See & understand the gun lobby's funding of the US Congress.

Description

Gun violence is a growing epidemic across America, yet Congress refuses to pass real gun legislation. This is in large part due to the gun lobby’s direct funding: the current members of Congress have accepted $40M from the gun lobby & just $4M from gun control groups, a different of an order of magnitude. Gun Funded is a website that focuses on (neutrally) making this information readily available & easy to understand. I compiled the data myself from the Center for Responsive Politics and built the site with React/Next.js/Theme UI.
