Sen. Elizabeth Warren says the National Rifle Association is holding "Congress hostage" when it comes to stemming gun violence.

The Massachusetts senator and Democratic presidential candidate tells a campaign rally that if seven children were dying from a mysterious virus, "we'd pull out all the stops till we figured out what was wrong." But in terms of gun violence, she says the NRA "keeps calling the shots in Washington."

Warren finished a two-day campaign trip to New Hampshire with an event at middle school in Conway Sunday afternoon.

Warren focused much of her speech on her approach to economics, but paid special attention to unions Sunday. She says more power needs to be put back in the hands of workers.

1. Has Warren pledge not to take money from the NRA?

I know Beto did for his last election and I'm trying to see where all the primary candidates stand on the NRA.

2. The NRA donations come from the NRA PAC

Elizabeth Warren doesn't accept contributions from PACs of any kind or federally registered lobbyists.

3. Thanks for the clarification. I forget she wasn't taking PAC money.
