      Trump seems to be just learning about Manchin-Toomey bill, which has been vigorously debated since 2013. Says he hadn't heard a lot about it. Suggests bill "didn't have a lot of presidential backing" even though Obama pushed it hard. Says he "likes" responsibility of pushing it

      Trump also suggested marrying the Fix NICS bill with Manchin-Toomey - a position that Democrats support but which Senate GOP leadership strongly opposes.

      He then asks if Manchin-Toomey raises the age for purchasing AR-15s, which of course it doesn't address. He tells Toomey "you're afraid of the NRA" for not including raising the age limit. .... even though the NRA furiously fought the Manchin-Toomey bill

          Trump now breaks with the House GOP/NRA. "If you add concealed/carry to this, you'll never get it passed," he tells Scalise. That was included as part of the House's Fix NICS bill

          What many people don’t understand, or don’t want to understand, is that Wayne, Chris and the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots. They love our Country and will do the right thing. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

          OK, so he's pretty goofy, but he's fighting for some common sense gun reform. I'm willing to ignore the message and the messenger if he gets the result. And if he gets a win? Good for him, and good for the country.

          Sorry, I will never call it Trump’s win; IF there’s a win here, I will thank some courageous high schoolers. And some CEOs with integrity will also get a hand. But definitely NOT Trump.

          Don't disagree with you re the root cause or force driving the change. My point tho is that if Trump helps, he deserves some credit.

          Deserves credit? Enough credit that I'll upgrade my opinion of @realDonaldTrump from bacteria living on worm droppings to actual worm droppings. Well done?

          He continues to say "it wouldn't happen if someone in that school had a weapon...that conclusion is simply not a known fact. It is a HUGE assumption, at best.
