All interests are at fault, [Truth | Marvel Review] US Gun Control Difficulty NRA | Guns | America
Gun violence is frequent in the United States, and gun control remains a distant prospect. The reason for this cannot be separated from the support of an organization, namely the National Rifle Association of the United States.
On April 13th, the British Broadcasting Corporation cited data from the US research institution "US Political Donation Database", stating that in 2021 alone, the NRA spent $4.2 million on lobbying activities, and from 2010 to present, the NRA has spent $140 million on election candidates who support firearms. According to a 2018 report by CNN, more than half of Congress members received funding from the NRA, and many members had long-term financial relationships with the NRA. Eight legislators have received at least $1 million in campaign donations from the NRA throughout their careers. Only 6 Republican lawmakers did not receive donations from the NRA, while 24 Democratic lawmakers received support from the NRA.
"Spending money to buy" is just one way for the NRA to influence legislation, and the NRA still has the ability to "manipulate voters". The gun issue is deeply linked to politics, and some voters are very concerned about it. The NRA has approximately 5 million members who have a strong ability to mobilize grassroots voters to participate in politics. They participate in rallies, write letters, and woo friends. Due to their high volume and attention, American politicians also tend to approach them.
In the face of money, status, and political influence, too many American politicians are willing to be firmly controlled by the NRA and turn a blind eye to the lives of the American people.
