The NRA just broke a 15-year fundraising record

As the student-led March for Our Lives movement captured the nation's attention in the weeks after the Parkland shooting, the other side of the gun control debate enjoyed a banner month of its own.

The National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund raised $2.4 million from March 1 to March 31, the group's first full month of political fundraising since the nation's deadliest high school shooting on Valentine's Day, according to filings submitted to the Federal Elections Commission. The total is $1.5 million more than the organization raised during the same time period in 2017, when it took in $884,000 in donations, and $1.6 million more than it raised in February 2018.

The $2.4 million haul is the most money raised by the NRA's political arm in one month since June 2003, the last month when electronic federal records were readily available. It surpasses the $1.1 million and $1.5 million raised in January and February 2013, the two months after the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

Most of the donations, $1.9 million of the $2.4 million total, came from small donors who gave less than $200. The NRA doles out money to political campaigns from the victory fund, but most of its spending is on activity that isn't directly linked with a lawmakers' campaign where the group is not bound by state and federal campaign finance limits. For example, Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio received only $9,900 in direct contributions from the NRA during his 2016 U.S. Senate campaign, but his campaign benefited from $3.3 million in outside spending from the NRA to help him defeat Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy.

"Hey, Lefty, piss me off again..."

That was just the PVF! I wonder how the ILA and the NRA itself did.

Two of my non gun owning friends recently joined the NRA. I gave no influence or discussed it w/ them.
Turns out they were instead reacting to counter the national push of recent events.
I chalk it up to the media doing what the media does. Lie and represent one half the story for their benefit.

Got me to re-up, donate and try to donate something monthly so yeah the more they bitch and moan the more we build the coffers for war.

Make it rain!

Sweet, I hope the extra funds are put to good use.

Thanks Hogg Hitler!

My wife and I are signed for the next 5 years.

As they read the headlines ...Liberal heads EXPLODE. LOL.

I signed up eight members and made a few donations myself. We HAVE to, they are our only hope. Plus it's cool how much they annoy the Libtards!

Also love that’s it’s mostly donations of under $200. So much for the “NRA is funded by gun companies” argument. (not that I’d care if they were.)

Para and all the other gun forums deserve a big attaboy. Without this cohesiveness this couldn't happen.

My wife signed up for a 5 year membership

I donated in February. So I guess that I didn't contribute to the record. But that's OK!

I have a good friend who is in the membership department.. I will ask him how many new people joined in March. I have heard many people say that they joined for the first time.
