President Trump asked Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to add her “assault weapons” ban to the overarching school safety bill during a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers on Wednesday.
Feinstein’s bill, which is an enhanced reintroduction of a bill she has put forward again and again, bans over 200 different firearms.
During Wednesday’s White House meeting, Trump showed support for the gun control pushed by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA). The Manchin/Toomey bill is a gun control bill that the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected on April 17, 2013. But Trump chalked that failure up to Barack Obama’s lack of leadership, and talked of using the Manchin/Toomey bill as a base to which other bills could be added.
The goal was to create a body of gun legislation, ubiquitously for the purposes of school safety.

This is an example why Politians are despised. They never submit clean Bills. They always want add-ons of possible related subjects. They should have to submit clean Bills on one subject. Then submit a clean Bill on another single subject. This is why Congress is so inefficient and partisan.
