President Donald Trump has reiterated his support for expanding background checks for gun buyers, but said he wants to avoid the “slippery slope” of eroding citizens’ second amendment rights.

Speaking to reporters on Aug. 21 from the south lawn before boarding Marine One, when asked about background checks, President Trump said, “Oh, I have an appetite for background checks. We’re going to be doing background checks.”
