A few weeks ago, the bill seemed dead, but Democrats brought it back after striking a deal Monday that would exempt the powerful National Rifle Association from the requirements of the bill in exchange for their neutrality. A vote was anticipated for last week as well, but Congress went home early for the weekend after a scheduling change. The NRA deal since modified to cover organizations such as the Sierra Club exempts 501(c)4 groups from having to report their donors if they have at least 500,000 members, over 10 years of existence, chapters in all 50 states, and receive no more than 15 percent of total contributions from corporations. The NRA has over 4 million members; the environmentalist Sierra Club has 750,000 members.If that is not a violation of the 1st and 14th amendments I do not knwo what is. Nice going NRA selling out your allies.

F the NRA.
If they don’t care about the 1st Amendment, I’m not going to fund them anymore on teh 2nd Amendment. Sellouts.

Stunning. I can’t believe the NRA did that. Well, I can, but I don’t want to.
