Danish prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen in a Twitter post on Wednesday encouraged US president Donald Trump to listen to calls for action over gun crime in the United States.

The message from the Danish PM came as the US president listened to pleas for gun reform on Wednesday in a White House meeting with about 40 students, teachers and family members of victims, including from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed on February 14th.

“Do not intend to interfere, but allow me to give a Danish perspective: please, respond to the request of your youngsters who demands (sic) gun control. Don’t accept the world record in school shootings. Make America great and safe again!” Rasmussen wrote, tweeting the same message again shortly afterwards to correct a spelling mistake. […]

Trump has said arming teachers could prevent school shootings like that which left 17 people dead in Florida.

Journalist Marie Louise Albers of Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten noted this in the commentary thread underneath Trump’s tweet, writing that it was “not exactly the answer Lars Løkke had hoped for”.

Don’t the Danes have something of a problem with Muslim refugees? Just as in Sweden and Norway? Let them get that sorted out first, before offering us any free advice.

100,000,000 murdered by their own government in the 20th century alone.

How many died from school shootings in the last decade? 100?

We’ll keep our Constitutional rights. Enjoy living in a Muslim caliphate in 50 years with your granddaughters sold off as slaves, Europe.

We here in the US,Mr European,have a policy of having the *adults* do the governing.Feel free to allow kids to run Denmark but we'll take a rain check on that point (and many of Europe's other policies).

Errr...... in 2011 on a small island in Norway is the largest mass shooting in history. 80 children on a outing, trapped on an island, No guns for miles, no way off the island. When the cops got there, they didn’t have guns either...

And this eurotrash clown has a comment?

Danes are big on their government and programs, only 65% of their salary is taxes. They spent so much on defense, in the 30’s they didn’t have the weaponry needed to halt the Germans from coming in in 1940. The Danes fought bravely with what they had, for 6 hours? Geeez, even the French and the Poles held out longer than that. Where the hell were the Vikings? (not in Minnesota)
