Which raises the question, what does the NRA consider 'charitable' works?

Teaching people with disabilities to use weapons and demonstrating the 'artistic' nature of firearms, accoding to the website.

I would hope there’s a big educational component.

My kids’ Boy Scout troop had someone take them to a shooting range every year. They had safety and handling lessons, as well as range masters for archery, 22’s, and their “collection”. I have to admit it was fun and I’m happy my kids had the safety lessons but I hope to hell that they never decide to own

the NRA used to be a non profit focused on teaching gun safety and marksmanship.

then came the 80s.

I mean our achery club is a bona fide charity, it's not that different. USA Archery, that we depend from and all our instructors are certified by, and is the one managing the olympic teams, is as well. (source, page 1)
