Trump tells NRA a civilian gunman could have stopped Paris attack

Source: France24

Latest update : 2018-05-05

In a speech before cheering members of the National Rifle Association on Friday, President Donald Trump blamed the scale of the 2015 Paris terror attacks on France’s strict gun control laws and called again for the arming of school teachers.

Trump called France’s gun laws “the toughest gun laws in the world,” and said that they prevented victims of the deadly 2015 attacks from fighting the terrorists.

“They took their time and gunned them down one by one,” Trump said of the terrorists, using his hand to pantomime the shooting: "Boom. Come over here. Boom. Come over here. Boom."

130 people were killed in the series of coordinated bombings and shootings that took place on the night of November 13, 2015. Gunmen held hundreds hostage in the Bataclan theater. 89 were killed.
