WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. President Trump will meet with Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Sunday at the president's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to discuss their legislative agenda, according to the White House.
The meeting comes days after a gunman killed 17 people and wounded more than a dozen others at a South Florida high school, reigniting the contentious debate over the nations gun laws.
Trump has said he is working with Congress on many fronts to prevent future shootings, including on mental health issues and strengthening school security. But the president, who received support from the National Rifle Association (NRA) during the 2016 election, has not weighed in on whether he believes stricter gun laws should be a part of the discussion.
Ryan has warned against a rush to pass new gun-control measures in the wake of Wednesday's shooting in Parkland, Fla., despite growing pressure from Democrats and advocates.

(16,826 posts)I hope Randy Bryce hammers Paul Ryan for this. The time for honoring himself is over. The time is NOW to connect him and his fellow Republicans for the whores they are for accepting so much money from the NRA to malign their opponents and promote more death of our children they care so damned little about.
