- "Every attempt to have a national conversation about gun violence is thwarted by the NRA. The NRA sends the word out to their puppets in Congress that even entertaining the idea of putting in place the most common-sense of laws will lead to a lower "lawmaker rating" or fewer campaign donations. This includes restrictions on the high-capacity magazines used in Orlando, Sandy Hook, San Bernadino, and countless other attacks. This includes legislation to prevent those who commit domestic violence from owning a gun. This includes legislation to prevent those on a terror watchlist or a no-fly list from buying a gun."
