Trump to seek to "harden" schools against shootings [View all]
Source: CBS News
President Trump's plan to combat school shootings will include a call on states to increase the minimum age for purchasing assault weapons and an effort to "harden" schools so they're less vulnerable to attacks.
White House spokesman Raj Shah says the president will not advocate "universal" background checks, but will reiterate his support for a bill that would promote better information-sharing. The president will also be convening a task force to further study the issue.
"There's going to be a series of proposals," Shah said on ABC's "This Week" in an interview Sunday. "Some will be legislative, some will be administrative and some will be recommendations for states as well as a task force to study this issue in more depth and make more additional policy recommendations. So it's going to be consistent with what the president has talked about."
The long-awaited recommendations are expected to be laid out in more detail by the White House on Sunday evening, nearly a month after the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 students and staff dead.

Further down in the article it's said that 45* supports universal background checks, while in the second paragraph we're told he's not advocating for that.
As far as "hardening schools", first off, what the hell does that mean? I'm quite certain 45* doesn't know, and to me it's nothing more than empty words to make it sound like he's doing something. Furthermore, if there's going to be any modification to school buildings it's going to cost money and with the repub tax giveaway anything as far reaching as this will be out of the question.
Basically this is more of the same flip flops we expect from 45*.... say whatever he thinks his current audience wants to hear while accomplishing nothing.
