Any reasons why charitable donations to RMEF, BHA, etc would not be tax deductible?
Donations to RMEF: tax deductible?

Not as long as you received no goods or services in exchange for your gift.
Edit: I have had business accountants call up and ask for a "donation receipt for Mr. Johnson's donation of $500 on March X of this year," and I had to explain that Mr. Johnson purchased raffle tickets and that's not the way it works.

What you can do, is if you buy a fancy RMEF gun for, say, $3500, and the base model is $1500, you can deduct $2000, or so says my accountant and he is very conservative.
Accountants, chime in if you disagree.

So you can't claim donations to goodwill if you don't get anything in return?
You said "any reason why they wouldn't be deductible." I said no, there is no reason unless you receive goods or services in return.

O ok. I guess I misread you my apologies
No need to apologize. My writing is usually full of double negatives and crap like that. You could also just go by my motto: "When in doubt, deduct."

If you don't itemize it doesn't matter anyways.
