NRA donated 36 million dollars to the Trump Campaign.
Also donated to six republican senate positions, five out of the six who won.
The NRA has built a movement that has convinced its followers that gun ownership is a way of life, central to one’s freedom and safety, that must be defended on a daily basis.
The NRA has a 501 (c)(4) status and is regarded as a "social welfare organization" by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a tax-exempt non-profit organization.
"Really American" Facebook page stated "To be operated exclusively to promote social welfare, an organizatin must operate primarily to further the common good and general welfare of the people of the community (such as by bringing about civic betterment and social improvements."
Social welfare organizations may also get involved in political campaigns and elections, provided their involvement is related to the group’s mission, and again, only if this does not constitute their primary activity.
Following the Parkland shooting, many Republican senators didn't even mention the word "gun," and Trump choose to focus on working on mental health issues in the future.
Current House and Senate members:
1. John McCain receives $7,740,521 from the NRA
2. Richard Burr $6,986,620
3. Roy Blunt $4,551,146
4. Thom Tillis $4,418,012
5. Cory Gardner $3,879,064
6. Marco Rubio $3,303,355
