By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow April 24 at 9:52 PM An anti-gun-violence organization founded by former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Federal Election Commission for failing to take action against the National Rifle Association for alleged campaign finance violations.
“The FEC is supposed to be the nation’s election watchdog, but in this case it didn’t bite, bark, or even whimper,” Adam Skaggs, chief counsel of Giffords Law Center, said in a statement. The organization led by Giffords, who became one of the nation’s leading anti-gun- violence advocates after she was shot at an event in her district in 2011, is asking the court to compel the FEC to act on its complaints about the NRA.
In the 2016 presidential election, the suit alleges, that the NRA circumvented campaign laws by using the same individuals who were handling Trump’s campaign ads to also place its ads in support of Trump. The media buyers operated under different company names, but shared the same address.

Biden voted with the NRA when the Senate, and the nation, were very differentAs Biden prepares to launch his 2020 presidential run, guns are an area of his record in public life that consistently fall in line with the values of today's Democratic Party. But still, potential political dangers lurk, even on his signature issue. Screw the jargon. Biden is running for President. PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE 🎙🇺🇸🌩🔫 Ex Post Facto We do not convict people of violations that took place before a law was passed.
