Washington
(AFP) - President Donald Trump and America's powerful gun lobby on
Thursday cast citizens with weapons as a solution to shootings, as it
emerged an armed deputy was on campus during a deadly Florida rampage
but failed to act.
National
Rifle Association chief Wayne LaPierre hit back at what he called "the
shameful politicization of tragedy" and repeated the organization's
position that "to stop a bad guy with a gun, it takes a good guy with a
gun," while Trump made a controversial call to arm teachers.
The
Broward County sheriff said Thursday that an armed deputy was in fact
present during the Valentine's Day rampage that left 17 dead in a
Florida high school, but did not act to stop it.
