The president, who said Friday “serious discussions” are taking place about background check, spoke to NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre numerous times throughout the week
by phone about the prospect of a universal background check bill. “The president gave us his assurances that he would review the bipartisan House-passed legislation and understood our interest in moving as quickly as possible to help save lives,” Pelosi and Schumer said in a joint statement. For those more worried about maintaining unfettered access to guns than preventing the 256th mass shooting, this turn of events might have been cause for concern.
“Serious discussions are taking place between House and Senate leadership on meaningful Background Checks,” Trumpon Twitter, adding that he has “also been speaking to the NRA, and others, so that their very strong views can be fully represented and respected.” In fact, according to USA Today, the president spoke to NRA executive vice president and CEOtimes between Tuesday and Wednesday, as he traveled to El Paso and Dayton, where dozens of people were killed over the weekend.
Affirming that he is “the biggest Second Amendment person there is,” Trump also tweeted on Friday that “Guns should not be placed in the hands of mentally ill or deranged people” and that “we all must work together for the good and safety of our Country,” noting that “Common sense things can be done that are good for everyone.
