Anti-gun-violence group led by Gabrielle Giffords alleges campaign finance violations.

By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow April 24 at 9:52 PM An anti-gun-violence organization founded by former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Federal Election Commission for failing to take action against the National Rifle Association for alleged campaign finance violations.

“The FEC is supposed to be the nation’s election watchdog, but in this case it didn’t bite, bark, or even whimper,” Adam Skaggs, chief counsel of Giffords Law Center, said in a statement. The organization led by Giffords, who became one of the nation’s leading anti-gun- violence advocates after she was shot at an event in her district in 2011, is asking the court to compel the FEC to act on its complaints about the NRA.

In the 2016 presidential election, the suit alleges, that the NRA circumvented campaign laws by using the same individuals who were handling Trump’s campaign ads to also place its ads in support of Trump. The media buyers operated under different company names, but shared the same address.

At this point, 'the law' is nothing but a cute suggestion to conservative groups.

Buttina needs to stay in the USA and be a witness against this criminal organization
