Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has weighed in on the shooting at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College and has a solution to the problem of school shootings that liberals will hate.
Trump points out that if teachers were armed they could have provided protection for those killed in the shooting. He also says that the only people with guns in these ‘gun-free zones’ are the “bad guys.”
“Everybody was sitting there and there was nothing they could do, not a thing they could do,” Trump said on FOX. “The police did a fantastic job getting in that quickly, but there was nobody with any protection.”
“Wouldn’t they have been better off if somebody in the room, anybody, anybody, had a gun to at least help them out?” Trump said. “It was a terrible thing. And these gun-free zones are a disaster. Everybody’s just a sitting duck.”
He added that he believes shootings like this are more mental health issues than gun issues.
“We have to do something about mental health. It is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. Certainly, every one of these instances with the school shootings and the movie theater shooters, every one of them turns out to be the same kind of a character.”
President Barack Obama asks Americans to ‘reconsider their position’ on guns. Obama, Hillary Clinton and other liberal gun control advocates are politicizing the shooting to further their gun grabbing agenda.
Conservative Tribune points out that Trump didn’t bow down to the media pressure.
He wasted no time in stepping up for millions of Americans and declaring he would “defend the rights of law-abiding gun owners.”
“They have background checks already in place,” Trump said. “That was in in 1998. People slipped through, and our government’s not doing a great job.”
Trump never minces words and once again, he gets straight to the point on this issue.
While everyone on the left seems to think that taking our guns away will solve the problem of mass shooters, what we actually need is more people using their Second Amendment rights as a way to counter these madmen.
We still have the right to protect ourselves from people like the Oregon shooter and from a government that could turn on us.
Trump is on the right track. He knows taking guns away is not the solution.
Here’s Donald Trump on Fox and Friends Weekend.
As Political Insider points out, Obama’s Department of Homeland Security does not believe you’d be ‘better off if somebody in the room had a gun.’
Instead, they’d rather you simply run, hide, and throw random items at the crazed gunman!
But, if you were to say "If heroin was made illegal most of the law abiding heroin owners would simply turn in their heroin. There would only be a few holdouts and they could be easily hunted down and their heroin taken" you'd be mocked mercilessly.
