The NRA by far, donates to the republican party, in 2012 the total percentage that went to the GOP is 88%. By far the NRA -National Rifle Association is giving more donations to the republican party and are winning the battle against gun control legislation. NRA donates more money to Republican campaigns than to the Democrat Party There can be a time when due to public pressure the Republicans just have to say “NO” to the NRA, for the protection of innocent people, and for the own profile of being pro-gun though the work of the NRA’s lobbyists. Republican Senator David Vitter set about to protect concealed weapon permits that allows guns across the country for those gun owners that can’t be without their guns at any time. Vitter and his co sponsor of the Respecting States Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, proposes to equalize the watering down of states rights to determine their own gun laws, and would induce states that have stricter laws to lessen restrictions. The same law as in Florida, which gave George Zimmerman the right to carry a concealed weapon, a gun even though he had two charges of violence against him from his wife/girlfriend and a charge of violence against a police officer. George Zimmerman is charged with second degree murder of an innocent, unarmed teen, Trayvon Martin in Feburary 2012. He is released on bail awaiting a trial that will be assisted by members of the NRA to ensure he wins his case. In Zimmerman’s case, here is a man with three formal legal charges of violence that was still allowed to carry a gun even though he was not permitted to under the Neighborhood Watch Program. Zimmerman’s case is one of where he should have been restricted to not be able to carry a gun, due to his violent background and his file that recorded these incidents in the past which were ignored. There were also other quirky signs with George Zimmerman that should have alerted the police by the number of emergency calls he made about black persons in his neighborhood. In this instance a co-ordination between state gun licensing authorities and the police would have exposed his previous record but there is no such legal requirement and co-ordination of law enforcement. Most of the PAC money of the NRA money going to Congress of the $576,751 total, 88% or $509,201 went to the republicans, 12% or $67,550 went to Democrats. Read more: politicolnews.com
