President Trump's plan to combat school shootings will include a push to put armed staff in schools and raise the minimum age to buy certain guns — but appears to fall short of including universal background checks for gun buyers.
“There’s going to be a series of proposals,” deputy White House press secretary Raj Shah said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
The plan will include policies Trump has pushed for since the school shooting that killed 17 people in Parkland, Fla., including arming teachers and raising the age to buy assault rifles to 21 from 18.
Trump also supports a ban on bump stocks, devices that allow weapons to fire like machine guns.
“There’s going to be a provision about hardening schools,” Shah said, which will involve positioning “individuals who are trained professionals into schools who can help” protect against shooters.

She must have been on the sauce again. Her lesbo slave Huma was watching from behind.

Ok, that's it, confiscate their phones and don't let them out of the house until they are 21. A new law is required, no teen can be supplied with a dangerous instrument like a phone until they are 21, if you can't take their phones, cut off their thumbs, there is no amendment in the Constitution to permit these people to have thumbs

"Stepped on a pop top, blew out my flip-flop
Cut my heal, had to cruise on back home
There's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
That frozen concoction, that helps me hang on
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's my own damn fault"
