There are also sources that confirms the amount of money these corrupt politicians have from the NRA: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/10/04/opinion/thoughts-prayers-nra-funding-senators.html https://www.cbsnews.com/news/who-are-the-members-of-congress-receiving-the-most-nra-funding/ https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/recips.php?id=d000000082 I’m all for making it well known how much money politicians receive from lobbyists, but, like, I know what hysteria narrative you’re trying to push. The NRA didn’t exactly condone or cause this shooting. The point of bringing out these receipts is to show the hypocrisy of these politicians that feel “so saddened” about what happened whilist getting money from an organization that advocates against stricter guns laws. (Which would have prevented this). Not only that, the NRA has actively blocked scientific study on gun violence for 20 years, a ‘ban’ that came from Congressional actions. In other words, assholes like these have received direct money from the NRA to stifle any scientific research–any at all–out of the fear that studies might show any negative results towards American gun culture, introduce stricter gun laws, and reduce gun sales. Fuck these guys, honestly. -- source link
