Donald Trump wasn’t going to wait until Barack Obama’s charade of a 2nd Amendment townhall was over to challenge the President’s radical anti-gun policy and the worst inclinations of the authoritarian left:
As President Obama was at a CNN town hall meeting discussing his passion for gun control, Donald Trump vowed to end gun-free zones.
The billionaire presidential candidate was hosting a campaign rally in Burlington, Vermont at the same time as Obama’s televised meeting, juxtaposing the two events.
Perhaps it was no mistake then that Trump chose to talk about gun control at the end of his speech.
“I will get rid of gun-free zones in schools — you have to — and on military bases on my first day. It gets signed. My first day – there’s no more gun free zones,” Trump told supporters as they cheered wildly.
Trump pointed out that gun-free zones were dangerous because they attracted people considering a mass shooting.
“You know what a gun-free zone is to a sicko?” Trump asked. “That’s bait.”
He lamented that soldiers were killed by terrorists in a military recruitment center and at a military base because they were not allowed to have weapons – even though they were trained to use firearms.
This is common sense to most Americans outside of the Beltway and the coasts. Good for Trump for understanding.
