Trump says that while "our nation is heartbroken," the U.S. needs "to have action" on measures related to school safety and gun violence. Eric Trump says there is room for "common sense" gun measures in the wake of a Florida school shooting. Trump spoke on "Fox and Friends" Monday. He called himself a "big Second Amendment person," but suggested support for raising the age limit to buy certain weapons and strengthening background checks. Says Trump: "We can't have our kids shot up in schools." Since a mass shooting at a Florida high school on February 14, President Donald Trump has offered a number of ideas. They include raising the minimum age to purchase assault-style weapons and arming teachers, though on Saturday the president tweeted that the latter was "Up to states." Congress returns to work Monday after a 10-day break under pressure to respond to the outcry over gun violence.
