Trump: why are you afraid of the NRA?

washington - US President Donald Trump has urged policy makers in Washington to think big when designing new weapons laws. 'I will sign the law', he responded in a debating session at the White House.

In addition, Trump accused the politicians of being afraid of the National Rifle Association (NRA), the lobby group of arms owners and manufacturers in the United States. 'They seem to have tremendous power over you. However, they have less power over me. '

Trump was supported by the gun lobby during his campaign in 2016. He told representatives of the NRA that it is time for something to change. 'We have to put a stop to this nonsense,' he said after the shooting of seventeen deaths at a school in Florida.

The president wants stricter controls on the purchase of weapons and wants to raise the minimum age from 18 to 21 years. The White House wants to publish a list of Trumps plans on Thursday.
