Former President Donald Trump spoke at the National Rifle Association's annual convention in Houston Friday, three days after a massacre that left 19 children and two teachers dead at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
Calling for bipartisan efforts to “harden our schools and protect our children,” the 45th president called for anyone entering a school to be “checked, scanned, screened and fully approved.”“Let them conceal carry,” he said.
According to Trump, if the U.S. has money to aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia, the nation has the resources to fortify schools. That comment drew especially enthusiastic applause from the Houston crowd.“They [shooters] look at that sign and say ‘That’s where I’m going,’” Trump said. “If somebody goes into that building all of those innocent people will be taken out, will be killed, will be tortured — bad things will happen.
“It’s an evil that has happened too many damn times,” Cruz said. “It’s never been about guns.... acts of evil are on the rise and we have to ask why.”“Their real goal is disarming America,” he added “There are thousands of laws to restrict gun ownership,” Abbott said. “They have not stopped madmen from carrying out violent acts.”
