I think they could have done better. I was hoping for at least 100 millions. I guess I'll have to increase my contribution.

The nra and it's pac gave 54.4 million to the 2016 e******n
Literally a drop in the bucket. They are not listed in the top twenty-five contributors to political campaigns. Since calling you a liar will get me suspended, I will just say that you are very selective in the misinformation that you post. The only reference I found to 54 million is a guesstimate, and for the information of the rest of the readers, I posted the part you left out.
The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics estimated that during the 2016 e******n, the NRA and its affiliates spent a record $54m to secure Republican control of the White House and Congress, including at least $30.3m to help elect Donald Trump.
But experts have caution that the relationship between contributions from pro-gun groups and Congress’ reticence to change the nation’s gun laws is complicated at best. The NRA accounts for just a fraction of the contributions lawmakers receive, and the group doesn’t crack the top 50 in terms of spending to the lobby the federal government.

I know. You don't care for anything that doesn't fit in your bigoted, parochial and usually misspelled viewpoint, do you?

You've never heard of NAGR? Just try and elect a l*****t democrat and what how the NRA will grow exponentially.

I tossed my NRA card when they took money from Russia and gave it to trump, and I'm plenty capable of defending my gun rights myself. And as we stack the body's of those who try to take them, they will stop!
I've asked others who made this claim and I'm still waiting for some tiny bit of t***h to the story
Didn't happen, and I think you know that.
