Those are the ideas proposed by President Trump a while ago in response to the Florida School massacre. The president said he met with leaders of the National Rifle association over the weekend and, quote, theyre on our side. The president also told a meeting of the nations governors there is one area where hes ready to take action. Bump stocks, were writing that out. Im writing that out myself.
