2019-08-20 | Trump seems to backtrack on gun control, warns of 'slippery slope' | TheHill
'His comments foretelling a “slippery slope” also closely mirrored the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) long-held argument that even modest gun control regulations would inevitably lead to more stringent ones. '
'Trump echoed his own comments earlier this week by claiming that background checks are already strong, though he added a caveat that there are “missing areas” without going into further detail.“We have very, very strong background checks right now. '
'Trump also repeated earlier assertions that shootings are a “mental problem” and floated reopening more mental institutions to solve the issue – something he proposed at a campaign rally in New Hampshire last Thursday. '
' We’re not going to let that happen.”'
'But we have sort of missing areas and areas that don’t complete the whole circle and we’re looking at different things,” Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday afternoon. '
