CREW filed a second supplement to its original complaint against the National Rifle Association (NRA), in which it showed that the NRA failed to disclose more than $1 million in contributions to major Democratic and Republican leadership groups, bringing their total undisclosed political spending to nearly $60 million since 2008.

Between 2008 and 2014, five 527 political organizations reported receiving more than $1 million from the NRA which the gun advocacy group failed to note. These groups were the Democratic and Republican Governors Associations, the Democratic and Republican Attorneys General Associations and the Republican State Leadership Committee, with the vast majority of the funding going to the Republican organizations. These donations increased as time went on, from nearly $55,000 in 2008 to more than $225,000 in 2014.
