US President, Donald Trump has assured gun owners that his administration will “never, ever infringe” on Second Amendment rights declaring that his predecessor, Barack Obama’s alleged “assault” on those freedoms is over.
Trump stated this in Atlanta at the eve of his 100th day in office, at the convention of the National Rifle Association.
“I am here to deliver you good news: the eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end,” Trump told the cheering crowd.

Trump is the first sitting president to address an NRA convention in more than three decades. The last president to do so was Ronald Reagan in 1983.
Trump said the NRA were part of those who helped him become president.
“You came through for me and I am going to come through for you,” he said.
The NRA endorsed Trump after he promised to do away with then-President Barack Obama’s efforts to strengthen background checks.
The NRA spent more than $30 million to help Trump get elected.
“I will never, ever infringe on the rights of the people to keep and bear arms,” Trump told the crowd.
During his speech, Trump reiterated his position on the building of a wall at the Mexican border.
“You need that wall to stop human trafficking,” Trump said. “We’ll build the wall, don’t even think about it. We need the wall.”
