Trump said that "extreme vetting" for gun ownership wouldn't have prevented the Texas church massacre and said there would've been "hundreds more dead" if the gun laws were stricter.  Trump made those remarks at a joint conference in Seoul alongside Korea President Moon Jae-in.  A reporter asked Trump would he consider "extreme vetting" not only for people entering the U.S. but as well for people trying to purchase a gun.  He went on to say that extreme vetting wouldn't have made any difference in Sunday's shooting and would've prevented the actions of the "brave person who happened to have a gun in his truck and shoot him, hit him, and neutralize him."  Trump was referring to Stephen Willeford, a plumber with no military background who managed to shoot the gunman Devin Kelley before jumping in another man's vehicle to chase him down.  Trump said if Willeford didn't have a gun, there would've been more than 26 dead.  It could've been hundreds dead.  Trump went on to say that Kelley had "mental health problems" at the highest level and called the killer a very "deranged individual."  Click on the above link to read the rest of the story.
