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.
