President Donald Trump is finalizing his proposals designed to curb gun violence. But it's unclear whether anyone really wants what he’ll be offering.
Missing from the list — at least right now — are changes that have become a rallying cry among Democrats in Congress and on the campaign trail, such as universal background checks for gun purchases. “There are any number of pieces of legislation that already exist that we’re looking at,” Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said. “He is willing to do plenty that will actually prevent these. You can’t just say, ‘Do something.’ You have to do something meaningful and measurable.”
Chaffetz said he knew how to get his message across to the White House: He called one of Trump's top aides, published an“It would have impacted some of the mass shootings,“ he said of his proposal. “A lot of these proposals would not have impacted mass shootings.“Sign Up Trump hasn’t decided what changes, if any, to support involving background checks. But many of the proposals he is considering would require additional records to be sent to the flawed National Instant Criminal Background Check System — and would not necessarily expand the number of people who would be checked. Already, federal and state agencies have failed to send millions of mental health and drug abuse records to the database.
Congress passed legislation last year supported by Trump to increase penalties on agencies that don’t report information to the database, which his aides say could have prevented the mass shootings in Charleston, S.C., Sutherland Springs, Texas and Aurora, Colo.
