Gun enthusiast Donald Trump Jr. might weigh a run to take over as the head of the National Rifle Association as a way to stay involved in politics after President Donald Trump leaves the White House, according to sources.

The eldest son of the president is eyeing the executive vice president of the NRA role currently held by Wayne LaPierre, Business Insider reported Thursday.

Trump Jr. has been closely involved with the NRA as an avid hunter, but one other source told BI the rumor might be far-fetched.

Don is just not getting involved in that scenario, the source told BI.
