At the SHOT Show, on January 21, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, David Warrington, the White House Counsel, gave remarks prior to the Governors Forum. Larry Keane, the Senior Vice President & General Counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) introduced David Warrington before the start of the Governors Forum.
David Warrington, White House Counsel for President Trump, gave his remarks before the Governors' Forum began. They were concise and precise. Warrington has been with President Trump for some time. He was appointed as White House Counsel on January 20, 2025, at beginning of President Trump's second term. From David Warrington:
President Trump wants to convey that its very important to him, protecting the Second Amendment.
Warrington noted this was the first time a White House Counsel, a Deputy Attorney General, and the Head of the Civil Rights Division, have been at the SHOT Show to represent the President of the United States. It was the first time there has ever been a Civil Rights Division to protect the Second Amendment. No other President has been as supportive or as active in restoring the rights protected by the Second Amendment.
David Warrington has a history of working to support and protect the Second Amendment. His Public Financial Disclosure Report shows him as the Chairman, Treasurer, General Counsel, and President of the National Association for Gun Rights, Inc., (NAGR) from March of 2000 to December of 2024. Income from NAGR was listed as $6,000 for director fees. This is a small fraction of David Warrington's income. His salary for the Dhillon Law Group, Inc. was listed as $1,161,465 for 2024. He is a highly paid, highly successful attorney. It appears he has taken a substantial pay cut to work with President Trump at the White House.
David Warrington explained President Trump told him Second Amendment Supporters have been President Trump's most loyal followers and supporters through the last ten years, through difficult times and good times. The President appreciates loyalty and President Trump will continue to work for you. President Trump believes loyalty works both ways.
Larry Keane validated and supported David Warrington's statements, on the many firsts for the SHOT Show at the 2026 SHOT Show. The presence of many officials at the SHOT Show shows an interest and dedication far beyond previous presidents. David Warrington jokingly wondered if there were more members of the administration at the SHOT Show or at Davos. He wondered what was going on in D.C. when the administration was split between the SHOT Show and Davos. It was a joke with a serious message.
Seated just feet from David Warrington during his presentation, his demeanor and style were polished and stirring, as you would expect from a world class attorney. This correspondent is glad he is on the side of the Constitution and working to restore rights protected by the Second Amendment. His work with NAGR indicates an intimate knowledge of the playing field surrounding the struggle to restore rights protected by the Second Amendment.
David Warrington, as the White House Counsel, has the ear of the President. President Trump is fighting numerous battles and an entrenched bureaucracy and deep state which wants him gone. President Trump is winning, but the fight is far from over. The fate of the Republic hangs in the balance.
