This as a Bipartisan Team of senators plans to introduce a bill today raising the age limit for buying assault weapons. Not one more reporter as guncontrol rallies continue around the country, there are signs that the persistence this time in the wake of the Florida School shooting may be paying off. Bump stocks, im writing that out myself. I dont care if congress does it or not. Im writing it out myself. Going to do background checks. If we see a sicko, i dont want him having a gun. Reporter President Trump at a meeting with governors yesterday stuck by his belief that schools should be arming certain teachers and faculty. And the white house insists the president is still on board with raising the age limit for buying some firearms. Its an idea he mentioned last week but hasnt spoken of again since meeting with the nra over the weekend. In terms of the concept, theres still support for that, but how it would be implemented and what that might look like is still very much part of the discussion. Reporter republican senator jeff flake says today he and democratic senator Dianne Feinstein plan to introduce a bipartisan bill raising the age requirement for buying an ar15 and weapons like it to 21. There are already signs that measure will face resistance. Youre taking away a lot of peoples constitutional right.
