Donald Trump went on Face the Nation to discuss, among other things, Barack Obama’s radical gun control agenda. When asked about his position on the matter, he didn’t hold back:
One course of action the White House is considering is the expansion of background checks for firearms procured at gun shows — currently not a requirement because such sales often involve individuals that are unlicensed firearm sellers.
But Trump pushed back against that option, saying that there are numerous other routes the administration can take to prevent mass shootings.
“There’s plenty of things that they can do right now that are already there,” the GOP presidential hopeful said. “They don’t do them.”
The billionaire pointed to America’s “tremendous mental health problem” as an example.
“We are closing places all over the world, all over the country they are closing — but they are closing all over the world,” he said. “Tremendous mental health problems — nobody is doing anything about that.”
“All they want to do is blame the guns, and it’s not the gun that pulls the trigger, so I don’t like it,” Trump added. “I don’t like what he is doing.”
