More Guns vs Fever Guns

My favourite American TV chef Anthony Bourdain makes a telling point in response to Donald Trump's barmy idea for creating a 'paramilitary army' of American school teachers who will receive special training in how to take down 'mass shooters'.

 No wonder Trump's luxury Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida is a gun-free zone.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act.
