NRA could lose tax-exempt status: report[h=1]NRA could lose tax-exempt status: report[/h]
A report by a collaboration of The Trace and The New Yorker reveals the intricate way in which hundreds of millions of dollars have allegedly been siphoned off to top executives and vendors at the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The story was published on Wednesday and written by reporter Mike Spies, who viewed internal documents and tax filings and found that public relations firm Ackerman McQueen, which helps manage the NRA's image, was paid $40 million in 2017. Ackerman McQueen has worked with the group since the 1970s.
"The NRA and Ackerman McQueen have become so intertwined that it is difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins," Spies wrote.

The NRA is in as much financial difficulty as it has ever been in its history. If they lose their tax-exempt status this is going to put a big dent in their revenues which have been slowly dissolving ever since the Parkland shooting and the admission by the NRA that they took money from Alexander Torshin, the Russian official and Putin ally. As far as I know, the NRA is still under investigation by a joint House-Senate investigation for campaign finance violations.
The NRA is asking members for more money. Please give to them generously if you're a supporter of gun rights, the NRA top executives and vendors are starving, they need your money.
