President Donald Trump on Wednesday doubled down on his repeated and wildly inaccurate claim that the 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre could have been prevented if attendees had access to firearms. Trump appeared to be more in agreement with Democrats than Republicans during much of the televised White House meeting on gun violence. To back up his ideas, he once again cited the Pulse attack ― which targeted members of the LGBTQ community and left 49 people dead. “As an example, you take Pulse nightclub,” he said, as seen in the Wall Street Journal video above. Adam Gruler was at his second job working Pulse security, and he reportedly exchanged gunfire with shooter Omar Mateen outside the club’s entrance in the wee hours of June 12, 2016.
