The even sadder reality is we have politicians who say that there's nothing that can be done and it's because they choose to do nothing. I'm talking about the politicians that are bought and paid for by the gun lobby. Senator Johnson has received $1.2 million in campaign support from the NRA from the gun lobby. Of course he's going to say there's nothing that can be done. He's bought and paid for. He is in their pockets and he is going to put their interests before the lives of our children. (24:58–25:06)
