You literally gave $250k to support a candidate with an A+ rating from the NRA.
We can’t have a nominee who has voted to:
- Block the Brady Bill 5 times
- Allow guns on trains and planes
- Protect gun manufacturers from lawsuits
- Prohibit funding for research into stopping gun violence
Unlike Bernie Sanders, I will always take the fight to the gun lobby.
