If the allegations against the organization are true, Americans should not be forced to effectively subsidize the NRA.
If you can believe it, when the National Rifle Association was founded as a not-for-profit organization almost 150 years ago, the stated goal of its founder was to “promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis.” While it may have adhered to that mission in the past, today's NRA has strayed far from its founding principles.
For a 501 nonprofit, such blatant self-dealing would constitute more than just bad press. It would be a violation of the state and federal laws that govern tax-exempt organizations. If the allegations are true, American taxpayers should not be forced to effectively subsidize the efforts of the NRA's leadership to bilk their members to enrich themselves.The alleged pattern of self-dealing, deceptive billing and skirting of transparency reaches the highest levels of the NRA.
Former NRA President Oliver North has also allegedly massively benefited from the NRA's relationship with Ackerman McQueen. Days after accepting the uncompensated role of board president at the NRA, he reportedly signed a contract with the firm worth roughly $1 million a year.
