Senator Gardner has received $3,879,004 from the NRA. This extremely well-paid salesman of slaughter in the U.S. Senate has not even completed a full term yet!
He has worked successfully to shut down any attempts to eliminate sales of even military assault rifles, like the AR-15, to the mentally unstable like Nikolas Cruz, the confessed murderer of seventeen in Parkland, Florida. Gardner has further ensured no limits to magazine sizes so Cruz could literally kill or maim the maximum number of children and teachers in the shortest possible time.
Gardner has delivered just what the NRA demands of him for their money — mass slaughter to sell more guns. AR-15 ammunition literally rips a body apart as though a grenade has gone off. This weapon of war was also used by Adam Lanza to kill all those first graders six years ago at Sandy Hook.
Senator Gardner has offered the stricken families only his crocodile prayers. He ignores Pope Francis who said: “You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That is how prayer works.” By doing nothing, Gardner works to ensure the slaughter of our children will continue as his funders at the NRA demand to stimulate gun sales.
And that makes the Senator complicit in the disasters in Parkland and Vegas and Sandy Hook and all those set to come until, and unless, he decides to represent the people as opposed to the purveyors of murder and mayhem at the NRA.
