GUN RIGHTS MONEY - The gun rights industry has given almost $30,000 this election cycle to Utah’s four congressman and one of its senators.
The congressional delegation has received far more over the years, according to OpenSecrets.org. It’s a not-for-profit that examines campaign donations and lobbying. It categorizes groups such as the National Rifle Association and the National Shooting Sports Foundation as part of the gun rights industry.
All of Utah’s congressional delegation is Republican, and gun rights has been a big part of its platform in recent decades. “So, I think behavior of Senator Lee looks a little different this year than Senator Romney, because Senator Romney is not in a race.”In 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed two bills to enhance background checks on gun buyers. All four of Utah’s House members voted nay.
Romney’s office sent remarks he gave today at the Capitol saying he would be open to new legislation.
