How a Top Republican Donor Is Pushing Congress to Pass Gun Control

A prominent Republican donor said he is launching a group devoted to pushing for comprehensive gun safety legislation on a national level following last month's deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Al Hoffman Jr., a real estate developer who served as Ambassador to Portugal under George W. Bush, plans to publicly announce the formation of the group, which will be called Americans for Gun Safety Now, on March 24, when he is in Washington D.C. to attend the March for Our Lives rally.
