President Trump, after calling for raising the minimum legal age to purchase all guns to age 21 during a meeting with lawmakers on guns and school safety suggested that those who are staying silent on the topic are "afraid" to come up against the NRA. White House disputes claim that Trump "chickened out" on gun proposals over NRA pressure http://hill.cm/m8vyN7c
So why has POTUS made an about-face and backed off his call to raise the minimum age to purchase guns? Who's more talk and less action? Is it all about theatrics? http://abcn.ws/2t3sYqv
Does Trump fear NRA backlash on his raise-the-age comment? Bowing to the NRA, POTUS released a plan to help arm teachers but backed away from raising the age of those who can purchase firearms.

This time the response to gun violence is much different.
