Ohhh, boy, I can’t wait to see what happens when NRA leadership and membership carefully read this reports and re-consider their actions in light of these facts. I bet they engage in some real soul-searching on their effect in this country, and decide to make amends in their scorched-earth, absolutist approach to lobbying.
Or…and just bear with me here on this wild possibility…they might just decide to double down on the worst aspects of everything they’ve ever said and done.
Can’t wait to find out!

In a normal place and time, this would be HUGE. Now it’s practically a distraction from the ‘real’ issues.

It wasn’t so long ago that ammosexuals would arrive in shooting topics here parroting NRA talking points and defending it as a grassroots organisation for the Second Amendment. Not so much anymore.

I can only imagine the reaction of some timetraveler from the '60s, say, to that kind of a headline.

That’s what bothers me. But it makes sense – now that Russia’s no longer communist, it’s no longer a threat to wealth. Now it’s fascist, and the rich have all let out a collective sigh of relief. (Pun not intended!)

So what’s the actual process here for the NRA to lose their tax exempt status? Is this something the IRS or Congress does? I keep reading how their status is “at risk”, but nothing seems to be happening beyond that?

The IRS makes that determination. Prepare to be disappointed.
(While employees of the various executive agencies have sometimes exemplified expertise and professionalism, Bill Barr and his ilk have long considered that reputation to conflict with the demands of the president)
