focus on gun proposals to get through the senate as opposed to more far-reaching plans. what are you views on that. i want to do something in response to this awful series of attacks on our ones, defenseless citizens and start with the background check bill tomorrow. and then congress gets serious about the assault weapon ban which congress has passed in the past with bipartisan support, a number of republicans supported it, president bush supported it, i believe he he never signed it, to be clear, president clinton signed it but president bush tried to get it through congress to renew it when it expired so there are prominent republicans that support this and those are two things that we could do quickly and i i don t know what is next after that. we know that both of those work and we know that in my state the gun lobby is every bit as powerful with the governor and with the state legislature as it
the mamt was mapayment was made a personal and false allegation in order to pro peserve and prot the president s family. it was certainly an amplification. but to the key question of when this payment was made, if the president knew about it, and whether or not it was deemed a campaign finance violation, well of course this statement doesn t clarify any of that. you pointed out that president trump is set to speak. you see vice president mike p s pence here behind me. we don t expect the president to roll out any new gun proposals today, instead he will try to emphasize some things he talked about in the past in the immediate aftermath of the parkland school shootings, beefing up security, arming teachers, that sort of thing. mr. trump has spoken to this gathering before. this will be his fourth time, but this time he has a bit of a heavier lift. one lady on the way in here said president trump s got to get right with the gun crowd. what she was alluding to, steve, was the fact that, a

his gun proposals after lecturing his fellow republicans about being scared of the nra. i want to bring in cnn krbtor mike many d antonio. hello. welcome to the program. president trump unveiled his initial proposal to prevent mass shootings at school and it bears very little resemblance to the tone and substance we heard from the president in february. if includes some training for qualified personnel and a proposal to raise the age limit on certain gun purchases. is betsy devos caving to the nra, or is he caving to the nra, i should say? well, of course he is. but, you know, this is something that we ve seen before where a bold statement will be made and then there s a walking back of the details, you know, when the potential summit with north korea was announced, it was a
will respond appropriately. christine. raising the minimum age to buy a gun. i am curious as to what you did in your bill. we didn t address it, mr. president. you are afraid of the nra. that was then. this is now. the white house gun proposals do nothing to address age requirements, but would allow teachers to have guns. that s not right. maybe if i reboot. what s with all the popups? why does it keep on crashing? this is taking forever. i think it s time for the fixmestick. fixmestick is a plug-in virus removal device. it s the smart, simple, safe way to clean your computer yourself. with fixmestick you don t have to replace your computer. it helps you keep your files, and your privacy. fixmestick reboots your computer from a system on the stick,
