After President Donald Trumpappeared to respond to a groundswell of public support for tougher gun sale background checks following recent mass shootings. his language -- and possibly his stance -- on new gun control measures seems to be softening.
Just a few weeks ago, Trump told reporters we have to have very meaningful background checks as he left the White House just days following the shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.
We need intelligent background checks. This isnt a question of NRA, Republican or Democrat, he said on Aug. 9.
But now, as time has elapsed, and with Congress still away on its August recess, Trump on Sunday appeared to back off on any new push background checks, again calling mental health the actual problem.

Well certainly Trump's mental health is a problem.
