According to the newspaper GuardianMr. Trump spent a moment of silence in memory of the victims of the Robb School shooting, before he praised the “great NRA”.
Rejecting calls for more gun control, the former president criticized “some people in our society always have a grotesque attempt to exploit the suffering of others to advance the political agenda.” their extremism”.
Like many Republicans in Texas and across the country, Mr. Trump focused on the gunman who carried out the massacre, not the weapon he used.
“We need a drastic change in our approach to mental health,” Trump said.
On proposed school security improvements, Trump said each school should have only one entrance, with fortified fences and metal detectors, Reuters news agency reported. According to Mr. Trump, schools should also have policemen or armed guards standing guard at all times.
“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,” Trump added.
In addition, the former US president also called for the removal of gun-free zones in schools. Mr Trump said such areas would leave victims without means to defend themselves in the event of an attack by an armed person.
“The only way to stop a bad guy from having a gun is for a good guy to have a gun,” Trump added.
The NRA’s annual event is held in Houston, Texas. Many pro-gun politicians and entertainment stars refused to attend the event at the last minute, following the tragedy at Robb School in Uvalde.
This year’s NRA event program features additional reflections on the Uvalde elementary school shooting.
