Heard a blurb on Rush Limbaugh about the overstated political power of the NRA and decided to look up some numbers.
According to this article, the NRA has contributed just over $200 mil on party contributions and lobbying since 1998. That's a big-ass number, right?

Well, check out the Top 10 contributors on this list. Leftist organizations are indicated by the blue bar on the left side of each row.

The American Federation of Teachers and the NEA ponied up $64 mil in 2016 alone.
So when the gun nuts of the left bitch about the NRA owning politicians, just karate chop them in the throat for blindly repeating more bullshit they heard from some creepy little sprite like Bill Maher.
$200 mil since 1998 ain't jack shit and won't buy you much.
