Revoke the National Rifle Association's 501(c)(4) status since it does not promote "social welfare" as required by law.

The National Rifle Association has been granted 501(c)(4) status by the Internal Revenue Service. According to the IRS, to be tax-exempt as a 501(c)(4) organization, a nonprofit must not be organized for profit and must be operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare. This means that the organization must operate primarily to further, in some way, the common good and general welfare of the people of the community (such as by bringing about civic betterment and social improvements). By any measurement, the NRA does not meet this standard and should have its status revoked or revised.
