President Trump denounced the shooting at Florida State University that resulted in two deaths and six injuries, labeling it a 'shame' but maintaining his stance against new gun control legislation. He asserted that guns do not commit shootings, referencing the responsibility of individuals. Despite the tragic incident, Trump emphasized his dedication to protecting the Second Amendment, mentioning his previous election stance. Additionally, his administration is expected to roll back existing gun control measures, including a proposal to restore gun ownership rights to individuals with criminal records.
These things are terrible, but the gun doesn't do the shooting the people do, Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
I will tell you that it's a shame. His remarks came in response to a reporter who asked if he wanted to make any changes to the country's gun laws in light of the shooting.
I have an obligation to protect the Second Amendment. I ran on the Second Amendment.
Since Mr. Trump took office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives...has been weakened by staff departures and by the diversion of agents from core duties to immigration enforcement.
