US presidential nominee, Donald Trump while addressing the
Orlando terrorist attack, argued that the fewer gun restrictions would have
lessened the death toll. "If we had people, where the bullets were
going
in the opposite direction, right smack between the eyes of this maniac, and
this son of a b***h comes out and starts shooting and one of the people in that
room happened to have (a gun) and goes boom. You know what, that would have
been a beautiful, beautiful sight, folks." He said
Donald Trump also slammed President Barack Obama for arguing
for action to change existing gun laws in the wake of the mass shooting in
Orlando.
"President Obama is trying to make terrorism into guns
and it's not guns, folks. It is not guns, folks. It is not guns, this is terrorism,"
Trump said.
But Trump's remarks on Friday also come days after he
himself floated the idea of preventing individuals on the no-fly list and
terror watch list from being able to purchase guns, a proposal Obama and other
top Democrats have called for in the days since the Orlando attack.
Trump did not mention that proposal on Friday night, instead
touting his endorsement from the National Rifle Association -- which is opposed
to the proposal -- and arguing he will be a better defender of the Second Amendment
than presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
"Nobody will protect your Second Amendment like Donald
John Trump," he said.
