[QUOTE="Stephen Cue, post: 2594707, member: 3008"] I used to think this too, until I found out that the NRA is not a lobby. Yes, that is correct. The NRA is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization. With that, it is illegal for them to contribute any money to politics. Every cent that goes to the NRA from memberships, trainer fees, and contributions goes into education, training, and the infrastructure that supports those two things. Non-profits are highly scrutinized tax shelters, especially the NRA. Another thing about the NRA that is also a misnomer is that they are a huge organization, its actually not. There are not near as many people that work for the NRA as people are led to believe. For example, Even though I am an NRA Training Counselor, I don't work for the NRA, I conduct NRA certified courses for [URL="http://www.oksportshooting.com"]Oklahoma Sport Shooting[/URL] The real power lies with its membership numbers. If you would like to be a part of the gun lobby and want your money to go to firearm politics, that's the ILA. Its the NRA's separate entity, Institute for Legislative Action. Now that $$$ goes to politics. [/QUOTE]
