NRA is in deep financial trouble and may soon 'be unable to exist'

Except you're BULGARIAN.

 

I had heard that the Russian aim was to divide America

I also heard that the NRA was laundering Russian money

 

Can't handle the truth can you?

 

Can't figure out the truth can you?

 

What you heard is incorrect and that has been proven.

 

I sure do, and what Loesch pointed out in that clip is quite truthful and obvious to anyone who doesn't have their head shoved into the dirt, or up somewhere else.

 

Don't matter. My money don't stink. I have dollars and I donate some. Makes me your enemy kind of. Enemy to your cause.

 

Anyone with the slightest understanding of divisive propaganda would know that was what the NRA put out in that clip.

 

Then again, maybe it does.

 

As propaganda it is about as subtle as "Tokyo Rose"

 

I saw an even worse one yesterday.

 

You're actually right. My money stink like...freedom.

 

The right wing only seems to care for fetuses in the womb not babies or children.

Not a problem with the turning our schools and music concerts into shooting galleries.

Now if abortions was done with firearms they also would be all for abortions.

 

I know.

 

Sorry every time I see this image it reminds me of this


We don't need guns to defend the country these sods bring down industrial drones

 

This is what is known as BS, propaganda from the left for the left.

The NRA tax filings are not secret, the 990 filing can be viewed on-line.

Furthermore the ILA / NRA-PVF is a for profit and their filings are available to the public by request.

Quoting the 2016 990.

"The NRA engaged in activities in support of its mission, which includes protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States, especially with reference to the inalienable right of the individual American citizen guaranteed by such Constitution to acquire, possess, collect, exhibit, transport, carry, transfer ownership of, and enjoy the right to use arms, in order that the people may always be in a position to exercise their legitimate individual rights of self preservation and defense of family, person, and property. In pursuit of the goals of the association, the NRA spent funds directly and indirectly on political activities, which were not the primary activities of the organization. In 2016, the NRA paid 5,456,095 fundraising and administrative expenses for the separate segregated fund, NRA Political Victory Fund, as allowed by law. Such expenses included fundraising postage and fundraising labor as well as other costs such as lockbox fees, as allowed by law. Support for fundraising and administrative expenses of a separate segregated fund is industry standard for nonprofit organizations like the NRA, as allowed by law. The NRA is organized primarily to promote social welfare and can also engage in political activities on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for political office, as allowed by law. By any measure, the percentage of funds spent by the NRA on political activities is modest in comparison to the budget devoted to the primary activities of the NRA. For instance, all expenditures noted on Parts I-A and I-C of Schedule C amounted to less than 10% of the NRAs total expenses in 2016, as applied to total expenses reported on Form 990, Part IX, line 25. Reporters and other readers are also politely reminded that the NRAs Form 990 reports only on the NRA itself and not on the separate segregated fund. The separate segregated fund is a separate entity for tax purposes. The NRA does not contribute funds from its treasury to this entity nor does the NRA receive contributions from members earmarked for this entity."

 

This is what is known as BS, propaganda from the right for the right.

Nope, that's information is what was filed with the IRS for 2016 on form 990.

Anyone who believes one cannot dig into the filings of a non-profit is either a fool or badly misinformed.

 

Nope. The NRA is a far Right propaganda organization. You've been had.

 

Badly misinformed, but that's believable considering your false sources of information, versus an IRS filing from an federal agency having nothing to do with the NRA.

 

Years ago you were thrown a curveball and struck out. Unfortunately, it may be too late for you to get another at bat.

 

Errr who said they were GIVEN the money in 2016?
