Comm2A Receives Tax Exempt Status
Boston, MA, November 8, 2011 – Commonwealth Second Amendment (Comm2A) announced today that it has been granted 501(c)(3) tax exempt status by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS has classified Comm2A as a public charity, meaning that contributions to the organization are tax deductible.
Comm2A was created to promote a better understanding of the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and to defend the civil rights of Massachusetts gun owners. Comm2A’s activities include public and legal education as well as legal action projects.
Brent Carlton, President and co-founder of Comm2A, said: “The granting of public charity status by the IRS represents an important milestone in the development of Comm2A and will allow us to devote significantly more resources towards supporting our mission. Reforming the laws, customs and practices relative to firearms ownership and regulation is a long term endeavor. Receiving 501(c)(3) status is critical for our on-going efforts as it greatly expand the opportunities for others to contribute to our work.
