Donald Trump claims 'not much political support' for raising age limits on gun sales
US president Donald Trump said he is "watching court cases and rulings" before taking action on raising age limits for purchasing some firearms, arguing that there is "not much political support (to put it mildly)".
Mr Trump's tweet came after the White House put forward a plan to combat school shootings that does not increase the minimum age for purchasing assault weapons to 21 - an idea the US leader publicly favoured just last month - and leaves the question of arming teachers to states and local communities.
