President Trump recently showed signs that he supported gun control. Now it was reported that he might be still backing the N.R.A.
Trump had asked that some sort of reform be implemented in regards to gun purchase age limit. He also suggested that teachers could possibly be armed. Another proposal was made against bump stocks.
The N.R.A. had issues with the age limit and the bump stocks. Trump’s televised meeting regarding gun control made the N.R.A. angry.
There was also a report that a Russian politician claimed he gained access to Trump through the N.R.A.
For Or Against?
Trump’s behavior has many wondering whose side was he really on when it came to gun control.
Dana Loesch, N.R.A. spokesperson believed Trump was playing both sides.
“I think he’s just entertaining both sides,” said Loesch. “I think he’s listening to see what both sides have to say.”
“Right now it seems like they’re just in the discussion phase, which is good,” she added. “I would hope that they would be talking to everyone and really hearing what the voters have to say.”
A tweet by Chris Cox left many wondering what Trump was up to. Cox, top lobbyist for the N.R.A. tweeted that his meeting was productive,
“We all want safe schools, mental health reform and to keep guns away from dangerous people. POTUS & VPOTUS support the Second Amendment, support strong due process and don’t want gun control. #NRA #MAGA,” he tweeted.
Trump later tweeted “Good (Great) meeting in the Oval Office tonight with the NRA!”
