So the ad agency can be overpaid and spend the surplus on NRA executives’ appearance fees, as the current round of lawsuits is demonstrating.

Much better idea to give away their money to Nigerian princes.

This is what happens when a gun safety group gets co-opted by the ugly step-child of the John Birch Society and Big Tobacco…

Eh, we have a not-entirely-flat income tax with a lot of loopholes.
In NZ, I paid 35% on a mid-career professional’s income. The taxes were taken out of every pay check and bank statement with no need to file a return and I got national healthcare. It was pretty nifty.

People who lay awake at night wondering how they can ‘constitutionally center’ their wills could just leave it all to the ACLU and rest easy.

The NRA operates with at least 6 interconnected organizations making it easy to smooth short term aberrations in revenue and expenses.
Money laundering?
More like good old fashioned kickbacks.

I know. It needs to be much more sharply progressive, with no loopholes. Also, the corporate tax basis should be unadjusted gross revenue, not reported profits.
They want to create a Constitutionally Centered Will? I think this is the link they’re looking for: https://www.aclu.org/legacy/bequests-will
The firearms industry has a huge dilemma. Due to the nature of what they sell, it is imperative that they create a product that will not break down or malfunction over time. In other words, planned obsolescence will literally get someone killed, and so they produce sturdy, hard-to-break products. As a result, once you purchase a hand gun or rifle, it will be the only one you will ever need to buy, as long as you maintain it. Considering this fact in combination with the relatively small number of people that actually want a weapon, the industry realized that it had built planned obsolescence into itself.
The only way around it was to convince people that they needed more weapons than they actually did. For various reasons, the NRA became the industry’s mouthpiece and thus began the fear-mongering, the anti-liberal hatred, the congressional litmus tests, and all the rest. In many ways, the mass shootings of today can be traced back to the gun industry’s will to profit.
