10,000, 20,000? Do you have a number?... So -- I want to get specific with you like I will with Ted Cruz and everybody else because I think people need to start giving us specifics on how we get there.” TRUMP: “Well, I've been specific.” SCARBOROUGH: ”So 10,000 troops?... I'm talking specifically about ground troops… So would you support taking it, say, ten thousand ground troops as part of an international force?... Would you support 10,000 ground troops?” TRUMP: “I would. Yes, I would.” [Morning Joe, MSNBC, 12/8/15] Trump’s Gun Policy: More Guns TRUMP BELIEVES THAT MORE GUNS CAN LIMIT CASUALTIES DURING MASS SHOOTINGS Trump Said If He Were At The Paris Or San Bernardino Shooting, “And If I Had A Gun, I'm -- We're Going Down Shooting. We're Going To Knock Them Out, OK, One Way Or The Other.” TRUMP: “What's too far? What's too far? They're killing people, whether it's what we just saw in California or in Paris. They're killing people, innocent people, people without guns. You look at Paris, no guns, nothing. You look at California, no guns. I can tell you one thing. If I'm in there and if I had a gun, I'm -- we're going down shooting. We're going to knock them out, OK, one way or the other. And if a couple of guns are in that room, you talk about Second Amendment, which I'm a big believer in the Second Amendment. In Paris, they had no guns. In California, they had no guns. Only the bad guys had the guns. So, they were like sitting ducks, every one of them.” [Face The Nation, CBS, 12/6/15] 1/7/15: Donald Trump Tweeted About French Gun Control Laws After The Shootings At The French Satirical Newspaper Charlie Hebdo. “As such, it was no surprise that after shootings at the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris this week, some Americans began to wonder about gun control laws. ‘Isn't it interesting that the tragedy in Paris took place in one of the toughest gun control countries in the world?’ American reality television star Donald Trump wrote on Twitter shortly after the news broke.

Next!’’ the former reality TV star told Boston radio host Jeff Kuhner. ‘Just people were totally defenseless. If you had a guy like you or me, or some other guys in that room that had guns, it wouldn’t have been that way, Jeff. You know. It wouldn’t have been that way.’ Trump made the comments after saying that, because of French gun laws, ‘nobody had a gun’ to shoot the attackers, adding that ‘the only ones that had the guns are the bad guys.’” [Buzzfeed, 11/18/15] TRUMP OCCASIONALLY CARRIES A GUN, BUT ADMITS HE’S “NOT SUCH A GREAT SHOT” Confidential Page 39
