Trump touts his gun policy -- but says he'll 'watch court cases' before deciding on raising age for assault weapons

In a Monday morning tweet, President Donald Trump touted his new plan to stop school shootings.


"Very strong improvement and strengthening of background checks will be fully backed by White House," Trump wrote. "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," he continued. "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," he later proclaimed. "Almost all school shootings are in gun free zones. Cowards will only go where there is no deterrent!

What he left out, however, is that he once declared that they would raise the age a person can purchase an assault weapon to 21-years-old. The National Rifle Association doesn't support that policy, and after a dinner at the White House, Trump stopped saying that he would push the policy.
