[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3089287, member: 13624"] Even that's not entirely accurate. The NRA is a 501(c)(3), and [I]can't[/I] engage in a whole lot of lobbying, campaigning, or donation. Its affiliated organizations, NRA-ILA and NRA-PVF, give buckets of money. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that it can very easily be used to paint a misleading picture. See [URL]http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/oct/11/counting-up-how-much-nra-spends/[/URL] for an analysis; as the article says, "[a]ll told, the $3.5 million figure [for direct giving to current members of Congress since 1998) accounts for just 1.7 percent of everything the NRA spent on politics."
