NRA criticizes 'aspiring presidential candidates' for politicizing shootings

The National Rifle Association (NRA) came out swinging against Democrats who have called for gun control reform in light of two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, saying "aspiring presidential candidates" are seeking to politicize the attacks.

"Real solutions save lives — televised, choreographed spectacles don't," the NRA said in a lengthy tweet thread.

"Unfortunately, aspiring presidential candidates immediately took to the airwaves this past weekend to politicize these tragedies, and to demonize the NRA and its 5 million law-abiding members."

Democrats, including many running for president, have come out in force following the weekend's pair of mass shootings that took 31 lives, saying the attacks underline the need for a slate of reforms including universal background checks and bans on high capacity magazines and assault rifles.
