USA: Trump on Paris massacre: it would have been 'different story' if victims had guns

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump delivered a speech in Knoxville, Monday night, in which he slammed open borders, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and gun control laws. Commenting on Friday night's deadly shooting at the Baclaran theatre in Paris, he said if "25 people in there that had guns" it would have been a "whole different story ... there would have been the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral." Turning to the issue of the self-proclaimed Islamic State Trump said, "somebody criticised me the other day because they asked me what I'd do, and I said "'I'd bomb the shit out of them.'" Taking aim at Merkel's refugee policy, the Republican candidate said, "I think what she did to Germany is a disgrace. It's a disgrace. It's a total disgrace. And they [refugees] walked all through Europe to get to Germany." A group of pro- and anti-Trump protesters gathered outside the convention centre, with the latter group holding signs with slogans such as ""no borders, we are one."
