NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Page 6A Friday, February 23, 2018 Trump says raise age for buying assault rifles, defying NRA WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation should keep assault rifles out of the hands of anyone under 21, President Donald Trump declared Thursday, defying his loyal supporters in the National Rifle Association amid America’s public reckoning over gun violence. He also pushed hard for arming security guards and many teachers in U.S. schools. “There’s nothing more important than protecting our children,” Trump said, adding that he’d spoken with many members of Congress and NRA officials and insisting they would go along with his plans in the wake of last week’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead. But there were no words of support from the NRA for his age-limit proposal — and outright opposition from organizations of teachers and school security guards for the idea of arming schools to deal with intruders. “The NRA will back it and so will Congress,” Trump contended as he called for raising the legal age of purchase for “all” guns from 18 to 21. A spokesman later said Trump was speaking specifically about semi-automatic weapons. The president’s proposal came just hours after the NRA affirmed its opposition, calling such a restriction an infringement on gun owners’ rights. Trump has spent the past two days listening to ideas about how to AP Photo/Evan Vucci President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with state and local officials to discuss school safety in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on Thursday in Washington. stem gun violence at schools after last week’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. On Wednesday, he heard from students and family members of those killed in recent shootings and on Thursday from local and state officials. In Florida, meanwhile, funerals continued. And a sheriff’s deputy who had been on duty at the school but never went inside to confront the shooter resigned after being suspended without pay. Trump has been proposing a growing list of ideas, including more stringent background checks for gun buyers, reopening some mental institutions to hold potential killers and banning “bump stock” devices that allow semi-automatic rifles to mimic machine guns. He said Thursday that many teachers have military experience and suggested they be paid bonuses for the added responsibility of carrying weapons. He also appeared open to other proposals to “harden” schools, such as fortifying walls and limiting entry points. One idea he didn’t like: the “active shooter” drills that some schools hold. He called that “a very negative thing” and said he wouldn’t want his own son participating. Spokesman Raj Shah later said Trump was concerned about the name and would prefer calling them safety drills. In Florida, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio said he now is open to raising age limits for long-gun purchases. That was the day after he was confronted at a CNN town hall by Parkland students and parents over his pro-gun votes and support from the NRA. Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, another Republican, told reporters during a visit to the Kansas Statehouse that he supported raising age limits, saying: “Certainly, nobody under 21 should have an AR-15.” NRA leaders emerged in unan- nounced appearances at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, blaming the FBI and local reporting failures for the Florida shooting. “Evil walks among us and God help us if we don’t harden our schools and protect our kids,” said Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre. “The whole idea from some of our opponents that armed security makes us less safe is completely ridiculous.” NRA officials also accused Democrats and media outlets of exploiting the Florida shooting. “Many in legacy media love mass shootings,” spokeswoman Dana Loesch said at CPAC. “Now I’m not saying that you love the tragedy, but I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold.” She and LaPierre did not mention the age limit issue in their fiery remarks at CPAC. But Loesch said Wednesday night the NRA opposes the higher age limit for rifles because, “if we are asking young men and women to go and serve their country (in the military) they should be able to also have a firearm.” The NRA was an early supporter of Trump’s campaign, and it remains unclear how far the president will go to cross them. Shortly before LaPierre took the stage, Trump offered a rallying cry on Twitter, calling NRA leaders “Great People and Great American Patriots. They love our Country and will do the right thing.” “I don’t think I’ll be going up against them,” he said of the polit- ically influential group. “I really think the NRA wants to do what’s right.” In Congress, a bill being drafted by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., would apply more broadly than just to assault rifles such as the AR-15 used in the Florida shootings. It would raise the age limits for all rifles. In the end, Trump did not stray too far from conservative Repub- lican orthodoxy. His focus when it comes to background checks is on mental health concerns and not loopholes that permit loose private gun sales on the internet and at gun shows. And he remains opposed to a full ban on assault rifles. Sheriff: School officer never went inside to confront gunman FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The armed officer on duty at the Florida school where a shooter killed 17 people never went inside to engage the gunman and has been placed under inves- tigation, officials announced Thursday. The Valentine’s Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School by a gunman armed with an AR-15 style assault rifle has reignited national debate over gun laws and school safety, including proposals by President Donald Trump and others to designate more people — including trained teachers — to carry arms on school grounds. Gun-control advocates, meanwhile, have redoubled their push to ban assault rifles. The school resource officer at the high school took up a position viewing the western entrance of the building that was under attack for more than four minutes, but “he never went in,” Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a Thursday news conference. The shooting lasted about six minutes. The officer, Scot Peterson, was suspended without pay and placed under investiga- tion, then chose to resign, Israel said. When asked what Peterson should have done, Israel said the deputy should have “went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer.” The sheriff said he was “devastated, sick to my stomach. There are no words. I mean, these families lost their children. .... I’ve been to the funerals. ... I’ve been to the vigils. It’s just, ah, there are no words.” There was also a commu- nication issue between the person reviewing the school’s security system footage and officers who responded to the school. Coral Springs Police Chief Tony Pustizzi said during a Thursday news conference that the footage being reviewed was 20 minutes old, so the responding offi- cers were hearing that the shooter was in a certain place while officers already in that location were saying that wasn’t the case. Pustizzi said the confusion didn’t put anyone in danger. Shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, 19, has been jailed on 17 counts of murder and has admitted the attack. He owned a collection of weapons. Defense attorneys, state records and people who knew him indicate that he displayed behavioral troubles for years. Broward County incident reports show that uniden- tified callers contacted authorities with concerns about Cruz in February 2016 and November 2017. The first caller said they had third-hand information that Cruz planned to shoot up the school. The information was forwarded to the Stoneman Douglas resource officer. The second caller said Cruz was collecting guns and knives and believed “he could be a school shooter in the making.” Politicians under pres- sure to tighten gun laws F RIDAY A FTERNOON & E VENING ABC NBC CBS FOX 12 PM 12:30 1 PM (11) KFFX KPTV Paterni- Divorce Paid (42) KVEW KATU C The Chew KEPR KOIN (25) KNDU KGW KTNW (59) OPB Funn- 2 yAsk 19 News 4 This Old House Hour Paint Lidia's 13 This Kitchen General Hospital MyGre- Quilt in ekTable a Day Martha Expedi- "Corn" tions CABLE 12 PM 12:30 1 PM PREMIUM 2 PM F EBRUARY 23, 2018 2:30 Judge Mathis 3 PM 3:30 The People's 4 PM 4:30 5 PM 5:30 6 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Two and Mom Last Last Modern Modern 2 Broke 2 Broke Showtime at the Apollo First at :35 Dateline :35 Mike Man St. Man St. Family Family Girls Girls Ten (N) & Molly Judy News (N) News (N) Feud Feud Showtime at the Apollo News (N) News Page Six Let's Make a Deal Dr. Phil Judge Judge News News News Inside The Big TheSi- Big Brother: Celebrity Edition (N) BlueB.
