Ubi bene ibi patria
" The National Rifle Association (NRA) is sending President-elect Donald Trump a Christmas wish list filled with pro-Second Amendment policies that would make it easier for gun owners to carry concealed weapons.
Just one month ago, the NRA was bracing for battle with a Clinton administration.
Now, the gun lobby is looking to tighten its grip in Washington with Trump taking the reins in the White House and Republicans maintaining control of Congress.The NRA endorsed Trump and spent more than $30 million supporting him.
Following the election, it made it clear that expects the results to pay dividends on its interests.
“Gun owners made this election happen,” NRA chief Wayne LaPierre said following the election in a video address.
He called on supporters to “go on offense.”
The NRA’s top priority is nominating a Supreme Court justice who supports Second Amendment principles to replace the late conservative justice Antonin Scalia, something Trump has promised to do.
While the NRA wants to expand concealed carry laws, other gun rights advocates are calling for a repeal of gun-free school zones. The NRA did not respond to requests for comment for this story. "
