I don't think Democrats should accept one penny going forward.
I understand red state Democrats and "purity testing" but I am not saying that.
What I am saying is that the NRA donations are so small anyway to Dems that why take them at all?

The NRA is very insecure, is it because they were back benchers after a free press?

Any candidate that accepts NRA money should be NRA-shamed. The public needs to be told at every possible occasion how much money a candidate received from the NRA and the number of children killed during their tenure.
