He then called for the nation\u2019s schools to be \u201cthe single harshest target in our country\u201d by allowing teachers to concealed carry and prevent gun-free zones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no sign more inviting to a mass killer than a sign that declares a gun-free zone,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThe most dangerous place. I know it sounds good and it really does, doesn\u2019t it sound wonderful? But it\u2019s not. And statistically it\u2019s a total disaster. A gun-free zone, they look at that sign and they say \u2018that\u2019s where I\u2019m going.\u2019 We cannot have that because if somebody goes into that building, all of those innocent people will be taken out, will be killed, will be tortured. Bad things will happen, [we] have to get rid of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the age-old saying goes, \u2018the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,&#8217;\u201d he continued. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/27\/greg-abbott-cancels-nra-convention-appearance-uvalde-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Gov.

He then criticized Democrats for allegedly wanting \u201ccomplete gun confiscation\u201d and placing the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/28\/don-jr-gun-rights-organization-second-amendment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Second Amendment<\/a> \u201cunder siege.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis would be a first step. Once they get the first step, they\u2019ll take the second step, the third, the fourth and then we\u2019ll have a whole different look at the Second Amendment which is, by the way, totally under siege,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we stopped it for four years and we\u2019ve got to stop it. But even if every decent and honest American gave up their guns, the criminals would never give up theirs and they never will. They\u2019re never going to give up theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact is there will always be sick and demonic souls who wish to harm the innocent and see malice and triumph over good. But the existence of evil in our world is not a reason to disarm law-abiding citizens who know how to use their weapon and protect a lot of people,\u201d said Trump. \u201cThe existence of evil is one of the very best reasons to arm law-abiding citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/26\/don-mclean-nra-uvalde-texas-shooting-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NRA\u2019s<\/a> mission is to train and equip nearly 1 million Americans in order to be ready to defend themselves to protect \u201cthe vulnerable\u201d and by \u201csafeguarding the innocent.\u201d He pointed to FBI data finding that armed individuals took out four active shooters in the last year to save \u201ccountless innocent lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, there were four active shooters who were taken out by an armed civilian bravely exercising their Second Amendment rights,\u201d he said. \u201cSaving countless [of] innocent lives.
