re: #295 dangerman

Well, as far as the average member of the NRA goes, I imagine that’s no different than the average member of any other large not-for-profit. If there is embezzlement and self-dealing going on, the average member might not be able to notice that.

I imagine the NRA’s financial statements are pretty complicated, as they are such a large organisation and most people don’t even bother with the financial statement of the local food bank.

They just look at the stated mission of the group, see the outward signs the group is doing what they think it should, and trust them to do the right thing with their money.
