Fucking diabolical, but where do they get the massive funds from? Russia?
The National Rifle Associations overall spending surged by more than $100 million in 2016, surpassing any previous annual NRA spending totals on record, according to an audit obtained by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The explosion in spending came as the NRA poured unprecedented amounts of money into efforts to deliver Donald Trump the White House and help Republicans hold both houses of Congress.
The audit filed with the state of North Carolina shows that the NRAs total expenditures exploded to more than $419 million, up from $312 million the prior year.
