20 - 5 year olds killed and 8 adults at Sandy Hook but the NRA pays for NO votes so we CANNOT MAKE OUR SCHOOLS, MOVIE THEATERS AND EVEN SPORTING EVENTS SAFER. (The NRA blocked legislation which would allow markers being put in gun powder which is used to make explosives.) I do not feel safer with the NRA buying up our Politicians in WA DC.
With research conducted by the Sunlight Foundation, The Guardian reported on the donations from the NRA and other pro-gun organizations over the last couple of decades. The NRA alone had given $800,000 to the Senators who helped nix the bill.
Among the top NRA recipients are Roy Blunt (Missouri) with $60,550
and Saxby Chambliss (Georgia) with $56,950. Fellow Republican Senators
John Thune (South Dakota), Lindsey Graham (South Carolina) and Jim
Inhofe (Oklahoma) have each received well over $40,000 apiece, as well.
While donations of this sort are generally made during election
cycles, at least two Senators suspiciously received money from the gun
industry in recent weeks. During the month of March, Richard Burr (North
Carolina) and Dan Coats (Indiana) had donations from an ammunition
manufacturer and shooting group. Considering that these donations came
at a time when gun control looked more likely to pass, their potential
impact cannot be discredited.
