The National Rifle Association’s political action committee broke a 15-year fundraising record in March, two months after the mass shooting in Parkland, Fla.

The NRA Political Victory Fund raised $2.4 million throughout the month of March, the largest in one month since June 2003, according to Federal Election Commission filings, National Review reported.

Of the $2.4 million raised, $1.9 million came from donations of $200 or less. The NRA faces constant scrutiny from gun control advocates for its stance on the Second Amendment after 17 people were killed by Nikolas Cruz at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14.

Sure. What are they doing? Offering a free AR(Automatic Rifle) with each new membership? Oh, this was PAC money. Anyone got any guesses on membership?

This is just their PAC too, right? Doesn’t include donations to the regular NRA?

The way I read it. Of course they’re piker compared to the splc based on the post I just made.

I guess the Hogg boy ate a whole sleeve of cookies when he heard the news.

Good news. My guess is that other, sometimes more effective, gun rights organizations are also doing well. But the other side is drowning in money, so we need to give till it hurts.

As I read it, yes. But donations to the "regular NRA" cannot be used for political purposes.

I read too quickly and thought it said, NBA breaks fundraising records

No, WNAB breaks fur raising record. LOL! Easy to misread things these days. And, sometimes we’re better off it we do.

The other day, I got pissed off enough at the orwellian propaganda from the MSM, that I overcame my long term objection to the NRA as a milquetoast organzation lacking in hard principles, and signed up to join for the first time in years. To further salve my conscience for rejoining this organization that I really don't like for being so weak kneed, I also went ahead and joined both Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). Both of these are a lot more no-compromise orgs than is the NRA.
