In the wake of the Parkland, Florida school shooting, American’s hearts were heavy, especially after local officials, FBI, and school officials missed so many opportunities to stop the deadly attack by a mentally ill teen.
However, instead of focusing on the communication and procedural issues, and mental health problems, liberals decided to use children to push their anti-gun narrative.
That decision has been a proven failure, as the NRA just broke a 15-year fundraising record.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) broke a 15-year fundraising record in March with a total of $2.4 million being donated to the organization.
According to the Miami Herald, the donations to the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund were made from Mar. 1 to Mar. 31, the first full month after the tragic Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
The majority of donations, $1.9 million, were raised by people who gave less than $200 each and are considered to be “small donors.”
March’s fundraising amount is $1.5 million more than what was raised in March 2017 and $1.6 million more than it raised in February 2018.
According to the Miami Herald, $2.4 million is the most the NRA’s Political Victory Fund raised in a single month since June 2003.
Since the Parkland, Florida, shooting, some students have become vocal advocates for increased gun control and critics of the NRA.
“Lastly, let’s put the USA over the NRA,” student David Hogg said at the March for Our Lives.
The Miami Herald reported gun control groups, such as Everytown for Gun Safety’s Political Action Fund and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) political action committee, raised far less in March.
Everytown reportedly raised $13,580 and Giffords’ PAC raised $129,589 in March.
The NRA’s political fund seeing an increase in funds following a shooting isn’t entirely unfounded, either. In the two months after the 2013 Sandy Hook shooting, the organization reportedly raised $1.1 million and $1.5 million.
