In a campaign stop in Burlington, Vt., on Thursday, top Republican presidential contender Donald Trump pledged to put an end to gun-free school zones because they only served as a warped temptation for those who would do children harm.

Some who made it through security told NBC News they were asked if they were Trump supporters.
Anyone who did not answer with some version of “yes” was not allowed inside. After being interrupted more than half a dozen times, Trump started to lose patience.
Does he want to show GOP voters that he is the candidate who can, finally, flip those three Electoral College votes Vermont has? “They are loyal to me and I am loyal to them”, he said in a statement released by his campaign.
Protesters are escorted away from the Trump rally in the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington Thursday.
A series of other interruptions followed, dominating the evening. Instead, Trump continued to sign autographs for supporters, ignoring CNN’s questions. Its incredible, right? Trump, in remarks lasting more than an hour, delivered many of his now-routine lines promising to build a great wall on the southern border and delivering so many victories that youre going to be bored of winning..
In one case, a handful of supporters towered over a young woman in a winter cap seated in the crowd and yelled, “Out! Out!”
Security quickly removed the protester from the event. They stood outside during Trump’s speech, and cheered when people left the building.
Most of the deli’s other sandwiches sell for about $7 to $10.
Katina Cummings said she was prevented from entering the Flynn when she said she didn’t support Trump.

Last night, Donald Trump took his travelling Muslim-bashing, racist-baiting, headline-grabbing roadshow to a place that few probably expected it would go: the Flynn Center in Burlington, Vermont.

Donald Trump has dealt with his latest heckler in typical Trump fashion by calling for him to be sent out into the chilly climes – without a coat. “If he wins the Republican nomination, we’ll have plenty of time to talk”, Mr. Clinton told reporters Thursday while stopping at a market in Cedar Rapids, where he tried various foods and spoke to customers.
“Not everything in a presidential campaign can be accomplished with a speech or a rally”, said Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, a grassroots conservative political group, and a former White House political director for President George W. Bush. President Obama, he said, “doesn’t have a clue”.
Bernie Sanders, the main target. “He’s not from here”.
“He likes being in his own bed, even if it means coming into Teterboro or LaGuardia after midnight”, he added, referring to two airports Trump uses in the NY area. Our whole state has actually changed because of Bernie Sanders. “That is insane; I admit it. Yes”, he said.
Trump’s been railing against gun-free zones on military bases for a while now-and generally espousing the NRA-approved belief about the benefits of “good guys with guns”-but his position on school zones appears to be new”.
