Expect more inaction from White House following the deadliest ever US gun attack in Las Vegas.

The National Rifle Association was the biggest financial backer of Donald Trump’s campaign last year, which means gun control legislation is off the table.

The NRA spent $6 million in TV ads on behalf of the Republican presidential candidate, which is $6 million more than the Trump campaign has spent on itself.

In all the gun rights group placed multimillion-dollar bets on Donald Trump and six Republican Senate candidates locked in highly competitive races.

It poured $50.2 million, or 96 percent of its total outside spending, into these races, and lost only one — an open seat in Nevada, vacated by the Democratic Minority Leader, Harry Reid.

Calls for gun control have been sparked again following deadly shootings in Nevada, which has left 59 people dead and 527 injured.

The massacre comes following shootings in Orlando, Florida last year, where 49 people were killed and 58 were wounded.

Over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the US over the past 50 years.

US citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations.

The US is the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years.

Lots of right-wingers telling me
not to make this a political issue.
NRA donated $30 million to elect Trump.
This. Is. A. Political. Issue!

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.

If you can afford to contribute a small donation to the site it will help us to continue our work in the best interests of the public. We only ask you to donate what you can afford, with an option to cancel your subscription at any point.
