The NRA is America's oldest Civil Rights Organization. The Left hates civil rights because they desire tyranny and imagine they would be in control of it.
I support a consumption tax for everyone, effectively ending non-profit/tax-exempt status completely.

Fireams Policy Coallition reported,
"The Pennsylvania State Supreme Court issued a significant 53-page majority opinion in the criminal appeal of Commonwealth v. Hicks. Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and Firearms Policy Foundation (FPF) filed an important coalition amicus brief cited by the Court supporting Hicks in December of 2017, alongside Firearms Owners Against Crime (FOAC) and seven Members of Pennsylvania’s General Assembly. The Court’s decision, concurring opinions, and the FPC/FPF amicus brief can be viewed at

"At issue was whether someone’s carrying of a firearm could be used as reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct, and thus justification for police to conduct a stop-and-frisk of the gun owner. The court ruled in Hicks that such searches and seizures, in the absence of other evidence are completely unlawful."
The appellant is Michael J. Hicks, who had a concealed gun permit, who was caught on a surveillance camera showing off his gun in June 2014. Officers stopped and frisked him.
The Morning Call reported,
"after officers smelled alcoholic beverages on Hicks’ breath, he was charged with drunken driving, among other misdemeanor offenses.
"Hicks, then 35 and living in Allentown, asked a Lehigh County judge to throw out the charges on grounds that the stop was illegal, but the judge found his arrest was justified. He was convicted of driving under the influence of a high rate of alcohol for a second offense and sentenced to 30 days to six months in jail."
Such a conviction would cost him his concealed gun permit. Justice was done. It took five years.
