But that’s okay. And we want to ensure
you of the sacred right of self-defense for all of our citizens.
