In the wake of the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, President Donald Trump has floated the controversial idea of arming teachers. | Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images Playbook: Trump pushes House for guns vote

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP is extremely eager for legislative action on guns, and has pushed lawmakers he has spoken to for a vote in the House this week. Of course, this won’t happen -- the House is in session for just one day and things simply do not move that quickly. But lawmakers who have spoken to the president say the urgency with which he would like to proceed is unprecedented in his presidency.

-- HERE IS WHAT IS BEING DISCUSSED: Spending a pile of money on police programs. Funding some sort of volunteer program to protect schools. A new background-check system. The Fix NICS Act -- a bill that would penalize government entities for not reporting information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (this has already passed the House).


-- WHAT IS LESS LIKELY TO HAPPEN: Increasing the minimum age for purchasing some weapons, banning assault weapons.

-- INTERESTING PROPOSAL THAT’S QUIETLY BEING CONSIDERED: Giving cops the ability to confiscate a gun for 21 days if there are reports of domestic abuse, mental health issues or threats. The 21-day period could be renewed twice, under a plan that’s being discussed.

-- OF COURSE, all of this is in its infancy. But Trump is pushing hard behind the scenes.
