corruption alert we need to think about louis member that
uh... boat last week we discussed where
uh...
we had the possibility of an amendment which would mandate across the board
background checks to purchase guns that didn't pass in spite of oral
overwhelming support from actual people right
well it turns out that most of the senators who voted against
received cash from the gun lobby probably won't be surprising to many
people
but it is interesting information to look at all but three of the u_s_
senators who voted against background checks last week
received money from the gun lobby
it's very simple lewis
they get money
and then they help the gun lobby it's kind of
very straightforward
is it possible
their intent all along is to help the gun lobby
and they're just going to take in the house because they are so hard core
second-amendment however they interpret it
that the n_r_a_'s dessert or you know what ok will this help these guys if
that were the case the n_r_a_ wouldn't give them money
because they would say hey what are already going to do everything we want
right
with that is all they might lose so uh... lou is the same makes sense that
would help them win because they know that there
they actually believe is so they really a definite
yes vote for you know done nuts
of the forty five senators who voted no on kanwar reform that would have
expanded background checks for you to took money from po pro-gun groups
according to analysis done by the guardian
and sunlight foundation which is a non-profit that uses the internet to
promote government transparency
federal election commission campaign disclosures show that the n_r_a_ gave
eight hundred thousand dollars
two forty of the senators who voted against gun reform since nineteen ninety
forty seven percent of the house of representatives received donations from
the n_r_a_ during the last campaign
also this on my foundation analysts find that in close races
the n_r_a_ spent large sums of money opposing democratic nominees
the n_r_a_ spent almost a million dollars opposing shared brown
six hundred and twenty six thousand dollars opposing bill nelson etcetera
et cetera there are also allot of
um... other groups that are they're not specifically gun groups but like for
example we have uh... the the madison is the madison something or other the
madison project is the right wing group
and it lists
the opposite of gun control a headless expansion of gun rights and defending
gun rights as one of its top issues so
how does it past the most basic logic test to say
that people getting money from lobbyists
what legislate differently based on having receive that money we hear this
all the time we hear in media and we hear it in politics listen
we have advertisers they give us money
i have donors to give me money but what i do slash what i report depending on
whether we're talking about
and advertise in media outlet
or a politician isn't in no way affected by who gives me money it just doesn't
make sense this is a system of legalized bribery period
even if louis is right that there are some cases where the individual would be
voting the same way anyway
it is a system of legalized bribery
they obviously if you if you look at uh... all the instances of this
you can usually just follow the money and there's a nasty relationship between
donors
lobbyists
and was being made
it's a disgusting relational laws being that may not pay exactly a
