Trump stuns all

The Republican president bats for gun control after Florida school shooting

AFP, lndependent.co.uk
President Donald Trump has surprised lawmakers by embracing gun control measures that are tougher than usually supported by his party, as students returned to the site of America's latest horrific school shooting.
"We have to do something about it. We have to act," Trump said, voicing support for expanded background checks, more secure schools, curbs on the ability of the mentally ill to buy firearms and raising to 21 the age for buying certain guns.
"We can't wait and play games and nothing gets done," Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers from both parties.
At one point, he turned to a Republican senator and said: "You're afraid of the NRA," referring to the National Rifle Association, the premierand powerful US gun lobby.
In remarks almost unthinkable for a modem Republican president, he told senators at the White House to discuss general school safety: "Take the firearms first and then go to court.
"I like taking the guns early, like in the crazy man's case-take the guns first, go through due process second."
Trump was responding to comments from Vice President Mike Pence that families and local law enforcement should have more tools to report potentially dangerous individuals with weapons.
"Allow due process so no one's rights are trampled, but the ability to go to court, obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms but any weapons," Pence said.
“Or, Mike, take the firearms first, and then go to court,” Trump responded before adding his comments about "taking the guns early".
"He surprised me," Democratic Senator Chris Murphy later told AFP. "He committed very forcefully and very clearly to comprehensive background checks, raising the age on purchase of assault weapons, and protective orders."
With tears, fears and defiance, students also made an emotional return Wednesday to their Florida high school where a former classmate went on a shooting rampage two weeks ago, killing 17 people.
Students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland were greeted by heavy security and scores of well-wishers as they returned to classes.
Dozens of police officers lined the sidewalks saying "Good morning" to each child and retired officers passed out flowers. Former students, neighbors and their children held banners reading "We Love You," "You've Got This" and "We Are With You."
"It’s all a little overwhelming," said one 17-year-old student named William, who shared a classroom with two of the young victims, Nicholas Dworet and Meadow Pollack.
"It was just sad to go back there and not have my friends who were in the class with me anymore."
Likewise, for Kimberly Miller, the first day back meant confronting the absence of her geography
teacher, 35-year-old Scott Beigel.
Beigel was one of three staff killed, along with 14 teenagers, when former student Nikolas Cruz entered the school on Valentine's Day and opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle.
"It's pretty upsetting," said the 14-year-old Miller. "But it was also refreshing to talk to everyone because people don't really understand how it feels, no matter how much they try to understand."
While there were few open displays of grief, many students looked somber, speaking in hushed tones with their eyes downcast.
Since the shooting, Stoneman Douglas students have been lobbying politicians for stricter gun controls both in their home state of Florida and in Washington.
Republican lawmakers, with majorities in the US Congress and the Florida state legislature, have been cool on bringing in major reforms on the sales of firearms.
But Trump upped the pressure on lawmakers to get to work, hosting the bipartisan meeting at the White House where he raised eyebrows with his tough stance.
Democrats argued that Trump had power Democratic President Barack Obama never had: trust with the Republican base that he would not infringe on the Second Amendment.
