Donald Trump continues to court Second Amendment supporters in the wake of last week’s deadly shooting in Oregon, suggesting the teachers at Umpqua Community College should have been armed — just like he is.
“Let me tell you, if you had a couple teachers with guns in that room, you would have been a hell of a lot better off,” Trump said at a rally in Franklin, Tenn., on Saturday. “This is about self-defense, plain and simple.”
“In fact, I have a license to carry in New York — can you believe that? Nobody knows that,” Trump continued. “Somebody attacks me, they’re gonna be shocked.”
After the event, the Republican frontrunner told reporters that he is a member of the National Rifle Association, and had consulted the group in developing his gun policy.
Trump also criticized former Florida governor Jeb Bush’s remarks about the Oregon shooting.
“He used the words ‘stuff happens,’ and I thought it was a very bad phrase to use,” Trump said, according to the Washington Post. “I actually was watching that and thought, ‘Wow, how does he use that phrase?’”

Trump says he has license to carry: 'Somebody attacks me, they’re gonna be shocked' I assume that they'd have to make it past his bodyguards first.

I was in the office of our local weekly paper one day during a discussion of who—between two candidates—would be selected as our next school board chairman. When I was asked my opinion I said: “It's a choice between Goober and Gomer.”
