In the wake of a devastating shooting that killed four U.S. Marines in Chattanooga yesterday, presidential candidate Donald Trump has unloaded on President Obama, demanding that he stop being politically correct when dealing with the threat of radical Islam.
The gunman, Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, has been associated with Islam through his social media postings which showed an increased devotion to the religion.
Trump called into the O’Reilly Factor last night, and explained that the “religion of peace” needs to stop being coddled every time a terrorist attack takes place in the name of Islam.
“If we’re going to fight elements that are causing tremendous problems,” Trump explained, “at least we have to start maybe being not so politically correct.”
He also called out the “ridiculous” notion of gun-free zones, especially at military installations. The four Marines killed yesterday were unarmed.
Just days prior to this terror attack, Trump vowed to re-arm our servicemen and women.
In an interview with AmmoLand Shooting Sports News, Trump was asked what he would do with gun-free military bases that have become “death traps.”
He responded:
As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases.
President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed.
They will be able to defend themselves against terrorists. Our brave soldiers should not be at risk because of policy created by civilian leadership. Political correctness has no place in this debate.”
In Trump’s interview with O’Reilly, he explained that these attacks are “going to get worse in our country.”
“We better start fighting a lot tougher than we’re fighting right now.”
Watch the segment below …
Do you believe our fighting men and women need to be armed at military installations, better able to defend themselves against terror attacks such as Chattanooga?
I’m not a psychic nor a seer, but I have this nagging feeling that these incidents happen because someone behind the scenes calls for them. Why else would they attack unarmed military personnel. I’m sure the terrorists had been for-warned,or like me, did they have a “premonition.” These types of acts are recorded in the annals of WWII The Germans annihilating the Jews. Unimaginable, I know, but why else would a Commander-in-Chief want to disarm military personnel and make them vulnerable. I’m just saying. I was eight when WWII started, and I’ll never forget the lessons I learned. Mainly, always error on the side of caution.
Go get them, Donald!
The Donald, some hate him, some Love him, but this man is what this country needs. A leader who is not afraid of stomping on some toes if needed and again Mr. Trump knows money and how to make it. This country needs to get the almighty power of the dollar back. SO GO GET UM MR. TRUMP.
Thank you, Mr. Trump!!!
Dam Straight!
THANK YOU SIR!
TYour damn right they need to be armed what the hell is wrong with this Nation good Lord 4 Marines slaughtered because they couldn’t defend themselves OMG
Political Correctness is strangling America!
This should be a “non discussion”arm our military is there to protect us our cities,and themselves in case of domestic,or foreign threats.I do know there have been several oddballs going rogue and shooting up their base,but a good psyche evaluation should prevent some of that.AT THIS POINT RECRUITERS NEED THEIR WEAPONS,THERE SHOULD BE ARMED GUARDS OUTSIDE EVERY INSTALLATION,I REMEMBER IN THE 60S AND 7OS,driving by and seeing soldiers,one on either side of the door with rifles in full dress..I kind of miss that!But then it was a bad time as well,we had people protesters against the Veitnam war.
our armed forces are just that, this should not be an issue, the commander in chief should immediately arm all personel everywhere in our country, “PERIOD” no matter where they are
Of course they should be armed. Why would we take away arms from the Armed Forces?????
What kind of “Military” would it be if they can’t protect themselves or the country? This is ludacris!
