I sent the NRA a $2,500 donation last week, and I'm already a life member.

It blows up in the face of the Liberals again.
High school rifle team gets thousands in donations after board refuses NRA grant.
STROUDSBURG, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania high school rifle team has received thousands of dollars in donations since the school board refused a grant from the National Rifle Association, officials say. The (Allentown) Morning Call reports that businesses unhappy with the decision by the Stroudsburg Area School Board raised $6,750 and turned it over to the district Wednesday for the Stroudsburg High School rifle team.
"Whether or not you agree with their decision I believe most of us support the rifle team," the GoFundMe campaign reads. "Their equipment is in excess of forty years old and it's time for an upgrade to enable them to compete at the highest level."
"Let us put our political ideology aside and come together as a community in support of our rifle team," it says.
Before the school board vote on Monday, one school director had called the NRA grant "dirty money," drawing applause from parents, The Morning Call reported.

Supporters of the Second Amendment donated about $779,000 in February to the NRA’s political arm, the Political Victory Fund, according to recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. The figure marked a more than threefold increase compared to January when the PAC received nearly $250,000 in donations and was the fund’s second-best month over the last year.
The NRA is obviously not going anywhere, and this wave of marches has only added to their funding. NRA memberships have been on the rise as well.
NRA (National Rifle Association) memberships have skyrocketed in recent weeks since the mainstream media has been ramping up their anti-gun agenda. As the media continues to weaponize the news in the form of gun control propaganda, the NRA’s profiting continues to go up. –
There’s nothing like a little scapegoating when it comes to placing the blame for mass shootings. It seems like the blame falls always on the NRA and law-abiding gun owners, not the psychopaths who shoot up schools. And that’s exactly why NRA memberships and donations are skyrocketing.
