US firms cut ties with NRA

COMPANIES have axed links with the National Rifle Association after the Florida school shooting.

It follows calls for a boycott of those linked to the gun lobby and calls for tighter weapon controls.

Firms include car rental giants Hertz and Enterprise, which had offered deals for NRA members.

The murder of 17 people in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last week has sparked protests across the US.
