Trump has previously said it was a mental health issue and nothing to do with guns.

Here’s what people made of his latest statement.
So his defense is the guy with the gun who “neutralized” he shooter would not of passed vetting to buy his rifle?

Yeah nevermind that the shooter wouldn't have had one either. What with his court martial, domestic violence, and dishonorable discharge.

He is a complete idiot! He was leaving when he was engaged by the citizen, and I don't think there were hundreds in that church!#GunControl

People love to use that rhetoric like mass shootings don’t catch EVERYONE by surprise. No ones walking around, guns drawn, ready to defend.

And the assumption is everyone is ready to defend themselves under duress…

RIGHT! The whole clergy should be strapped, highly trained for surprise attacks, with lightning quick reflexes just to praise the Lord smh
