Following a mass shooting at Florida State University, President Trump defended the Second Amendment, stating that the firearm is not responsible for the tragic event. Two people were killed and several others injured in the attack allegedly carried out by 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner. Trump noted he has been an advocate for the Second Amendment and suggested that there won't be immediate changes in gun legislation, highlighting his obligation to protect this constitutional right.
I'm a big advocate of the Second Amendment, Trump replied. I have been from the beginning. I protected it. And these things are terrible. But the gun doesn't do the shooting. The people do.
As far as legislation is concerned, this has been going on for a long time. I have an obligation to protect the Second Amendment. I ran on the Second Amendment, among many other things, and I will always protect the Second Amendment.
