Former President Donald Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office today, addressing the recent school shooting in Florida. He described the event as a 'shame' and offered condolences to the victims and their families. However, Trump signaled no significant shift in his stance on gun control, stating that he would 'always protect the Second Amendment.'
His remarks come as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the shooting, prompting renewed debate over gun violence and potential legislative responses. Advocacy groups on both sides of the issue have voiced their opinions, with some calling for stricter background checks and limitations on certain types of firearms. Others maintain that the focus should be on mental health resources and enforcing existing laws.
Trump's reaffirmation of his commitment to the Second Amendment suggests that major changes to federal gun laws are unlikely in the near future. The White House has not yet released a detailed plan of action in response to the Florida shooting, but officials have indicated that they are exploring various options to address the issue of gun violence in America.
