When churches start paying taxes I'll agree that they are not funded
via tax dollars. Any organization that takes in money and doesn't pay
taxes on that money partially exists on the backs of taxpayers.

You feel the same way about PBS, NAACP, NOW, ... Habitat for Humanity?


NRA?

The NRA is not tax-exempt. It is a dues-paying membership society.
When you pay your dues, you do not get to write them off as charitable
contributions. The NRA also does not take any government (tax) money
AFAIK. IOW, it is a *private* society that started out to promote
marksmanship among citizens and ended up having to also become a
political pressure group in reaction to those who would deny citizens
their right to keep and bear arms ...

(The is the ability to make the NRA the beneficiary of a tax advantaged
trust when you die, but I don't know much about it and I do not believe
it is remarkable in any way.)
