If the US would switch to publicly funded elections, the NRA wouldn't have such a grip on the government, and in turn you would probably get more sensible gun legislation passed.
Right now there are hundreds of members of government both Democrat and Republican that refuse to support gun control legislation because the NRA has a huge influence over their constituency. Sad that money is such a driving force in the political world, but that is the reality the US faces right now.
So lets go ahead and elect Hillary or Trump and we'll continue financing politics with big money for another 8 years.
