Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump lost his right to buy or possess firearms and ammunition Thursday after a Manhattan jury convicted him on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal payments to keep a porn star quiet during the 2016 presidential election.

Trump has long enjoyed strong support from the largely conservative gun rights movement, repeatedly addressing gatherings of the National Rifle Association and recently vowing to roll back firearm restrictions that the Biden administration had pushed through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
