There’s one guarantee the Gun Lobby doesn’t bother with the ALP, Greens,and Teals. So where does their money go? Politicians and parties that "empathize" with their more guns, and less control cause.

The Liberals more now that Dutton is searching for support and funders Mass shootings well, they’re rare and in the above-pictured company not talked about.
