Politico reports "Republicans start to sour on gun control laws after Trump's reversal." This comes a day after the New York Times reported "After Lobbying by Gun Rights Advocates, Trump Sounds a Familiar Retreat."
The amazing thing is also, yesterday, the Washington Post reported that "A Republican poll shows overwhelming support for stricter gun control."
There must be a political price for Republican leaders who put gun industry lobbyists ahead of even their own voters -- let along over the lives of Americans. That's why it's important to get this TV ad on the air in McConnell's home state of Kentucky this week.
We first made this TV ad in 2013 after the Sandy Hook school shooting as part of a series of ads featuring gun owners who support reform. Sadly, these TV ads are still applicable today -- with the only update being how much money McConnell has taken from the gun lobby, going from $198,615 to $671,347.
The TV ads changed the national dialogue and were covered nationally by CNN, The Washington Post, ABC, CBS, Roll Call, Yahoo News, TPM, Huffington Post, and others. In Kentucky, the Louisville Courier Journal, local NBC, local FOX, The Leo Weekly, the Associated Press, and others covered them.
They are just as powerful today -- maybe even more so because they show how long McConnell has been blocking gun reform for the gun industry.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here.
