As to what they do with their money, I was an NRA member for years. I never saw a complete accounting. I think they may have spent some of it on a headquarters and museum and give some to political campaigns. The NVA takes in a lot of money. I'm still receiving around a letter a month asking for more donations for special alerts.
The new building is good business sense. They rented out the additional space and it has already paid for itself.
I was curious about their budget so I wrote them a letter. I received an information packet explaining where their money goes. I doubt they do that for nonmembers.
Forbes listed the NRA as one of the top lobbying groups.

The NRA is number one. Where’s the GOA? Behind a RR association?
