james Houston: Former US President Donald Trump refused the call to tighten the control of weapons Friday after the Texas school massacre, said Americans who deserve to be allowed to be allowed to be able to defend themselves against “crime.”
The existence of crime in our world is not a reason to disarmicate citizens who obey law … The existence of crime is one of the best reasons for arming citizens who are law -devout,” he told members of the National Set Association.
Trump’s statement came when he became the headlines of the NRA event in Houston, three days after the massacre of weapons at the Texas elementary school turned back the Tinderbox debate about the control of US weapons.
Various weapons control policies driven by the left will not do anything to prevent the horror from happening. There is absolutely nothing,” he said.
A 18-year-old armed man with an AR-15 style rifle bought legally killed 19 children and two adults at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday, marking the shooting of the deadliest school in the history of the state.
Trump read the names of all 19 children, which he described as victims of “crazy” out of control, “before suggesting that efforts to control weapons were” strange. “
We all must unite, republic and democrats-in every state, and at every level of government-for finally hardening our schools and protecting our children … what we need now is a reshuffle of security up to the under school throughout the country This, “he added.
Some speakers, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott, were pulled out of the event after the murder but Trump confirmed on Wednesday that he would not cancel his performance at the NRA’s annual Leadership Forum”.
President Joe Biden, who aroused the US weapons lobby after the shooting, will be in Uvalde on Sunday with First Lady Jill Biden to “grieve the community,” said the White House official.
The NRA is considered the most powerful weapons organization in this country, despite its reduced influence because it has been mired in a legal battle related to the corruption scandal.
This has rejected most of the initiatives to prevent mass shooting, including an expanded background check on weapons purchases, although it was said before Trump’s speech that members of the audience would not be allowed to carry firearms.
The Republican Party in Washington has suggested the “hardening” school with increased security – including armed guards posted at one entry point and exit – rather than restrictions on weapons ownership.
They have also talked about the need to focus on mental health, although critics show that other countries with tighter weapons control face the same problems and do not see mass shooting regularly.
There are 214 mass shootings this year in the United States, according to the archive of weapons violence.
They include racist massacres in supermarkets in Buffalo’s black environment, New York, only 10 days before Texas murder.
