Mike Lee ripped a gun safety group for fundraising off of the Texas school shooting. Lee’s campaign has used fears about gun control to fundraise – By Bryan Schott (Salt Lake Tribune) / May 27, 2022
Lee’s campaign has run several ads on social media promoting his pro-Second Amendment stance.
Sen. Mike Lee leveled harsh criticism toward the pro-gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety for sending out an email asking for support following Tuesday’s shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
On Wednesday, Lee brought up the Everytown email during his turn questioning President Joe Biden’s nominee to be the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Steve Dettelbach.

“Everytown’s fundraising email attempts to play on the emotions of those whose lives have been ripped apart by this tragic shooting,” Lee said, asking Dettelbach if he would disavow the group which has endorsed his nomination.
