Trump says FSU shooting is “a shame,” but touts support for Second Amendment after shooting

From CNN's Donald Judd

President Donald Trump on Thursday called a shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, that left two dead and five injured “a shame,” but said he was unlikely to seek changes to the nation’s gun laws.

“Look, I’m a big advocate of the Second Amendment, that happened from the beginning. I protected it, and these things are terrible, but the gun doesn’t do the shooting, the people do,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when signing unrelated executive orders.

“As far as legislation is concerned, this has been going on for a long time. I have an obligation to protect the Second Amendment, I ran on the Second Amendment, among many other things, and I will always protect the Second Amendment,” he said.

During his first term in office, Trump suggested he’d be open to expanding background checks for purchasing firearms but later seemed to walk back those comments after meeting with then-National Rifle Association chief executive Wayne LaPierre at the White House.

In remarks from the campaign trail, Trump told supporters in October 2024 the Second Amendment “is under siege,” touting his endorsement from the NRA.
