"I will never ever allow them to take away your sacred right to keep and bear arms"
This the problem for true believers in Trump and the GOP - the phrase 'Take Away". They always promote the defense for funding raising but defense allows the slow creep and erosion of rights. Look at Dump the Bump Trump. There was no reason to do that except for his erratic personality. The NRA story that unless he dumped the Bump, the Congress would have banned all 'assault rifles' is just Save the Wayne BS.
What has the GOP done positively recently? The AWB expired (and GWB would have signed the renewal). For the most part, Heller hasn't stopped the state bans or lifted most restrictions. Granted there have been a fewl like in Illinois and some positive lower court statements (that are usually reversed).
Bills to advance the RKBA on the Congressional Level - Do you hear Donald or the GOP ever making the HPA, Reciprocity, the SAGA act (gets rid of state bans) as legislative priorities? Mention them at the State of the Union? They couldn't wait to dump the HPA. When HR 218 passes for LEOs, there was supposed to be a correlated push for reciprocity. Never happened.
Thus, the court appointments have done much yet, so you can chortle about them. Until SCOTUS unambiguously wipes out the state bans and reaffirms that such guns are protected (as Heller waffled on), reaffirms the right to carry outside the home, etc - it's all just hot air.
So the 'take away' is just bait and switch - nothing positive. Send a check, suckers. Donald isn't scared of NO NRA. NRA is in disarray anyway, send a check.
Recall, Donald swore he would be great for the LGBT community. He posts how he supports them. Then his policies are the opposite. Take the hint about him supporting you if he feels that the politics work the other way or he has a random brain toot.
Now, you will say: He's not Hillary.
That was then and this is now. He's the one that has to perform and blind obsequious hero worship doesn't motivate him to perform for the RKBA. As folks sat home for Hillary, he needs a touch of a threat that his support isn't that firm unless he performs. The glacial pace of SCOTUS and refusal to take cases plus the ambiguity of Roberts is very worrisome.
