NRA says it's aware of 'significant diversion of its assets' in tax filing.

Short answer, they were looting the organization.

Yea, that is such an admission considering the flooded market they have protected for 40 years.

IRS needs to review and possibly yank thier tax-exempt status. I say this as a former life member. They've been corrupt for decades.

What sort of checks and balances could be instituted in the NRA to prevent future corruption?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I m not surprised. Been hearing for years (from news sources) that some NRA members have been feeling distanced from the organization's leadership.
