EXCLUSIVE: The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund, the political action committee (PAC) associated with the gun rights organization, raised more than $1.7 million in August, beating its August 2016 total and raising more than it did in any month ahead of the presidential election that year.

The $1,725,700 the organization raised in August is almost $240,000 higher than its best month of 2016, March, when it raised just under $1.5 million. The NRA's PAC pulled in $1.4 million in August 2016.

"The NRA is grateful to our members and gun owners for a record-breaking August," NRA spokeswoman Amy Hunter told Fox News. "Americans step up when their rights are in danger, and they’re stepping up now because they know the stakes of this election couldn’t be higher."

I’ve donated to the NRA PVF, but I will not give one thin dime to the regular NRA until they show Wayne LaPierre the door.

I wonder if they sent gift baskets to Hogg boy and Emma as they did wonders for memberships and donations to the NRA as well?

I’m sure LaPierre appreciates this. He’s likely planning another five star Riviera vacation and will pick up his winter wardrobe while he’s there.

It’s facelift season! LaPierre can’t go on TV without getting a little work done - a little botox and a chin lift with PVF donor dollars.
