@NRA LaPierre once spent $39,000 of the @NRA's money in one day buying suits at the Zegna store in Beverly Hills https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz — PolitiTweet.org

The @NRA spent less than $20,000 on School Shield in 2021. That's 0.007% of the @NRA's 2021 revenue ($212 million). https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz — PolitiTweet.org

There are some small changes that might constitute a reasonable response to these mass shootings. Like raising the minimum age to buy an AR-15 to 21. But even that appears to be off the table. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
I'm disconcerted by the negotiations on gun safety legislation. The reforms being discussed are so marginal it seems unlikely that they would have any tangible impacts on mass shootings or gun violence in general. https://t.co/BUrWLnAXV7 — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: On Feb 8, https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ reported that the @RepublicanAGs accepted an illegal 50K contribution from Children's Health Defense, RFK Jr's anti-vax propaganda group. Per a recent IRS filing, the @RepublicanAGs returned the money on Feb 9 https://t.co/ILFmDpcBWC https://t.co/gMwNdiEcgw — PolitiTweet.org

9. Another way to look at this data. The @NRA had $282 million in revenue in 2021. The NRA spent about 0.007% of that revenue on school safety issues https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz — PolitiTweet.org

7. In 2019, the most recent year available, the @NRA Foundation reported NO GRANTS under the School Shield program. The @NRA Foundation did make dozens of grants to schools... for competitive shooting programs https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz — PolitiTweet.org

6. A lawsuit filed by the @NRA's former advertising agency alleged that School Shield was a "shell program" that LaPierre deployed to boost fundraising. The suit claimed the NRA "never had any intention or meaningful ability to execute" the program https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@NRA 5. According to an archive of the School Shield website maintained by https://t.co/7B3r7sqgA8, the program has not accepted new applications for grants since 2019 https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz https://t.co/NU74jVGV9Z — PolitiTweet.org

3. To put that level of spending in perspective, @NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre spent $39,000 of the NRA's money in one day buying suits at Zegna, a Beverly Hills clothing boutique https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz — PolitiTweet.org

@NRA 2. The documents, first reported by @TheReloadSite, reveal that the @NRA planned on spending less than 20K on School Shield in 2021. Yet the @NRA claims the program is a "consistent and accessible source of financial support" to America's schools https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. The @NRA says its School Shield program makes it "America’s Leading Charitable Organization Helping to Protect Our Children." According to internal financial documents, @NRA spent just $13,900 on the program in the first 8 months of 2021 🧵 https://t.co/fWfwVkcjAz https://t.co/bWrFO6dB4U — PolitiTweet.org
