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!.......

More than a half year later (one year after the Las Vegas massacre):

Q And I wanted to ask about something else you brought up today: the Las Vegas shooting.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
Q There’s some frustration that more hasn’t been done in that past year — more hasn’t been done about bump stocks. Are there some things you would like to see done —
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we — no, no. You’re wrong. You’re wrong about that.
Q Yeah. Go ahead.
THE PRESIDENT: So in order to eliminate — terminate bump stocks, we have to go through a procedure. We are now at the final stages of that procedure. In fact, the lawyers were just telling me. And over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be able to write it up. But you can’t just write it out because rules and regulations in this country are really tough, even for something like that.
So we’re knocking out bump stocks. I’ve told the NRA. I’ve told them: Bump stocks are gone. But to do it, you have to go to public hearings, which we’ve had. You have to go through all sorts of regulatory control systems. And we are in the final couple of weeks. And I’ll be — is our attorney around someplace, please?
He said, “We’re in the final — we’re in the final two or three weeks.” And I’ll be able to write out bump stocks. But it’s process that takes — statutorily, it takes about a year to do it.
Q And any other —
THE PRESIDENT: To do it properly.
Q — any other actions you’re planning to help prevent —
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, and we’re working also with Congress on both sides. We are. We’re working on a lot of different things having to do — that was a horrible thing. But we’re working on both sides of that question.
And the bump stock is almost gone. But again, to do it so it’s meaningful — the lawyer just said it — yeah, we’ve gone through a whole procedure. If you look — in fact, you could call Derek, who you know very well, and he’s gone through the full procedure. We’ve done it absolute by the book. And in a very short period of time, bump stocks will be ruled out. Okay?


Lying POS.
