Calls for tougher background checks and gun control in general have increased yet again in the wake of three mass shootings in California, Texas and Ohio that have left more than 30 people dead.
tweeted that lawmakers should pass legislation to improve background checks while implementing immigration reformAt about noon ET on Monday, the Trump campaign held a call with surrogates, telling them to focus on the president's support for background checks, along with his condemnation of violence and white supremacy, if they are asked about the recent spate of shootings, according to a supporter who was on the call. The person said there was no mention of the influential gun rights group.
The official later forwarded a statement from the NRA, which shows it agrees with Trump in his comments denouncing the attacks. The lobbying reports do not disclose with whom the NRA lobbyists met with in Congress. The organization's political contribution record, however, demonstrates which politicians the NRA prefers to see in power.
The group invested just more than $870,000 during the 2018 election cycle, with most of its contributions going to Republicans, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. In the early stages of the 2020 elections, it's invested $61,000, and the majority of those donations have gone to GOP candidates.
