Sounds like the DACA meeting that got some people concerned. Trump is just positioning himself knowing the Dems and the MSM are trying to make this their big issue leading up to the midterms. The planned March 24th demonstration in DC will be massive with more than likely over a million people. Trump is trying to defuse and deflect some of the energy in the anti-gun movement now being led by the “children.”
Trump is not going to sell us out.

I agree with your post. I have just gotten through watching the first 30 minutes of the round table discussion and haven’t the feeling of impending doom others have expressed concerning the president’s view on NRA/gun control, etc.
A few questions and observations from viewing the first 30 minutes:
1. The president mentioned one needed to be 21 to purchase a handgun. Is that true? If so is that true for all states?
2. The president said he met with NRA opponents for lunch on Sunday. Is there a synopsis or transcript of that meeting? Is it true the NRA supports Fix NICS (or parts of it)?
3. I’ve only watched the first 30 minutes so far but I didn’t hear the president use the term “petrified” concerning the NRA. Scared, yes, and maybe that is a distinction without a difference, however, petrified sounds more ominous. It could be petrified was used in the last 30 minutes of the discussion (will be watching later).
4. I got the impression that the president was interested in hearing from all participants whether he agreed with their views or not. Kept saying he was a strong supporter of the NRA and 2A. He also brought up several times his concern for the safety of schools and having armed teachers/people to deter shooters.
If you haven’t watched the round table you can catch it here:

And just this morning the president tweeted this:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 2h
Many ideas, some good & some not so good, emerged from our bipartisan meeting on school safety yesterday at the White House. Background Checks a big part of conversation. Gun free zones are proven targets of killers. After many years, a Bill should emerge. Respect 2nd Amendment!
I agree with you.
Why do people here read lies, believe them without checking, then blast off without using their brains?
