Top Republican hopefuls for the 2024 presidential race, including Donald Trump, have vowed at the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) annual convention to defend the Second Amendment at all costs, suggesting that new firearms restrictions in the wake of mass shootings in the country would only hurt law-abiding gun owners. The three-day gathering kicked off on Friday with thousands of the organisation’s most active members at Indianapolis’ convention centre mere days after mass shootings in Nashville and Louisville.
