The National Shooting Sports Foundation, based in Newtown, Conn., has spent $15.5 million lobbying Congress since 2019 — 40% more than the NRA, according to records tracked by the nonprofit Open Secrets. “For years, Republicans have safeguarded their campaign coffers at the expense of keeping our schools safe,” U.S. Sen. Edward Markey said in a statement when asked about the group’s lobbying. “They’re beholden to pro-gun lobbyists who buoy industry profits by peddling dangerous lies about common-sense gun reform efforts that the American people widely support.”
“We're talking about a lawful, constitutionally protected piece of equipment,” said Mark Oliva, the group's spokesman. “This is protected by the Constitution. You have a right to own these guns.”
