WASHINGTON (WNB) - President Obama said on Friday that climate change is a prominent contributing factor in the increasing number of gun deaths in the United States and abroad.
"I think it's clear that the increasing temperatures we're experiencing are having a very real effect on guns, especially in the United States where they are killing more people every week," the President told an interviewer on MSNBC's Morning Joe. "Anyone who says a hot gun isn't more likely to injure or kill is simply blind to the truth."
Presidential candidate Donald Trump called Obama's statement "probably the most intelligent thing the President has said this week," while making an obscene hand gesture below his waist.
