President Trump and many of his acolytes are trying to deflect the scrutiny of voters from "the gun issue" to violent video games and violent movies as the cause of school shootings. That bogeyman or evil spirit has been around awhile. It was untrue at the start of the rumor and still is untrue.
It seems that President Trump does not want voters to know how much the NRA has donated to his campaign. (over 30 million) The NRA gets a lot of its funding from small arms manufactures. Many of his acolytes are deflecting voters for the same reason.
