Mitch McConnell suggests Trump cannot be trusted to mean what he says on guns

"If the president is in favor of a number of things he has discussed openly and publicly and I know we will pass it and it’ll become law, I’ll put it on the floor."

In the wake of another series of mass shootings, President Donald Trump has repeatedly waffled and wavered on whether to take any action to stop the epidemic of gun violence in America. NRA-backed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who has long opposed any such progress, said Tuesday he will wait and see if Trump actually means any of the things he said in public before scheduling any Senate votes.

After mass shootings in El Paso, Texas; Dayton, Ohio; and Gilroy, California, left dozens of people dead, Trump — who benefited from more than $29 million in NRA spending in his 2016 race — initially said he wanted to ensure that all gun purchases required background checks.

“Frankly, we need intelligent background checks,” Trump told reporters in early August. “I spoke to Mitch McConnell yesterday…. He is totally on board,” the president claimed.

But after speaking with NRA officials, Trump changed his tune. Later in August, he reminded the nation that “we already have a lot of background checks.”
