said it would be happy to meet with Mr. Trump in a Twitter post of its own. Mr. Trump frequently boasts of his endorsement from the N.R.A., which he said came earlier for him than any other Republican presidential candidate. “I will be meeting with the N.R.A., who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no-fly list, to buy guns,” Mr. Trump wrote Wednesday morning. Mr. Trump contends that if people had guns to shoot back, the killers might not have tried the attack or would have injured fewer people. Democrats say that burden is too high and the Republican measure, sponsored by Senator John Cornyn of Texas, would be pointless.
