Our senators are bought and paid for
To the Editor:
Our state’s senators, Richard Burr and Thom Tillis, have consistently opposed event he most modest form of gun reform. As reported in The Charlotte Observer, Burr received nearly $7 million from the National Rifle Association while Tillis received $4.5 million. Only one other U.S. senator received more from the NRA than Burr. Only three, including Burr, received more than Tillis. Both have A+ ratings on legislation supported by the NRA. These are our guys in the Senate. Bought and paid for.
