After a deadly school shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, Trump suggested he was open to new gun control measures. He held a meeting with senators, declaring that he would stand up to the gun lobby and calling for a “comprehensive” bill.
But Trump later backpedaled from those sweeping statements, offering a more limited plan. After he advocated increasing the minimum age to purchase an assault weapon to 21, Trump tweeted there was “not much political support” for the idea.
I hope he’ll be careful. Wouldn’t want any one to shoot him.
(Just a thought: Is the Secret Service going to make sure that there are no guns (except theirs) in the hall? How ironic!
They already banned guns from the convention, before this was announced, because VP is also going.
SUPREME irony!
(You can tell I’m not much in touch with the NRA.)
Feel free to assert your right to conceal and carry at shopping malls, college campuses, your local grocery store, et cetera. But at the NRA Convention…No!
It’s the one ‘gun-free zone’ no one complains about.
And kids in school are still fair game. Trump, Pence, and the NRA are vile.
