NFL fans and voters reacted to Donald Trump’s comments following the deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Wednesday. Trump’s comments came after President Joe Biden released a statement asking for more gun control.
Donald Trump wants to protect the Second Amendment
Per Adam Gibby with GH, Trump said he would protect the Second Amendment:
Just hours following the shooting that left one dead and 22 injured at the parade for the Kansas City Chiefs, Donald Trump gave a strong message in South Carolina during a rally about gun control. While he never objectively stated this his remarks were in response to the shooting, it isn’t tough to connect the two dots and see that this was intentional.
During the rally, he said the following:
“Nobody took care of our Second Amendment [more than me], during that four-year period, nothing happened with our Second Amendment,” Trump said of his first term in office. “We will protect innocent life, and we will restore free speech.”
Numerous politicians on the left, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, asked for more gun control as well. Specifically, Pelosi and Biden would like to see the return of the Assault Weapons Ban.
The motive for the shooting was unrelated to the Kansas City Chiefs parade
Per a report by Reuters, police said Thursday they believed the violent attack was the result of a personal dispute. It’s unclear what type of gun was used in the shooting, so we don’t know if the Assault Weapons Ban would have curbed the attack. Police recovered several guns.
NFL Fans react to Trump’s message
Most of the reaction on Trump’s message was negative. However, many conservatives defended Trump’s beliefs on guns.
I support Donald Trump and MAGA. I couldn't care less what some diapered pansy's views are concerning this shooting. The blame always comes from limp rod leftists that make all solutions simple; you guys did it. https://t.co/2HmIAJ8Wz6

He likes to blame Biden and Democrats for everything.

Let's see how the DEMOCRATS in Washington DC can spin the shooting at Kansas City Chiefs celebration to implicate Donald Trump and the entire MAGA movement as the ORCHESTRATERS

The man cares about no one or nothing but himself and what benefits him. He can even pretend to care. He is totally despicable!
