Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stumbled to clarify his stance on guns in classrooms, contradicting his position on the issue in one breath.

“I don’t want to have guns in classrooms. Although, in some cases, teachers should have guns in classrooms,” Trump said Sunday on “Fox & Friends.”

The real estate mogul doubled down on his contradictory stance as the phone interview continued. “I’m not advocating guns in classrooms,” he reiterated. “In some cases — and a lot of people have made this case — teachers should be able to have guns, trained teachers should be able to have guns in classrooms.”

Trump’s comments came in response to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, who accused him of pandering to the gun lobby after he spoke at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting on Friday and pledged to abolish gun-free zones.
