Alison Parker’s Dad: Time to Hold the NRA’s ‘Feet to the Fire’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

PARKER: "I'm hoping that this time is different, because she -- as I mentioned, she is one of you guys. She is one of you guys. And not that that makes you special, but you know, you have a voice, and you need to use that voice. And we need to keep the pressure on the politicians to not be afraid of the NRA. I mean, listen, the best thing that the NRA could do right now, most of their members support reasonable gun control. The membership does. But the politicians that they get -- that give money -- get money from the NRA, they don't do anything. And it's time that we hold these people's feet to the fire and shame them wherever we can. I want to look these -- I want to go to the Virginia legislature and I want them to look me in the eye and tell me why can't we have a reasonable proposal, any reasonable background check? The things common sense dictates? I want them to look me in the eye and tell me why they don't want to support that."
REPORTER: "Have your reached out to the NRA?"
PARKER: "No, but I plan to."
