Amtrak is considering allowing people to store guns in lockboxes on most of its trains, which critics say would weaken security measures that instead should be strengthened in light of the shooting at last weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Two people familiar with the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that Amtrak hasn't abandoned the proposed plan despite Saturday's attack at the Washington, D.C., event. They say the Trump administration started pushing for Amtrak to make the change months ago. Authorities say a California man traveled by rail across the country with his guns intent on killing President Donald Trump and other administration officials.
