Donald Trump tells US gun advocates that they have a "friend" at the White House
US President Donald Trump on Friday assured members of the National Rifle Association (NRA), the largest lobby group in the country, that they have A "friend" in the White House, and promised that he would never act against the right to bear arms. The information is from the EFE agency.
"The last eight years' attack on your rights protected by the Second Amendment has come to a surprising end. You now have a friend in the White House," Trump said in a speech at the annual NRA convention City of Atlanta in the state of Georgia.
"I promise you that as president I will never interfere with the right of people to own and bear arms. Freedom is not a gift from the government, it is a gift from God," he added.
Trump is the first president to address the NRA's annual meeting since Ronald Reagan in 1983, a fact the mogul proudly highlighted while boasting about the public support that this powerful lobby gave him during the 2016 election campaign.
"You have supported me, and I will support you now," said the American official, who on Saturday (29) completes 100 days in power. Trump urged those present to keep a close eye on those who want to attack the right to carry weapons.
"When someone forbids guns, (the result is that) only the criminals will be armed," Trump argued, asserting that "responsible arms ownership saves lives." In addition, Trump argued that his government "has moved swiftly to restore something that matters a great deal to gun owners: law enforcement" by providing "clear" support to law enforcement and law enforcement officials.
MS-13
In particular, the US president emphasized the zero tolerance policy declared by his government against the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) group, a criminal organization that appeared on the streets of Los Angeles, California, and which gained strength in Central America , Especially in El Salvador.
"They know what MS-13 is, do not they?" "Things are no longer pleasant for them." "Let's get them out of here, is not it?Said Trump.
The Republican tycoon's stance on gun control contrasts sharply with that articulated by former President Barack Obama who has stated on several occasions that one of his biggest frustrations was that he could not do anything to prevent the deaths of innocent people in violent episodes involving massacres With firearms occurring regularly in the USA.
Obama promoted arms control measures in 2013, but Congress did not even approve of the more consensual initiative in the country, the buyer's background check, due in part to the NRA's strong political influence.
