said he would have run unarmed into a school to stop an active shooter?

Trump said that the police response to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida was “disgusting.” He claimed that, “I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would’ve done that too.”

17 people died in what was at the time the second-deadliest school shooting in American history.

10 years prior, Trump recounted to Howard Stern about how he was too disgusted to help an elderly man who had fallen and was bleeding heavily.

claimed Clinton wanted to “release the violent criminals from jail,” and “abolish the second amendment”?

As Trump accepted the support of the NRA during the 2016 campaign, he claimed that Clinton was seeking to let violent criminals out of prison and take away the guns of law-abiding citizens.

“Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the second amendment, remember that. We’re not talking about change it, she wants to abolish the second amendment,” Trump alleged. He also claimed that she would “release the violent criminals from jail.”

Although Clinton called for tightening restrictions on guns, she never suggested overturning the Second Amendment or letting violent criminals out of prison.

In the same speech, Trump sparked outrage with a depiction of a French mass shooting. During his first year in office, he suggested taking guns from citizens without due process.
