Donald Trump Calls for Guns to Be Allowed in Bars

In Wake of Orlando Mass Shooting Terror Attack GOP Presumptive Nominee Calls for Americans Under the Influence of Alcohol to Be Armed and Ready

Donald Trump says if only the 320 patrons at Pulse had guns strapped to their waists or ankles, the terrorist who massacred dozens of people in the Orlando gay nightclub Sunday morning would not have been able to murder so many people. 

The Republican presumptive nominee Monday morning suggested that people under the influence of alcohol, drinking, and dancing to loud music in a dark nightclub should be carrying firearms.

Trump told CNN, “if you had some guns in that club the night that this took place, if you had guns on the other side, you wouldn’t have had the tragedy that you had.”

“If you had guns in that room, even if you had a number of people having them strapped to their ankle or strapped to their waist where bullets could have flown in the other direction right at him, you wouldn’t have had the same kind of a tragedy,” Trump insisted.
