So far it's quite interesting, Hopefully Betsy DeVos and Trump are truly listening closely to what they have to say.

You could probably convince Trump to go along with just about anything if you sound like you know what you're talking about and flatter him.
Problem is the GOP congress and others in Trump's orbit. I don't expect them to accomplish much of anything unfortunately.
So far a lot of the discussion is not about Tackling Gun Violence, but only want to focus on Security(which isn't a bad thing to fix either).
Trump is right now discussing about Arming teachers so this seems like the Angle Trump is leaning toward.

So Trump just Admitted Age and Mental Health is what he's going for. (most likely)

Betsy devos. That's a name i barely ever hear.
Did she say something about school shooting? She is after all the secretary of education, it seems school shooting would be somewhat in her alley.
I think what he meant when he said he'll tackle Mental Health is just the backround check, but he is making it seem like he may be talking about improving mental health care. but idk cause it's trump. He's known to change his mind a lot.
And let's not forget that Trump is a one step forward 100 steps backward kind of guy.

We're back to "Just arm teachers!".
Because this is a rational world with rational people.
I personally loved the armed the janitors part. When I was in school the janitor had a notorious habit of going behind the gym on a park bench and falling asleep (he did eventually get fired for this but it took years).
Still I think people should have realized that when you do conferences like this everyone is going to be vetted so an opinion you don't want presented would not be present. For example when George W showed up to our small town I wasn't allowed to go to the Q&A session although I was deeply involved in politics just the thought of seeing our president (even if I disagreed with him) was a great honor...now that I think about it how far we have fallen.
He's spent most of his life hearing "yes Mr. Trump."
To be fair though, it is a good speaking technique when addressing a crowd with concerns to show that you understand where they are coming from. So far though he's only had to engage people who think like he does and he's not use to it.

Anything positive that comes out of this, and I am sure as hell not counting arming teachers and janitors as positive, will be undone when the next person whispers in his ear that we need NRA money to fund the 2018 midterms.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
