Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Defends Second Amendment

Trump spoke to the press recently about his stance on gun control following the Oregon college campus shooting. Regardless of how you feel about him, I think we mostly agree that we should be looking at these perpetrators, not the guns themselves.

“Can you imagine with Trump, somebody says, ‘Ohhh, all these big monsters aren't around, he's easy pickins, and then … pu-ching!” Trump said to laughter and applause. “So this is about self-defense, plain and simple.”

Trump criticized “gun-free zones,” saying that the Oregon shootings could have been limited if instructors or students had been armed. He said better mental health care would help curb future shootings.
