Debunking The Lie That GOP Politicians Are In The Pocket Of The National Rifle Association | Daily Wire:

"There has never been a shortage of Democrats willing to hurl mud at GOP politicians who staunchly support the constitutionally protected American right to bear arms. In January, 2016, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said, “The NRA built their political power over 20 to 30 years. And Republicans right now are in the pocket of the NRA.” More recently, on his late night “comedy” show, Jimmy Kimmel said the NRA “has Republicans’ balls in a money clip”.

However, liberal claims of political influence buying are rarely supported by empirical evidence and comparison statistics. The mainstream media, as always, are complicit in pushing the leftist gun-control narrative. They allow Democratic politicians and celebrities to make spurious claims without digging deeper, because an actual comparison of NRA direct campaign contributions to liberal and progressive special interest contributors to Democrats would leave suggestions of corruption ringing hollow."
