In April, President Trump addressed the National Rifle Association's annual national convention, the first sitting president to do so since Ronald Reagan in 1983. The gun-rights organization endorsed Trump very early, nearly six months before Election Day, and spent millions in key battleground states.

Trump told members, "You came through for me, and I am going to come through for you."

On Election Day, gun owners did in fact come through for Trump. Sixty-two percent of gun owners voted for Trump, according to data from the 2016 American National Election Studies (ANES). This was 4 percent better than Romney's share of the gun owners' vote in 2012 and 10 percent more than McCain's in 2008.
