“There’s not a piece of legislation that I’ve seen that said anyone — federal government or otherwise — is going to come and take firearms away. It all talks about future restrictions on access.”

Did Burbank mention to the President that the Trolley Square mass shooter was stopped by an armed carry citizen?.. ?
