Why are the lives of innocent people less important than the profits of the gun industry?
PennLive Letters to the Editor
In the nearly ten years since the Sandy Hook school shooting that killed 20 children and six adults, the NRA has spent more than $100 million to help elect Republicans who will support their extreme agenda, including $30 million alone to elect Donald Trump. In February 2018, after the deadly Parkland school shooting, Donald Trump briefly promised to pass gun control measures. He even mocked Republicans for being afraid of the NRA. And then he caved.
Now, after the horrific massacres in Buffalo, NY, and Uvalde, TX, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill with commonsense gun safety measures, and we are told that this bill is “doomed” in the US Senate. It is clear that the NRA has bought the GOP. Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
