CNN: Trump Backs Obama Gun-Control Ideas

‘We should also point out the president at times in that meeting steamed show he didn’t have much of a command over the gun issue’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ACOSTA: "We should also point out the president at times in that meeting steamed show he didn’t have much of a command over the gun issue. At one point, he didn’t know what the Manchin-Toomey bill entailed, and most people this Washington know it is about expanding background checks. At one point he went on to say that Barack Obama did not do enough to advance that legislation. That’s not the case. President Obama, as we know, after the Sandy Hook massacre, advocated strongly for the passage of that bill. It did not garner enough votes in the Senate including some red states. And adding to the discussion, the president seemed to say that had there been an armed person, that would have resulted in perhaps few lives being lost. You can go back and look at the details. They’re on the scene and certainly could have been somebody who made a difference. He tried exchange gunfire with that gunman at that time. But it was not enough. The president seemed to be a little bit off in terms of of his information that. We should point out, it was in January, early January when the president had a discussion with lawmakers if both parties about the issue of DACA for those who came in as children. The president said that he could take heat. That he wanted to have lawmakers give him a bill. No legislation was passed and the president has blamed the Democrats for failing to take action."
