2018 NRA Annual Meetings

Well, another one is in the books. The 147th iteration of the NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits went off without a hitch (and without the predicted appearance by Antifa or other protesters).
As usual, it was an amazing event. I always try to go when it’s in this part of the country, and have never been disappointed. 15 acres of the latest guns and gear, dozens of great speeches, and a chance to hang out with 80,000 like-minded patriots. What’s not to like?
I survived the crowds, flight delays and humidity (and the $6.00 hot dogs and $4.00 bottles of water) so you didn’t have to. Here are links to the major speeches:
Wayne LaPierre: 2018 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum
Chris W. Cox: 2018 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum Vice President Pence: 2018 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum President Trump: 2018 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum
Dana Loesch: 2018 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) Gov. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) Mark “Oz” Geist, Former Marine, Author of “13 Hours” Mark Robinson, Second Amendment Activist, Greensboro, NC. Diamond & Silk, Social Media Commentators Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union Charlie Kirk, Founder, Turning Point USA and Kyle Kashuv, Student, Parkland, FL
