Gun Triggers

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012, President Barack Obama called for a review of gun triggers. The president announced that he would establish a task force to recommend solutions to prevent shootings like that at Newtown. That same year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott also proposed legislation that would have required gun owners to show proof of insurance and registration before taking guns into state-owned facilities. In response, Congress passed the Brady Bill, which requires background checks on all sales occurring in the United States over $1,000. Gun advocates hailed the measure as an important step forward in reducing gun violence. But after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February 2018, Advocates for Gun Responsibility (AGR) began to charge that the Brady Bill was not enough and needed much more work. They argued that many firearms were not being prohibited under the bill and that loopholes existed that could be exploited by criminals and terrorists. AGR also claimed that some people who should have been barred from owning guns had been allowed to purchase them anyway because they lacked proper identification or due process rights. In March 2019, President Donald Trump announced his intention to re-evaluate trigger laws across America following reports of mass shootings across several countries using Triggerless Guns AGR immediately responded with protests outside of his White House residence; one protester even managed to injure himself while trying to film Trump’s arrival onto motorcade

trigger locks are a type of security device used to secure firearms. Trigger locks work by cinching the breech of the weapon close to the firing pin, preventing it from moving until the user releases the lock. This prevents unauthorized access to a firearm.

In the White House in Tennessee, President Andrew Johnson had a gun trigger that he would use to shoot animals.

The White House is a historic building located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was built in 1852 as the home of Governor John C. Calhoun and served as his office and residence until 1957. The current structure was completed in 1958 and dedicated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It is the second largest presidential palace in the United States after Washington's Capitol Hill Palace. The White House has been used for both public and private events since its construction, including inaugurations, state visits, memorials, funerals, parades, baseball games, diplomatic conferences and model UN meetings. It has also been used as a storage facility for government records and furniture since 1973. The property contains two gardens: one with an American national anthem performance each year on Inauguration Day; the other features a Rose Garden designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., which was opened to the public in 1978. In 2009–10, damage caused by Hurricane Ike resulted in significant repairs to the exterior of the building that were completed within five months from start to finish. White House tours are available every day except Monday for $5 per person ( seniors seventy-five years or older free). Tours last about half an hour and depart at 8am from First Street between Union Station Boulevard and 12th Avenue South. Directions can be found online or at any visitor information center around town.
