The Washington Examiner reports:
President Trump on Monday said his administration is pushing reforms to gun laws and school safety measures similar to the initiatives Florida made to its policies.
On Friday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed into law legislation that overhauls state policies governing gun sales, the treatment of mental health disorders and school safety procedures, and allows teachers who have passed training programs to carry firearms in schools.
Over the weekend, the Justice Department announced a new regulation proposal that would ban bump stocks. The Office of Management and Budget must approve the request, which would include the term “bump stock” under the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act’s definitions of machine guns.
Very strong improvement and strengthening of background checks will be fully backed by White House. Legislation moving forward. Bump Stocks will soon be out. Highly trained expert teachers will be allowed to conceal carry, subject to State Law. Armed guards OK, deterrent!…….

….On 18 to 21 Age Limits, watching court cases and rulings before acting. States are making this decision. Things are moving rapidly on this, but not much political support (to put it mildly).

If schools are mandated to be gun free zones, violence and danger are given an open invitation to enter. Almost all school shootings are in gun free zones. Cowards will only go where there is no deterrent!
