Hamlin highlighted that Trump\u2019s experience over his previous term gives the NRA hope for meaningful\u2062 changes, especially considering opposition to anti-gun measures introduced by president Biden.\u2062 the NRA believes the political climate may\u2064 be favorable for passing legislation that would ensure national reciprocity \u200bfor concealed carry permits, as well \u200bas the appointment of a pro-gun director \u2063for the ATF. With gun sales continuing at high rates,the \u2063NRA sees this as an opportunity for \u200blegislative \u200cadvancement\u200b in the coming \u2062year.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">NRA sees national concealed carry, ATF reform under Trump<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1914948\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3237983\/second-amendment-advocates-urge-trump-leash-atf-pick-pro-gun-director\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">National Rifle Association<\/a> is growing hopeful that after four years of fighting off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/youre-full-of-sh-6-times-joe-biden-lost-his-temper-before-becoming-president\/\" title=\"\u2018You\u2019re full of sh**!\u2019: 6 Times Joe Biden Lost His Temper Before Becoming President\">anti-gun policies<\/a> in Washington and several state capitals, having an ally in the White House will result in several pro-firearms policies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3044982\/nra-under-new-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Doug Hamlin,<\/a> the CEO and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/flashback-former-ag-barr-initiated-spying-program-on-americans-back-in-1992\/\" title=\"FLASHBACK: Former AG Barr Initiated Spying Program on Americans Back in 1992\">executive vice president<\/a> of the nation&rsquo;s biggest and oldest Second Amendment advocacy, said that the NRA is eager to work with President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3009166\/nra-endorses-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> on multiple fronts, including national-pro-gun initiatives and key <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3237983\/second-amendment-advocates-urge-trump-leash-atf-pick-pro-gun-director\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">law enforcement hires.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re super excited because we have a president who has the benefit of four years experience,&rdquo; Hamlin told <em>Secrets<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3252266\/us-space-force-trump-second-term\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>US SPACE FORCE IS READY FOR LIFTOFF IN SECOND TRUMP TERM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Besides nixing all the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">anti-gun plans pushed ineffectively<\/a> by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Hamlin said that he expects the incoming president to help approve national concealed carry reciprocity and to institute reforms at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Former President Donald Trump gives a thumbs up before speaking at the National Rifle Association Convention, Saturday, May 18, 2024, in Dallas.
