The View hosts shocked over new Trump shift on guns

The co-hosts of "The View" were both shocked and disgusted after President Donald Trump told the press that protesters shouldn't have the right to carry guns when in the streets.

Before he headed to Iowa on Tuesday, Trump announced, "you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. Listen, you can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. It's just a very unfortunate incident."

Trump's former communications director, Alyssa Farah Griffin quipped, "Rest in peace, Second Amendment!"

"I can't imagine if a democratic president said you can't have a gun. You can't bring a gun. We're not doing guns. People would be up in arms," she added.

Sara Haines agreed, "he's saying that out loud about the Second Amendment. I was shocked a lot of his top administration officials were loosely talking. But I'm getting used to them not fully grasping things like the Constitution."

Her demand, however, is that if the country is going to finally have a conversation about guns they at least mention the epidemic of mass shootings.

"If we have to endure conversations about guns after every school shooting and kids being shot, and how we need good people with guns. Well, Alex Pretti was a good guy with a gun, and we see how that turned out for him," Haines continued.

"But I think if one more person talks about the gun and not having the right it's going to really piss me off because there was no movement after any school shooting. There are a lot of people like myself that believe in the Second Amendment responsible gun ownership."

She noted that there are such a huge range of regulations on guns from Idaho with the weakest and California with the strictest.

"I'd like to see everyone get on board with more reasonable responsible gun laws. Like if this is the time — if we're going to throw it all out the window on one Second Amendment right because it doesn't suit the narrative let's have a real conversation about responsible gun ownership because people seem open to it now," said Haines.
