LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Donald Trump on Friday slammed Hillary Clinton as “heartless” for backing restrictions on gun ownership that he said would leave Americans in high-crime areas unable to protect themselves. He turned to his sons again Friday as he opened his remarks to NRA members, noting their long association with the group. Trump backed an assault weapons ban, as well as slightly longer waiting periods for gun purchases, in a 2000 book. Trump centered his remarks on Clinton, claiming she would seek to “abolish” the Second Amendment through the Supreme Court and release violent criminals if elected president. NRA leaders were blistering in their condemnation of Clinton, accusing her of threatening Americans’ freedom and being driven by personal greed.
