Trump and the NRA
Now this is unlikely to come a surprise to people who have an interest in politics, but Donald Trump was by far the major beneficiary of NRA cash during America's 2016 Presidential election.
Which is presumably why Trump is supporting the NRA's insane policy of arming teachers in American schools instead of introducing sensible and tighter gun controls.
More Guns vs Fever Guns (25/02/18)
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'.
New Yorker Bourdain pours cold water on the 'barmy army' plan with the news that the success rate for NYPD police officers hitting their target in a gun fight is just 18%.
No wonder Trump's luxury Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida is a gun-free zone.
Before entertaining the ridiculous notion of arming teachers, worth considering the NYPD stat for hitting their target in gun fight is 18%.
More Guns vs Fewer Guns (23/02/18)
An angry father doesn't hold back in the aftermath of America's latest mass shooting incident.
Meanwhile Donald Trumps talks about arming school teachers which will no doubt drum up even more business for the NRA (National Rifle Association).

Chris Riddell's cartoon in The Sunday Times shows Donald Trump with an NRA security blanket.
Trump's Empty Rhetoric (16/02/18)
Lots of politicians, on the left and right of politics, use powerful rhetoric to get their message across when running for office.
But Donald Trump's hypocrisy seems to know no bounds as he blames a shooter's 'mental disturbance' for the latest dreadful incident in Florida.
Yet one of Trump's first acts as President in 2017 was to rescind the Obama-era gun checks for people with mental health problems.
