The [P]resident is considering tougher penalties for straw buyers, the death penalty for mass shooters and bringing more records to the background check database.
President Donald Trump is finalizing his proposals designed to curb gun violence. But it's unclear whether anyone really wants what hell be offering.
Most Democrats consider them too weak. Most Republicans, long resistant to triggering their base or the gun lobby, fear Trump wont push them forcefully enough leaving them hanging.
The two sides will begin jockeying over firearms legislation when lawmakers return to Capitol Hill next week, a fight expected to continue through the fall after a string of mass shootings this summer once again pushed the issue to the forefront in Washington.
Trump's proposals will likely include expediting the death penalty for mass shooters, releasing troubled teenagers previously sealed records to the background-check database after they become adults and requiring the FBI to notify local authorities when a potential buyer fails a background check, according to people familiar with the weekslong discussions.
Missing from the list at least right now are changes that have become a rallying cry among Democrats in Congress and on the campaign trail, such as universal background checks for gun purchases.
In the weeks since two back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio left 31 people dead, White House staffers have been talking with congressional aides of both parties as well as advocacy groups to develop a list of policies for Trump to consider. The president said this week he received 29 proposals.

I'm important.
Maybe an ‘*’ or ‘sic’ in brackets, and a note at the bottom explaining your displeasure?
Well, I do like to get a sense where he might be heading.
Laz is Q. I saw it on the internet.
Q anon.
Straight up.
In this case it was referring to a specific president. Or is there more than one in office currently?
Lindsey
Graham
Ping!
Want on or off Linda's fav ping list? Just FReepmail me.
Remember that linda is up for reelection in 2020. Remember also that linda is writing a Red Flag bill.
The words,”President” and “barack obama” should never be uttered or written in the same sentence.
Trump has made illegal through EO things Obama declared legal through the legal process.
I choose to ignore stupid ****.
It’s just politics.
He should add universal concealed carriage to any bill.
More correct assertion:
After a cluster of mass public killings was created by media contagion, in order to push the gun control agenda.
I got a feeling that people are not going to like the new extended background checks when they learn what they consist of. And I doubt that because their purpose will be to prevent people from purchasing firearms that few will few will pass, but we shall see.
I know, but for how many months did we hear “Mulehead poised to . . .” “Mulehead intends to . . .” and NONE of it was true.
If he passes ANY additional gun control measure no matter how big or small he might as well drop the rallies because he won't be reelected. Take that to the bank.
Any gun control measure will lose an additional 2-3 million votes on top of the half a million or more he has already lost due to the bump stock ban. Save the whinning about how bad the alternative is, blah blah blah. Politics does NOT work that way. 2-3 million will stay home and we will have a commie dem in 2020, guaranteed.
At this point he better shut his trap about more gun control or he may lose the election whether he actually passes anything or not. He is losing votes just talking about this nonsense.
Doesn't work that way.
The rules are clear. "The president laid out his proposals." "The proposals laid out by President Trump specified..." "According to Senator Cruz..." "The senator spoke yesterday with reporters."
LOL!
Is that not referring to a "specific" president or was your definition of grammatical terms incorrect?
2nd Amendment says you can ossess and carry arms, but it doesn’t say anything about right to buy them. Let’s amend the Constitution tomake sure that provision is included. Also right to give them and ship them without penalty across state borders.
Doesn't matter. "President" not followed by a specific name is a common noun and not capitalized.
I don't make the rules. I just follow them.
