PART I-A, LINE 1:	SUPPORT FOR FUNDRAISING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES OF A SEPARATE SEGREGATED FUND IS INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE NRA, AS ALLOWED BY LAW. IN 2018, THE NRA PAID $4,319,459 FUNDRAISING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES FOR THE SEPARATE SEGREGATED FUND, NRA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND, AS ALLOWED BY LAW. THE NRA ENGAGED IN ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF ITS MISSION, WHICH INCLUDES PROTECTING AND DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, ESPECIALLY WITH REFERENCE TO THE INALIENABLE RIGHT OF INDIVIDUAL AMERICAN CITIZEN GUARANTEED BY SUCH CONSTITUTION TO ACQUIRE, POSSESS, COLLECT, EXHIBIT, TRANSPORT, CARRY, TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF, AND ENJOY THE RIGHT TO USE ARMS, IN ORDER THAT THE PEOPLE MAY ALWAYS BE IN A POSITION TO EXERCISE THEIR LEGITIMATE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF SELF PRESERVATION AND DEFENSE OF FAMILY, PERSON, AND PROPERTY. IN PURSUIT OF THESE GOALS OF THE ASSOCIATION, THE NRA SPENT FUNDS DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY ON POLITICAL ACTIVITIES, WHICH WERE NOT THE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE NRA IS ORGANIZED PRIMARILY TO PROMOTE SOCIAL WELFARE AND CAN ALSO ENGAGE IN POLITICAL ACTIVITIES ON BEHALF OF OR IN OPPOSITION TO CANDIDATES FOR POLITICAL OFFICE, AS ALLOWED BY LAW. BY ANY MEASURE, THE PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS SPENT BY THE NRA ON POLITICAL ACTIVATES IS MODEST IN COMPARISON TO THE BUDGET DEVOTED TO THE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES OF THE NRA. FOR INSTANCE, ALL EXPENDITURES NOTED ON PART I-A AND I-C OF SCHEDULE C AMOUNTED TO ABOUT 1% OF THE NRA'S TOTAL EXPENSES IN 2018, AS APPLIED TO TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25. REPORTERS AND OTHER READERS ARE ALSO KINDLY REMINDED THAT THE SEPARATE SEGREGATED FUND IS A SEPARATE ENTITY FOR TAX PURPOSES.
PART I-C LINE 4	THIS INFORMATION NOTE REGARDS THE NRA'S TAXES. THE NRA SEPARATELY FILES FORM 1120-POL, WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT TAXES PAID WITH THE NRA'S FORMS 1120-POL IS SHARED HERE ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS AS A SERVICE TO READERS AND TO DEMONSTRATE IN GOOD FAITH THAT THE ORGANIZATION IS A TAXPAYER IN GOOD STANDING. 527(F) PROXY TAX IS PAID ON THE LESSER OF NET INVESTMENT INCOME OR CERTAIN POLITICAL EXPENDITURES AS DEFINED BY THE FEDERAL TAX CODE, SUCH AS WHEN CERTAIN POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS EXPRESSLY ADVOCATE THE ELECTION OR DEFEAT OF A CANDIDATE AND ARE MADE BY THE NRA ITSELF RATHER THAN BY THE NRA'S SEPARATE SEGREGATED FUND.
