Both bills are expected to be unanimous among political parties with limited Republican support during the vote this week. If bills are passed in the House, they will still have to be sent to the Senate controlled by the Republicans for approval before reaching Trump.

The White House has announced its opposition to the draft laws for violation of the rights of the second amendment.

"The extensive regulation required by Article 8 of Regulation 8 is incompatible with the guarantee of the individual right to keep arms guaranteed by the Second Amendment," the statement said. "By unduly prolonging the minimum time required by an accredited entity to wait for the results of the background check, R. 1112 would unduly impose tedious delays on those seeking to purchase a firearm."

"If the representative of the presidents is presented to the president, his advisers will recommend him to veto the veto," the statement said.

The announcement comes about a week after the first anniversary of the murderous shootout at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., Which prompted Democratic lawmakers to make gun control a top priority .

At the time of the Parkland shooting, Trump had announced that he would support the background checks, and tweeted that he "would strongly push the background checks thoroughly".
