If this is to be believed, the NRA is paying over $40 Million per year to _one_ public relations company - while playing a shell-game to disguise the true magnitude of the amount being spent there.
Stop and think about that for a minute; then consider the following:
...several NRA officials have conflicts of interest with that outside firm (read: have compromising arrangements with them, and have the authority to steer more money that way), to the extent that it possibly exposes NRA to the loss of its non-profit status (ie, the officers are actually operating what could amount to a for-profit corporation, as a result of the above arrangements and the role of the compromised individuals in it).
If you're in the camp who thinks the NRA is effective - so therefore, meh - what would happen to that effectiveness if NRA lost their nonprofit status?
I mean, it isn't like there aren't people out there gunning for them. And in a world with secret FISA warrants, and efforts being made to create a "Russia connection" to the NRA, two years and a change in the name on the White House door could make a big difference.

I try to support as much as I can, with who I can. I just want to know what little money I can send their way is getting put to good use.
You have gone hook line and sinker with our enemies and you do not even realize it. Do you really believe that the anti-gun crowd wants the NRA to become a lean effective organization? You have to be either complicit or useful to fall in line with them.
