The Parkland students had driven more than 400 miles to push their state lawmakers to support gun control laws. After the Las Vegas shooting, Trump and the National Rifle Association expressed support for stricter regulation of bump stocks, but no action was taken. Donald Trump promised to support the National Rifle Association (NRA) and oppose limits to gun ownership.
