LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Republican Donald Trump entered the 145th annual NRA convention here like a hero Friday, winning the the Second Amendment group’s endorsement and promising, “I will not let you down.”

To cheers from a huge audience, the biggest NRA convention in years, he ripped countries like France that have tight gun laws, and said that the recent terror attacks there “might not have happened” if citizens were armed.
