Schumer, Wyden request IRS audit of the NRA's tax exemption
The IRS needs to examine whether the National Rifle Association should lose its tax-exempt status, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Finance Committee ranking member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said today.

A recent report by Wyden's committee investigators raised questions about some NRA activities and social welfare requirements for its tax exemption, the senators wrote in a letter to IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. The report alleged some NRA members used a 2015 NRA trip to Moscow for their own personal business reasons rather than for tax-exempt purposes. Misuse of tax-exempt funding for private gain would violate tax laws.

I mean it should be investigated, and revoked..

They have already leaked that the NRA has spent less than 3% of the money they bring in on lobbying/education/court cases.

They have not been "non for profit" for a few decades now...

There are many parts of NRA that are organized as separate corporations - some are tax exempt, some are not.

While we're investigating organizations I was listening to WBEN Friday and they did a nice little explanation how politicians make a meager (by political standards) salary and end up sitting on tens of millions of dollars in no time.
