Don’t look at me! Put guns in church: Don

There’s nothing he can do.

Massacres like the one that unfolded at a Pittsburgh synagogue have “little to do” with lax gun laws and are “even tougher when you’re the President of the United States and you have to watch this kind of a thing happen,” President Trump said Saturday afternoon.

Trump painted himself as a helpless observer unable to prevent such tragedies, despite being the leader of the free world.

“For me, as President, to watch any of this go, you know, before I ran for office, I’d watch incidents like this with churches and other things and think, what a shame, what a shame,” he said. “But it’s even tougher when you’re the President of the United States and you have to watch this kind of a thing happen. It is so sad to see.”

Instead of strengthening gun laws, the commanderin-chief suggested the U.S. should “stiffen up our laws in terms of the death penalty” and advised houses of worship to hire armed protection.

“This has little to do with (gun laws) if you take a look,” Trump said. “If they’d had protection inside, the result would have been a lot better.”

“Maybe it could have been a very much different situation,” he added.

At least 11 people were killed and six injured — including four police officers — when suspected gunman Robert Bowers opened fire on dozens of congregants inside the Tree of Life synagogue.

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a prominent gun reform advocacy group, countered Trump sentiment on Saturday.

“Americans should be able to worship in peace, without the threat of being gunned down,” the group tweeted.

Trump later addressing the Future Farmers of America convention in Indianapolis called the attack a “wicked act of mass murder” that “is pure evil, hard to believe and frankly something that is unimaginable.”

He added that anti-Semitism “must be confronted anywhere and everywhere it appears”

The President’s initial comments Saturday closely echoed the National Rifle Association’s usual talking points in the wake of such shootings.
