When asked by a reporter in Korea about "vetting" for gun buyers/owners he didn't want to answer the question and then when he did, he pretended that it wouldn't have made any difference. YET...when a Muslim runs down people with a rented truck, killing far fewer, he immediately started his rhetoric about how they should be stopped. What a lying hypocrite!!
Trump was asked during a press conference in South Korea about his recent comments calling for "extreme vetting" immediately following the New York City terror attack, and whether he would favor similar scrutiny for those looking to purchase firearms.
"If you did what you're suggesting, there would have been no difference three days ago," Trump said, before turning to praise the actions of a bystander who engaged the shooter following his rampage. "You might not have had that very brave person who happened to have a gun or a rifle in his truck, go out and shoot him and hit him and neutralize him."
The president added, "I can only say this. If [the neighbor] didn't have a gun, instead of 26 dead, you would have had hundreds more dead. So that's the way I feel about it, not going to help."
"Vetting wouldn't have helped"?? The AF already admitted they screwed up and the idiot should never have been able to buy a gun. He wasn't vetted...he wasn't even reported to the right sources. He also threatened his wife several times with a loaded gun and injured his young step child by hitting him on the head...yet why didn't the courts see to it that he was not fit to buy a gun?? Isn't that vetting??
Another thing Trump said that was asinine...If the culprit was vetted "you might not have had that very brave person who happened to have a gun or a rifle in his truck". DUH!!! If he was 'vetted' and unable to buy his guns...there wouldn't have been a need for the "good guy" who got his assault rifle out of the locked gun case...NOT out of his truck. If that good guy was in the house napping and had a gun like that in his "TRUCK" he'd have been culpable if a person had broken into the truck and used the gun on others.
And 'you would have had HUNDREDS more dead? The magazines they found were empty...what was he going to kill the "hundreds" with?? Trump, as usual, lies and exaggerates to keep from admitting that in the US, the gun laws aren't good enough, and they are not enforced. AND the Assault rifle (like the one he used) was banned until another Republican President let the ban lapse.
Trump better stick to lying to the S. Koreans, pretending he has all the answers there, and ask himself why thousands of South Koreans have been protesting him and don't want him there. He's an IDIOT.
