"The chaos at the White House seems to be getting worse," a veteran Republican strategist said. Here's a look at one of the more unpredictable weeks in the Trump presidency thus far.

More than 9 in 10 Americans support mandatory background checks for all gun buyers. That's one finding in a new NPR/Ipsos poll that shows an increasing level of support for gun control policies.

After the Atlanta-based carrier said it was ending an NRA discount, the state's GOP lawmakers made good on a threat to eliminate a proposed tax exemption on jet fuel worth millions to the airline.

Advocates for stricter gun laws have coalesced under the hashtag #boycottNRA, and several companies appear to have heeded the call a little more than a week after the Parkland, Fla., school shooting.

The president held another meeting on the subject of school safety after last week's after 17 people were killed last week in a shooting at a Florida high school.

Though America saw the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history in 2017, efforts to enact new gun laws, once again, stalled in Congress.

The National Rifle Association has long pushed for the measure, which allows gun owners to carry concealed firearms between states where the practice is legal.

Journalist Mike Spies says the NRA's push to allow guns on college campuses, daycare centers and bars is part of an effort to "normalize gun carrying as much as possible in American public life."

Gov. Nathan Deal said previous opposition to the bill had to do with lawmakers failing to include exemptions for "sensitive places" on campus, including preschools and disciplinary hearings.

During his campaign, Trump spoke about the recent rash of mass shootings in the U.S. and suggested that restrictive gun laws had left the victims unable to return fire and defend themselves.

Many African-Americans keep guns for self-defense, dating back to Emancipation. But the shooting in Dallas, and recent killings of black men by police, have raised hard questions for black gun owners.
