As a gunman started shooting. She had this to say to donald trump. If the president wants to come up to me and tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy and how it should never have happened and maintain telling us how nothing is going to be done about it, i will happily ask him how much money he received from the National Rifle association. What shes referring to is the millions of dollars the nra has given towards the trump campaign. On a visit to the hospital where the victims of the attack are being treated, the president once again made no mention of guns or gun control. Instead, he says the problem is mental illness. Just a few kilometres south of where the protest is being held, a gun show is taking place. In the us, there are as many guns as people.

We will actively respond to protectionist measures to protect our interests and resolve these difficulties. Ivejust spoken to p
