    I am not sticking up for CMP but since when is a non profit organization not allowed to make money??? If this were true there would be no "non profit organizations"

    Yes you did miss my point and you still do not get the point. You simply do not want to ADMIT the point. Because like all things you do, you cant stand to lose at anything you do. Even when you are wrong.

    Ive taken corporate law, you have not. I know what non profit corporations are supposed to do and what they are not supposed to be doing. CMP and their little escapade crossing over into for profit whatever you wish to call it is getting old. CMP needs to FILE for profit if they continue increasing their prices at this magnitude.

    Youre just a mechanically inclined, works with your hands, IT guy anyway, you have no real academic ability. Why am I arguing with someone like you?

    All M1 Garand rifles coming into the CMP's possession for resale, should be sold only to buyers who have shot an M1 Garand at a registered M1 match once a year. M1 Garand sales to non shooters should cease completely and immediately. If you want to buy M1s, you should be REQUIRED to shoot minimum one formal match per year, every year.

    You know that a 501(C)(3) corporation can make money don't you?

    Your beloved BSA wouldn't sell popcorn for $28/bag if they weren't trying to turn a profit.

    Eric, you are really getting close to crossing the line here. Personal attacks on another BT member just isn't right.
    As far as the CMP goes, I am banned for life as you are. My crime was accusing orest and johnson of feathering their nests by selling me back things that my taxes and my parent's taxes already paid for.
    As far as the cmp being a non-profit I haven't seen any shareholders receiving dividend checks because there aren't any. I have seen the profits spent for the "Cause", even though I think the cause was to build themselves their own personal Disneyland. Bottom line is by definition they are a non-profit.

    Thank you for agreeing with me and for not arguing with me.

    CMP is indeed a non profit corporation that is supposed to be organized for educational purposes only. Their prices should therefore be based on a non profit corporation model, not a pretend non profit corporation model.

    No, 501 (C) (3) corporations cannot make profit type money. They are supposed to be able to make enough revenue to achieve their non profit corporation objectives, usually educational in nature. And also make enough money to break even, pay their employees and thats about it. Anything more and a non profit is crossing the line.

    As far as the BSA being my "beloved" I am no more in the BSA anymore other than in some alumni organizations. And I dont particularly care for the BSA anymore because they caved to the queers in the last two years. First deciding to admit gay boys and lately, deciding to let queer adults be Scoutmasters. I dont agree with that. So BSA is hardly "my beloved."

    And the BSA does not attempt to make profits like the CMP does.
