Former United States President Donald Trump at the 148th National Rifle Association (NRA) in Houston, Texas called for schools across the country to install armed guards, metal detectors and teachers with concealed weapons, describing the Biden administration's general gun rhetoric as "highly divisive and dangerous."
"As always in the wake of these tragedies the various gun control policies pushed by the Left would have done nothing to prevent the horror that took place," Trump highlighted, adding that the current US government does nothing to promptly address psychologically problematic behavior that often leads to school shootings and similar incidents. "The existence of evil is one of the very best reasons to arm law-abiding citizens," he concluded.
Trump referenced the Wednesday elementary school shooting in Texas, in which an armed man opened fire killing at least 19 children and two teachers.
