Of all the reasons to have opposed NRA Director Dennis Fusaro’s get out the vote plan for the Virginia state elections being held on Tuesday, I didn’t think a misunderstanding of IRS tax code would be one of them, especially when the plan, shown at the bottom of the article explains how it’s legal.
At NRA IN DANGER a reader in the comments section, who says I have worked with c3s for over 30 years and know what can and cannot be done took exception to my comment. (Yes I know, scroll down to the comments section).
Here, I quote from the IRS’s own website,
Certain activities or expenditures may not be prohibited depending on the facts and circumstances. For example, certain voter education activities (including presenting public forums and publishing voter education guides) conducted in a non-partisan manner do not constitute prohibited political campaign activity. In addition, other activities intended to encourage people to participate in the electoral process, such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, would not be prohibited political campaign activity if conducted in a non-partisan manner.
No one can oppose Fusaro’s plan on tax code grounds.
But it doesn’t matter now. As usual NRA and 2A supporters shoot themselves in the foot every time, while the proponents of a government monopoly on violence keep marching on.
And on a related note, have you ever looked at the NRA Foundation’s website? Remember, NRA (NY) and NRA Foundation (DC) are legally separate entities,
Puzzling isn’t it?
Equip, train, pray and never disarm.
