Trump had phone call with NRA’s LaPierre in wake of massacres
Report: Trump has conversation with NRA's LaPierre
President Trump had a phone conversation Tuesday with Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the National Rifle Association, just days after two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. Trump did not publicly acknowledge the phone call and it was unclear who initiated the conversation. The Washington Post, citing unnamed sources, reported that LaPierre told Trump that endorsing tougher background checks -- which the president has reportedly done in private since the February 2018 massacre in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead, would not be popular with his voter base. The NRA did not immediately respond to an email from Fox News seeking comment.
