U.S. President Donald Trump has assured governors they need not worry about the country's most powerful gun lobby group, NRA, as they attempt to make schools safer. Trump said this during a white house meeting with the governors on Monday. 

Mr. Trump said: "Don't worry about the NRA. They're on our side. If they're not with you, we have to fight them every once in awhile. That's OK. They're doing what they think is right."

The National Rifle Association has been proposing that teachers be armed as a measure to make schools safer following the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. This call has been backed by the US president even though he also said he would support strengthening background checks for gun buyers.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters president Trump plans to meet with lawmakers from both parties on Wednesday, to discuss possible legislation.
