1. Apparently they are. See the link below:

I had no idea.

4. The NRA is an umbrella organization with several distinct parts

Some of which are tax exempt and others (like their lobbying organization) are not.

5. The NRA is a white wing, gun promoting organization. Those get special privileges

In America. As far as taxes, it's similar to medical societies, non-profit hospitals, NFL, etc. Some activities are taxed, others are not. They do quite well financially.

6. That Did Not Sound Like a Dumb Question At All

In fact, it was a pretty good one.
