Late last week, Donald Trump moronically claimed that if people dancing the night away at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, had been packing heat, they could have prevented the massacre that killed 49 and wounded 53 people:
"If we had people, where the bullets were going the opposite direction, right smack between the eyes of this maniac… if some of those wonderful people had guns strapped right here to their waist, or to their ankle, and this sonovabitch comes out and starts shooting, and one of the people in that room happens to have it and goes ‘boom’, y’know what, that would’ve been a beautiful, beautiful sight folks. A beautiful beautiful sight."
Today, Tweety tried to walk back—let’s call it a lie—that idiocy:
When I said that if, within the Orlando club, you had some people with guns, I was obviously talking about additional guards or employees
Oh... THOSE beautiul people.

Even the nutzy NRA thinks Trump's idea is well, nutzy.
On "This Week" one of the NRA’s top lobbyists threw a shade pile on that idea.
While admitting that he agrees with Trump on many issues, Chris Cox, the executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, said Trump’s suggestion is both dangerous and against the law.
“No one thinks that people should go into a nightclub drinking and carrying firearms,” Cox explained. “That defies common sense. That also defies the law. That’s not what we’re talking about here.”
