I expect it has a lot of entries for “Entertainment” which amount to strip clubs, gifts to Mariia Buttina and “Legal Fees” relating to restraining orders by Dana Loesch.

The NRA transitioned long ago from an informational and service and advocacy organization that had did a little bit of politics on the side to being a partisain political and grifting organization with a tiny sideline in firearms insurance and training. At some level, it’s a free country and all, but there is no reasonable way that should be tax exempt. THAT is one of the things that galls me about the most about GOP politics, the way that they have abused tax laws to make their political contributions BOTH secret and tax exempt.

You mean owning a gun isn’t the only protection you’ll ever need? You have to ::gasp:: rely on the government for tax-funded assistance?

In the US, churches and are generally exempt from income tax. Is gun-owning not a religion in the US? Well, well, the more you know, etc…

Dana may be a shill for ammosexual sociopaths, but she is no dummy.

I really wish that Jim and Sarah Brady were still with us to soak up all this sweetness.

As a life member (purchased by my Dad in the early 80s, with good intent) I say burn it down. It served its purpose and then used that purpose to serve itself.

good - time to dismantle them, and then put some reasonable gun control in place like the rest of the civilized world.

Who needs statehood when you have an attorney general like That Guy?
I have to say, as an old gen-Xer, I never expected to hear that the NRA was deeply compromised by Russian operatives. That really sounds like something from the old Steve Jackson “Illuminati” game.
It’s like the Boy Sprouts using Orbital Mind Control Lasers for their Bavarian Illuminati masters.
What a time to be alive!

Holy shit, you’re right. I still have all my cards… somewhere.
Well then, ending tax exemption for churches should be on the agenda as well.

Governator Reagan signed a tight gun control law after Black Panthers lounged on the California capitol steps with shotguns. Gunz-R-4-Whites, y’know. Reagan knew his base, too.
Here’s some actual collusion: The NRA solicited and accepted foreign monies for the purpose of being a cut out for said interests by making the political contributions for them so it would look legal.
I’m not sure that that crap isn’t worse than the ads Facebook forces on its suckers.
