The assault rifle Adam Lanza used at Sandy Hook Elementary allowed him to shoot at the first graders hiding in their classrooms 150 times in less than five minutes.
The year following Sandy Hook, political contributions from gun rights groups like the NRA more than doubled in order to fight off heightened calls for gun control, and our politicians took the money. They profited from the murder of those children.
This week, in Uvalde, Texas, 19 more elementary school children were murdered, in their school, by a man using an assault rifle. The passionate cries for change have already begun, and so there’s surely another windfall of donations coming from the NRA and other groups to fight them off in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting.
Rather than lining their campaign war chests with this money like they did after Sandy Hook, recipients of these NRA donations should pass them right on to the victims’ families. Our elected officials shouldn’t profit from the mass murder of children again.
Please spread the word. #NRAitforward
