You’re not alone.
The NRA is climbing aboard the Trump Train:

And if you don’t like it?
"If your preferred candidate dropped out of the race, it's time to get over it," says NRA-ILA Exec Dir Chris Cox.

Because nothing says “We’re 100 percent committed to preserving your Second Amendment rights” like throwing your weight behind this guy:

And backed gun bans, longer waiting periods, and praised Obama's hyper-partisan, post-Charleston anti-gun speeches. https://t.co/Yu2gi3nzoE

Good luck with that, NRA.

They'll change their tune just as soon as they see how he turns on a dime re gun control.

Evidently.
The NRA execs need to fucking can it with this rhetoric. I say this as an NRA member. Back the fuck off, guys. https://t.co/8hRl4OyCWP

For the first time in its history, @NRA lines up behind the most liberal candidate in the race.

Definitely unfortunate for the NRA. While they claim that they’re firmly committed to stopping Hillary:
From now until November, the 5M men and women of the #NRA will spend every minute working to stop @HillaryClinton – C.C. #NRAAM #2A
— NRA (@NRA) May 20, 2016
One can’t help but wonder why Trump’s years-long cozy relationship with her gets a pass:
By supporting a presidential candidate that donated lots of money to Hillary Clinton's campaigns many times. https://t.co/BUbIZmUITQ

Yeah, this’ll end well.
Trump to #NRA: "I will not let you down."

Suuuuuure he won’t.
