NRA says Trump’s Orlando comments ‘defy common sense’
- 8 years ago
The NRA's top lobbyist said no one should go into a nightclub "drinking and carrying firearms" when asked about Donald Trump's comments about whether armed club-goers may have prevented the Orlando nightclub shooting, and NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre echoed those remarks in a separate interview.
Trump told supporters at a rally in Texas on Friday night that the tragedy, in which 49 people died at the hands of gunman Omar Mateen, could have been prevented if the victims had weapons of their own.
