Groups gripe that Trump didn’t talk gun control in State of Union address (VIDEO)

By Chris Eger

President Donald Trump covered a number of topics in his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday but largely skipped gun politics.
Moving through the economy, jobs, and international trade, Trump spoke to the need to rebuild the country’s infrastructure, fix immigration policy and strengthen national security. Though he did give a nod to “strangers shielding strangers from a hail of gunfire on the Las Vegas strip” in speaking to American heroes, he largely did not address the subject of gun regulation, in a departure from past addresses given during the Obama era.
While on the campaign trail last year Trump spoke to eliminating gun free zones and protecting carry rights, he briefly mentioned the right to keep and bear arms to Congress this week.
Addressing the courts, the President said “Working with the Senate, we are appointing judges who will interpret the Constitution as written, including a great new Supreme Court Justice, and more circuit court judges than any new administration in the history of our country,” then followed up by saying, “We are defending our Second Amendment, and have taken historic actions to protect religious liberty.”
