It's a sign of a possible divide between Trump and his party as long as the President maintains his position that background checks are a necessary response to two mass shootings earlier this month.He upheld that view in conversations with advisers over the weekend as he began a weeklong working vacation in New Jersey, according to people familiar with the matter. Trump has said he believes he needs to take a concrete step on gun control, rather than symbolic.
Klobuchar: Haven't seen Trump serious about background checks 02:44Despite Trump's claims, several conservative allies and Republican lawmakers have privately voiced opposition to his push for background checks, claiming they wouldn't have stopped the shootings in Dayton and El Paso. These officials have tried to relay their concerns to Trump, encouraging him to advocate for so-called"red flag" laws instead, but he has not been receptive, they said.
Avlon says gun reform isn't as partisan as it seems 02:56Other Republicans have appeared more skeptical.Republican Sen. Mike Rounds -- who gaveled in Tuesday's pro forma session in the Senate -- pushed back on the President's claims that Republicans support his push for strengthening background checks.
Let's stop beening delusional. Nothing is gonna change as long as Trump's POTUS & Mitch McConnell is in charge of the Senate. Sad but the truth will set you free.
The status quo is people are becoming more and more deranged and violent. We need to do something about the status quo, not inanimate objects.
supraTruth How many parents and family members do we have to hear from before our government actually makes positive moves toward passing legislation that could prevent more funerals? Apparently all of these deaths are not as powerful as the NRA. stopgunviolence
Gun violence is at an all time low.
I have been reading up on 'Red Flag' laws and really like how they work. Problem is making sure it's enforced. We also need especially strong penalties for people supplying guns to people who had their's taken away because of a red flag or previous crimes.
Here. Smell my finger CNN!
If you call someone (or a source) fake, then you should present your proof specific to that incident, otherwise, it is a fake statement that strongly suggest similar personality attributes.
You need to stop using the deaths of children in order to trigger public emotion/outrage. The second amendment 'shall not be infringed'!
He cant lead on anything that doesn’t put money in his pocket.
Please. Based on how he has handled literally all other issues of his term, the LAST thing we want is for the president to lead on this.
We need the laws ... Enforced
It looks like nobody's listening to Trump anymore.
moscowmitch won't let it happen. He's a cancer and should be removed senatemajldr
That would imply that Trump knows what is going on in Washington or for that Matt anywhere.
If he hasn’t done it yet, he ain’t doing it
So he's lying. What else is new? Maybe it time to stop just reporting lies, and be journalists - verify and report on his real actions. Every thing else can be summed up at 12 am as 'President Trump lied ____ times today'.
