Just days after the heavy mass shooting in a school in Uvalde, when 19 children and two teachers lost their lives, the arms show began in Houston under the auspices of the lobby organization NRA. One of the speakers was former US President Donald Trump, who read out the names of all the victims while ringing an electronic bell.
Trump called the school massacre in Uvalde terrible, but dismissed that weapons would be the problem when it comes to school shootings. Instead, he believes that they can be linked to mental illness and lack of security in schools.
The ex-president said that bad behavior in schools must be addressed early on, while at the same time a review of safety is needed. All schools must have a single monitored entrance, metal detectors and the building must be fenced so that no one can enter with weapons. Armed police must be on site and teachers must have the right to carry weapons.
“No one should be able to enter classrooms before they have been checked,” Trump said.
He also attacked US involvement abroad, saying the United States should be able to keep American children safe if it could send $ 40 billion to Ukraine.
– This is about saving our children’s lives.
