Twitter Melts Down After Trump Says Synagogue Needed An Armed Guard

Trump says Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh has “little to do with” gun laws, says the synagogue should have “had some kind of a protection” inside the temple, and later blames synagogue for not having armed guards. pic.twitter.com/AWg5AwkEKp

Rabbis with rifles. That's the answer

And why stop there. Pastors with pistols. Kids with carbines. Oldies with oozies

I would rather place restrictions on who can buy the weapons of war than live in a country where we have to arm teachers and rabbis.

Oh yes. So it's the victims' fault yet again.

Armed trained police were shot. I’m sure guards would have done so much better.

@POTUS @RealDonaldTrump The police were located right around the corner, arrived in one minute, and three of them were shot. The problem is that the killer had an #AssaultWeapon. That's why he killed 11 people before armed police could stop him. #BanAssaultWeapons! Be #ProLife

Somebody needs to tell our NRA-bought president that there were armed guards at Columbine, Virginia Tech, Pulse, the high schools in Parkland and Santa Fe, etc. A deranged civilian w/an AR-15 and a death wish will always overpower security guards. What we need is #GunControlNow.

@POTUS Really? The guy had an AR-15 style war weapon. What good would a guard at the door done? This is most assuredly a gun issue. How did the guy get a weapon of war?

That’s what he wants America to become. Everywhere you go, schools, work, grocery store, place of worship will have armed guards. 😢 #NotInMyAmerica

Dystopia. I want less guns. I blame the shooter and anyone who defends having more guns.

ANOTHER mass murder event with an AR-15 used. This weapon could be moved to Class 3 weapon status TODAY and would be off store shelves TOMORROW. It could be done with a simple written directive to BATFE to classify the AR-15 as a "Destructive Device" which it obviously is.

After getting $30 million from the NRA, Trump will advocate more guns for everyone, probably schoolkids too.

My sister lives near there. She had to abandon her car when this happened. She was impressed by the quick action of the police & others. She was horrified by the words of @realDonaldTrump . She says the area is “ a war zone.”
