March for Our Lives, Everytown, Giffords: These three are among the organizations fighting for gun law reform. But their lobbying spend is significantly outpaced by gun-rights groups.
- Gun safety lobbyists have been vastly outspent by gun rights groups.
- Leaders of gun control lobbies have lost parents, children and other loved ones to gun violence.
- Experts say gun control groups lack a sense of identity compared to the opposition.
Their leaders have been shot in the head, had their parents killed in a hail of gunfire, and lost young children in a bloody massacre. Their friends were slain in high school hallways.
Now, they are under the gun once again, drawn to the national spotlight by a cluster of rampages that have left 35 dead, countless others maimed and triggered calls once again for federal restrictions on guns.
