After a shooter massacred 19 students and two teachers at a Texas school this week, former US President Donald Trump called for an end to gun-free school zones.
Former US President Donald Trump called for an end to gun-free zones. He also stated that the government should make it easier to detain “mentally ill” individuals.
“As the adage goes, the only way to stop a bad man with a gun is a good guy,” Trump remarked at the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) annual meeting in Houston.
He believes that gun-free school zones should be deleted because they leave victims with no way to protect themselves in an armed attack. “One of the biggest reasons to law-abiding arm persons is the existence of evil.”
Mass Shootings in US Schools
The tragic shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde by an 18-year-old assailant with an AR-15-style semiautomatic weapon has focused attention on the NRA, a significant fundraiser to members of Congress largely Republicans.
Trump stated, “Clearly, we need to make it considerably easier to lock the aggressive and mentally disturbed into mental facilities.”
According to the former US president, every school should have a single point of entry, sturdy fencing, and metal detectors, as well as a police officer or an armed guard on duty at all times.
“This isn’t a financial issue. It’s a question of willpower. If the US provides $40 billion to Ukraine, then we can work on this too “He was alluding to the United States’ financial and military help to Ukraine following Russia’s incursion.
Adam Lanza, a 20-year-old shooter, stormed a Connecticut elementary school in 2012 and used an AR-15-style weapon to murder 26 people, predominantly children. Long-time gun-rights proponents in Congress from both parties said they were open to new laws. But, in a combative statement a week later, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre stated exactly what Trump said a decade later.
“Stop a Bad Person with a Gun is a Good Guy with a Gun”
“The only thing that can stop a bad person with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” says the narrator. “He blamed the slaughter on video games, spineless politicians, the media, and perverted culture, while also calling for armed guards at schools around the country.
On the other hand, LaPierre didn’t have to confront the slaughter this time; the organization’s Republican friends in Congress did.
“The issue begins with individuals. Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, an A-rating and NRA support, told reporters on Wednesday that gun ownership shouldn’t be a priority. This captures the sentiment of many Republicans, particularly given the party’s recent rightward swing.
“I’m very sorry for what occurred. But, no, firearms aren’t the issue. The issue is with the people. That’s where it all begins. And we’ve always had firearms, and we’ll continue to have guns.”
Since Sandy Hook, a lot has changed. After a succession of costly financial scandals and litigation, the NRA is on the verge of collapse. A rising gun control movement has put tens of millions of dollars into political campaigns to counter this message.
Although mass shootings occur regularly, one thing remains constant in Washington- Republicans and Democrats agree that a closely divided Congress is unlikely to pass legislation strengthening gun control.
Despite public support for tighter gun legislation, the impasse persists, demonstrating the gun rights lobby’s continuing influence. Since 1989, the gun rights lobby has lobbyed the federal government with USD 171 million.
At the state level, the gun rights movement has successfully eliminated laws that need a permit to carry a concealed firearm.
In the last year, over half of the states in the US have repealed similar legislation, including Texas, Indiana, and Tennessee.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is set to give its most significant gun rule in more than a decade, making it easier to carry firearms in public in some of the country’s most populous cities.
