The ad, which details exactly how much each member of Congress received from the NRA, cost $230,000 to purchase. Approximately 100 politicians are named.
"These members of Congress take NRA money, but refuse to take action to pass gun safety legislation," the ad reads.
The opposite page includes a photo of Parkland school shooting survivors, as well as a quote from one of the young organizers: "We're the children. You guys are the adults ... get something done."
SEE ALSO: After the Parkland shooting, the gun control debate isn't fading awayTop recipients of NRA contributions include Senator John McCain (who received over $7.74 million), Senator Richard Burr (who collected $6.9 million), and Senator Roy Blunt (who took in $4.5 million). Farther down the list Senator Marco Rubio, who received $3.3 million in donations.
None of the senators have agreed to any kind of gun control, though Senator Marco Rubio did recently propose a "firearm task force," whatever that means.
Rubio, who has an A+ rating from the NRA, says he understands that "people roll their eyes at a task force." On this, he is correct.
