United States President Donald Trump said that gunfire at Florida State University in Tallahassee, which left two dead and five injured is “a shame,” but said it is unlikely to seek changes in the country’s weapons ownership.
“See, I’m a great advocate of the second amendment, it happened from the beginning. I protected it, and these things are terrible, but the gun doesn’t shoot, people shoot,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Hall as he signed.
The second amendment of the American Constitution guarantees the right of possession and possession of weapons for self -defense.
“With regard to the legislation, this has been happening for a long time. I have an obligation to protect the second amendment, I applied based on the second amendment, among many other things, and I will always protect the second amendment,” he said.
During his first term, Trump suggested that he would be open to expanding antecedent checks for the purchase of firearms, but then seemed to go back in these statements after meeting with the then-executive president of the National Rifle Association, Wayne Lapierre, in the White House.
In comments during the election campaign, Trump told the supporters in October 2024 that the second amendment “is under attack”, promoting his NRA support.
