What people need to understand is that the NRA does NOT derive its influence by making campaign contributions. Its influence comes from the fact that its members are very, very loyal one-issue voters.
If you're thinking that $14k in four years is enough to "buy" a congressman, you're laughably naïve.
They were one of her top 50 contributors for the 2016 election.

Why aren't reasonable gun owners speaking up and fighting for reasonable changes, like background checks, taxing the sh!t out of guns and ammo, and requiring insurance? These are highly sensible, doable things.

Whether the contribution is the reason or just evidence, the important point that she is entirely in the pocket of the NRA and she is part of the reason school children are being shot to death every month.
Exactly.
The political contributions are small potatoes compared to their massive brainwashing campaigns that appeal to the fearful, small-minded gun nuts.
They push crap like this:

No, the fact is that there have been enough voters in her district who wanted a representative who supported gun rights. It really is that simple. That's not being "in the pocket." Again, you don't seem to understand how meaningless $14k is.

When voters in her district have the option to vote for someone who didn’t receive contributions from the NRA, they will take it.

Giving it back would be a hollow political stunt. She’s already used their blood money to win the position and become the incumbent. They bought her early in her electoral political career.

the Moms Demand Action folks went to her office yesterday. I think Indivisible went, as well.
She's done.
