NRA gets OWNED

(02-26-2018, 09:09 PM)lastonealive Wrote: Why do they give money to politicians? You give money to politicians to help them get elected. Some businessmen (as Trump did in the past) give money to politicians hoping to get favorable decisions (such as zoning) or maybe just paying protection money (e.g "fund my campaign or I'll have your property condemned"). I'd guess the NRA donates to politicians who oppose firearm restrictions, or to the opponent of someone who was campaigning in favor of firearm restrictions. The cause/effect order is the reverse of what RJ implied. The donations are based on the politics, not the politics based on donations. The latter might work in the case of local fiefdoms and zoning laws, or even niche federal issues such as where to build a laboratory, but not for major national issues such as gun control. You don't change your mind on (say) abortion just because Planned Parenthood gave you a campaign contribution. Is this not how it works in OZ? "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
