Nine Musicians Who Support Donald Trump

In the past year, musicians have told Donald Trump not to use their songs. It's a pretty standard request during presidential elections, and for more than just copyright reasons: Musicians don't want to be associated with a candidate who doesn't embody their values.

But there are a few artists who have come out in support of the reality television boss turned president-elect. They represent a wide-range of music (not just mainstream country) and have come out in support of the Donald online and in interviews.

We will not help with enforcement of absurd gun-control ruling, arms association says

The South African Arms and Ammunition Dealers Association (Saaada) has labelled a firearms-control ruling by the Constitutional Court as "a travesty of justice" and has resolved not to help with its enforcement, saying the ruling deprives many responsible gun owners of their property and the ability to protect themselves in a crime-ridden society.

In June, the court upheld the constitutionality of regular firearm licences, after an appeal by the minister of safety and security, by dismissing a high court order that had declared that two sections of the Firearms Control Act of 2000 were unconstitutional.
