Third, the NRA has averaged, (from 1998 to 2018),
Average: 2.3 mil,
Gee compare that with the LOWEST above of 7.4 Mil !

“…"The National Rifle Association does not have Republican ‘balls in a money clip,’ as (late-night TV host) Jimmy Kimmel put it the other night," Stephens wrote. "The NRA has donated a paltry $3,533,294 to all current members of Congress since 1998, according to The Washington Post, equivalent to about three months of Kimmel’s salary. The NRA doesn’t need to buy influence: It’s powerful because it’s popular."
Just a notation, Jimmy Kimmel can LIE, all he wants.
Well, kinna like the he/she called tt.
