Republican front-runner Donald Trump promised his approach to terrorism would be "so tough you don't want to hear" during a raucous rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
With nearly half the 50-minute event devoted to audience questions, Trump talked up the value of waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques and told a questioner he would take a very different approach to terrorism than President Obama.
"We are going to handle it so tough," Trump said. "I would handle it so tough you would have no idea."
He also said the attacks in Paris and shootings in San Bernardino could have ended differently if the victims had been armed.
"If the people in Paris or California, if you had a couple of folks in there with guns, and that knew how to use them, and they were in that room, you wouldn't have dead people, the dead people would be the other guys," Trump said.

Trump suggested the situation in California might have been prevented if a neighbour of the suspects had spoken up about odd behaviour rather than remaining silent for fear of being accused of racial profiling.
"We have become so politically correct that we don't know what the hell we're doing," Trump said.
He also said authorities had failed to aggressively question the spouses of those involved in the September 11, 2001 terrorists attacks in New York and Washington.
"Those wives knew what their husbands were going to do," Trump said.
