NEW: Pres. Trump tweeted this morning that there are “serious discussions” between House and Senate leadership on “meaningful background checks,' though Congress is unlikely to respond to last weekend's deadly mass shootings until at least September.
President Donald Trump tweeted Friday morning that there are “serious discussions” between House and Senate leadership on “meaningful background checks," though Congress is unlikely to respond to last weekend's deadly mass shootings until at least September.
“I am the biggest Second Amendment person there is, but we all must work together for the good and safety of our Country," Trump tweeted."Common sense things can be done that are good for everyone!" In the aftermath of the shootings, which killed a combined 31 people, Trump has signaled a willingness to support congressional efforts to craft a bipartisan agreement to address background checks and enact red-flag checks to prevent mentally ill people from obtaining firearms. The Washington Post, however, reported that the NRA warned the president that changes to background check laws could cost him politically with the Republican base.
