Trump calls deadly FSU shooting "terrible," suggests he won't back new gun laws

President Trump said Thursday a shooting at Florida State University that killed two people was "terrible" and a "shame," but suggested he's unlikely to back any new gun control measures — saying he's a "big advocate of the Second Amendment."

Asked by reporters if he planned on looking at stricter gun laws in the wake of the shooting, Mr. Trump said, "These things are terrible. But the gun doesn't do the shooting, the people do." 

"As far as legislation is concerned, this has been going on for a long time," Mr. Trump added. "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."
