As the age-old saying goes, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, said former US President Donald Trump over the recent Texas shooting.
In one of the worst school shootings in the US, an 18-year-old gunman in body armour killed 19 children and two teachers inside one classroom at a Texas elementary school recently.
While speaking at a convention in Houston of the National Rifle Association, a gun rights advocacy group, Donald Trump called for ending gun-free school zones and also said that the country should make it easier to confine “deranged” people.
Trump said that gun-free school zones must be eliminated, adding that such zones leave victims with no means to defend themselves in case of an attack by an armed person.
While suggesting that schools should have a “single point of entry, strong fencing and metal detectors” , Trump said, “This is not a matter of money. This is a matter of will. If the United States has $40 billion to send to Ukraine, we can do this.”
