Every Gun Policy President Trump Has Proposed
Immediately after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, it seemed President Trumps plan was to lie low for a few days and wait until the tragedy fell out of the news but the survivors of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School wouldnt let that happen. As it became apparent over the long Presidents Day weekend that this shooting wouldnt follow the usual script, Trump changed course. The White House announced that he would back a stalled Senate bill to improve background checks, and hold several gun violence listening sessions.
Soon Trump was, on a daily basis, musing about policies to combat gun violence, yet offering few clear signs about which measures his administration would push to enact. Many Republicans in Congress dont share Trumps newfound interest in taking action on guns, making it even harder to determine which proposals should be taken seriously. Heres a rundown of every gun violence measure Trump has backed, and whether it has any chance of being enacted.
Ending Gun-Free Zones
In his book The America We Deserve, which he released when he was running for president on the Reform ticket in 2000, Trump took a somewhat contradictory stance on guns, writing: I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.

Up to now, single-payer and universal health coverage proposals in the U.S. have foundered on one shoal or another: They're ungodly expensive; they replace plans that people like; they're too sudden; they're not sudden enough; they're politically impossible, etc., etc., etc.
But now take a look at "Medicare Extra for All." It's a universal coverage proposal released last week by the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank associated with the Democratic Party.
It's not quite "Medicare for All," to cite the mantra used by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and others who want a near instantaneous, wholesale transformation of the American health coverage system into a public service. Instead, it would preserve privately financed employer coverage for as long as employers want to stay in.
