From The Washington Times:

Donald Trump endorsed by NRA: ‘Fantastic honor’
In a surprise move, the National Rifle Association on Friday endorsed likely GOP nominee Donald J. Trump for president — a development Mr. Trump called a “fantastic honor” even as he appeared somewhat shocked by the announcement.

Chris Cox, who heads up the NRA’s legislative-lobbying arm, made the announcement in his introduction of Mr. Trump at the NRA-ILA’s “Leadership Forum,” which is part of the gun-rights group’s annual meetings in Louisville.

“We have to unite, and we have to unite right now,” Mr. Cox said. “So on behalf of the thousands of patriots in this room and the 5 million NRA members across this country and the tens of millions who support us, I’m officially announcing the NRA’s endorsement of Donald Trump for president.”

Mr. Cox then introduced Mr. Trump as “the next president of the United States,” which was greeted with resounding applause and cheering from the crowd at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

Mr. Trump appeared somewhat surprised himself at the development.

“Thank you very much, this is amazing,” he said. “I did not know that. I knew I was doing well, but I did not know that.”

“I’ve been a member for a long time, and my boys are members and they’re much better shooters than I am,” he said.

“To get the endorsement, believe me, is a fantastic honor,” he said.

That is something - there are five million of us out there and we have a very high voter turnout.
