GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump returned to the great state of Texas on Saturday during his quest to âMake America Great Again.â As this video shows, he spoke for over an hour, which is his new plan of action. His campaign has transformed into a series of long-winded monologues that feel like heâs trying to convince himself to stay in the race.
Perhaps Trump has realized that heâd take a significant pay cut as president, which isnât as much of a joke as reality. To Trump, money is the ultimate motivator, and (as he enjoys reminding us) heâs poured a lot of his own cash into this campaign. During this speech in Beaumont, Trump made his thoughts on the Paris terrorist attacks known. He believes that Franceâs strong gun control laws did nothing to deter the attackers, and he says that armed civilians could have helped diffuse the situation:
âWhen you look at Paris, toughest gun laws in the world, nobody had guns but the bad guys. Nobody had guns. And they were just shooting them one by one, and then they broke in and had a big shootout and ultimately killed the terrorists. And I will tell you what â you can say what you want, if they had guns, if our people had guns, if they were allowed to carry, it would have been a much, much different situation.â
This isnât the only occasion Trump has used a tragedy to further his own agenda, and it certainly isnât the first time he criticized gun control in France. Following the January Charlie Hebdo attacks, Trump tweeted, âIsnât it interesting that the tragedy in Paris took place in one of the toughest gun control countries in the world?â

Stop being a Nazi.
You’re being a terrorist.
In MY old contract law class, we were taught to DIFFERENTIATE between things. That means you DO NOT make a blanket statement ACCUSING one party of the acts of another. Even though I agree with the other poster, you were out of line.
By the way,I exempted the final exam of my Contract Law class because I was #1. How did YOU do?
Yes. The American Resistance is prepared.
Metropublicans, every one.
Girlfriends? Maybe not.
So...how's that working for you?

If this continues, it is gun free zones that will go away.
