Original Note:
The claim that the NRA “buys off Congress” is misleading. Politifact notes that “all of the NRA’s contributions to candidates, parties and leadership political action committees between 1998 and 2016… comes to more than $13 million.” Most NRA money is spent on advocacy and ads https://www.politifact.com/article/2018/may/18/facts-mass-shootings-guns-united-states/
