In an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Trump said Americans have been too politically correct with Muslims in America, arguing that people knew what the San Bernardino attackers were planning, but didn’t want to report them for fear of profiling the individuals. “Most of them went back to Saudi Arabia.

“We have to be looking at a lot of different things, but we can’t do anything to hurt the Second Amendment”.
