Houston Chronicle ^ | June 18, 2016 | Bridget Balch, Andrew Kragie, and Susan Carroll

Donald Trump told a large and boisterous crowd in The Woodlands on Friday night that he would be a fierce supporter of gun rights if elected president, and that an armed person could have prevented the Orlando nightclub massacre that left 49 people dead and another 53 wounded.

"Nobody will protect your Second Amendment like Donald John Trump. Nobody! Nobody!" the presumptive Republican presidential nominee declared.

Trump alleged that Democrat Hillary Clinton wanted to abolish the Second Amendment, the constitutional right to bear arms. Mentions of her name drew loud boos.

It's a hard choice: Trump or Hillary as president -- do we want to keep the Constitution or just ignore and get rid of it.

This is the choice in this election. A conservative no-vote or vote for anyone other than Trump ( at the Convention or in the actual election) is a vote for Hillary and against the 2nd Amendment and against the Constitution.

To be honest, a bunch of drunk partiers with weapons is disconcerting. However, the people who work in the club could carry.

Yes, but a terrorist-incident such as this should NOT be a sufficient reason to take guns away from everyone, overriding the Constitution.

Gun control will be the down fall (among other issues) of crooked Hillary. Many democrats like their guns.

She will pack the S.C. with young far, far left liberals, who will preside for the next 3 or 4 decades.

You’re right. If they have over 300 patrons, they also have a large staff working.

Alcohol and guns do not mix. Not a good idea.

Security at such places should carry, and there should be well more than just a few at each location.

Mass murder safe spaces, i.e. gun free zones, should be banned.

When I was about 12, I used to go with my dad to a bar/restaurant run by a WWII vet. The owner of the bar made the best burgers in town, and dad always got me two burgers and pickled eggs to eat while he drank his beer. The owner never drank, he had a pistol, a shotgun, a bat, and a blackjack in his back pocket. He had a don't mess with me attitude, he would have protected his customers. I miss the good old days when the sane adults were in charge.

Did they threaten to take away our planes when the muslims blew up the World Trade Centers?

How about banning our pressure cookers?

I have, and it is....especially when they decide to hunt in the afternoon after having a snootful of Wild Turkey to go with their breakfast.
