A Quote by Ana Kasparian

When the NRA is funding your campaign and giving you, you know, millions of dollars, are you likely to pass gun legislation or support it? No, and I think that's the reason why we see members of Congress refusing to do anything.

The NRA is funded by weapons manufacturers, and those same manufacturers know that they stand to lose some business if we pass common-sense gun legislation. As a result, the NRA contributes money to politicians to ensure that gun control never happens.

Individual NRA members, black and white, are publicly questioning why the organization has virtually nothing to say about Philando Castile. Just like with background checks - which most NRA members support - the NRA is out of step with its own members.

Lucy McBath

Honestly this is not going to change unless the people who want to prevent these kinds of mass shootings from taking place feel at least as passionate, at least as mobilized and well-funded as the NRA and the gun manufacturers are because the politics in Congress are such where even members of Congress who know better are fearful if they vote their conscience and support common sense measures like background checks, they're worried they're going to lose.

Barack Obama

The true gun safety advocates, as they have been for centuries, are the millions of members of the NRA and other training organizations.

Katie Pavlich

I feel like moderate Republicans, who would support sensible gun violence legislation, are pushed aside by those folks who are absolutely beholden to the NRA.

Tammy Duckworth

I understand that Donald's [Trump] been strongly supported by the NRA. The gun lobby's on his side. They're running millions of dollars of ads against me.

Hillary Clinton

Why can't we get real, sane, sensible gun legislation? Because the NRA, funded by Mossberg, Smith & Wesson, Glock and all the rest of the big dogs in the weapons industry, you know, spread around donations and won't let it move through.

Keith Ellison

People of the United States of America, your Congress is bought, your Congress is incapable of making legislation on healthcare, banking, trade, or taxes because if they do it, they will lose their political funding and they won’t do it.

Dylan Ratigan

Congress can pass reasonable gun safety legislation and save lives. We have a duty to the American people to do our job.

Ted Lieu

I think Washington watchers keep their eye on what's coming out of Congress legislatively, and they don't see anything. They see Trump meeting and talking and doing things, and they don't see any legislation. To them, everything's legislation. I don't think they're aware of how Trump does things.

Rush Limbaugh

The NRA has become financially dependent on more and more guns being sold - especially the expensive ones. In turn, the NRA has stated that its top legislative priority is to protect gun makers by advocating for legislation that benefits them.

Chris Murphy

It's incumbent upon all members of Congress to support legislation that keeps us safe at home and abroad.

Chuck Fleischmann

There are bills being discussed to raise the amount that Members of Congress pay in to their benefits and I support these pieces of legislation.

Rob Woodall

What I said to the members [of Congress] who hoped they would be chairmen: let's don't have that problem. Be thinking now about legislation that you have, preferably that enjoys some Democratic support because we certainly didn't think we were going to have 60 and we don't.

Mitch McConnell

As members of the oldest civil rights organization in the nation, NRA members know tyranny when we see it.

Wayne LaPierre

I don't think NRA members are bad people at all. I think they're responsible gun owners that want to become politically active and make their voices heard in this democracy.
