Trump: Hundreds more would have died in Texas if gun laws were stricter

He's a danger to America.
But you know that.

At a press conference Tuesday in South Korea, Trump was asked if he would consider seeking “extreme vetting” for gun purchasers similar to what he has advocated for individuals entering the U.S. from other countries. Trump said such screenings would not have stopped Sunday’s gunman, who killed 26 people inside a Texas church, and could potentially have stopped another gun owner from confronting the shooter.

self-inflicted, which had to be the fatal one beyond a shadow of a doubt.

This "good guy with a gun" stuff flooding my FB feed. Strange we haven't seen any of the assorted "good guys" on TV though.
