“Yesterday we were talking about how after the regrettable events of the attack against President Trump, the best thing for that nation to give peace to that nation, to face the crisis that they have, that they suffer, as a gesture of the beginning of a new stage, of renewal, of transfiguration, of change, to face the decadence, the best thing would have been a meeting between former President Trump and President Biden to reach at least an agreement, because they all agree that there should be no violence, they both believe in God, I believe that President Trump is an evangelical, President Biden is Catholic, let’s see, let’s look for peace in our country and we’re going to give
“A first step to control the indiscriminate sale of weapons, no,” said López Obrador.
“Yesterday the Republican Convention was held and one of Trump’s advisors said that they are in favor of the Second Amendment, where everyone should have weapons, everyone should have or have the possibility of having a weapon,” he said.
At the National Palace, the federal president criticized the fact that after a shooting at a school in the United States, it was suggested that teachers should go to school armed.

“If we don’t get to the root of the cause, it will be very difficult and that is the main problem they have. It’s all about force, a heavy hand, authoritarianism, no; peace is the fruit of justice, I repeat, and we cannot continue to apply the law of talion, this is not ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’, as Tolstoy already dedicates it, if it were that, we would all be toothless and one-eyed. Evil must be confronted by doing good,” said President López Obrador.
