It's time to BAN the NRA.

[berni_mccoy]

The NRA is nothing more than a criminal organization.

It’s time to dismantle it and make any pro-gun organization unable to donate money to politicians.

not hard to see the repukes drawing up their own list of organizations to ban. Planned Parenthood for starters.

[Hortensis]

18. No kidding! This is still America, not Der Neu Vaterland.

Planned Parenthood's a perfect example.

Just sticking with the slimy NRA, though, it's a private organization that citizens choose to join of their own free will. If as an organization it's found guilty of sedition or officials are found found guilty of individual crimes, then they can be prosecuted.

3. NO. But treat them like the KKK.

4. No way to do so, I'm sure you know, berni.

5. Label them a terrorist organization

[hack89]

7. And render the word "terrorist" meaningless.

you know what you want is impossible.

8. Thanks, hack.

6. Ban them and some other gun group will gain 5 million members

The NRA's power is it's large vocal member base. They won't change their mind if the NRA vanishes. They'd just be spurred to greater action as banning the NRA would just feed into their paranoia

[mountain grammy]

9. I couldn't agree more.

[aikoaiko]

10. Do you really think that would change anything g.

There are plenty of second tier gun rights orgs that will fill the void and take the money of the manufacturers, wealthy donars, and five million members.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

11. This again.

12. Gunfuckers still gonna spray bullets.

13. I would like to see ALL political donations done

anonymously. I think that would clear up problems across the board. Then companies may not want to donate at all if they can't get personal favors. This may decrease donations and stop some people from running, but then we would end up with congress and state houses full of folks who want to do it for the JOB and not those perks.

I can dream.

14. That damn 1st Amendment

and its freedom of speech and freedom of association. We don't need such relics in the modern age.

[Jose Garcia]

15. So. You want the government to have the power to ban organizations which

promote unpopular ideas?

[Dr. Strange]

19. Of course not, don't be ridiculous.

We just want to ban organizations that promote ideas we disagree with.

What could possibly go wrong with that?

[MicaelS]

16. So you kill one organization, another will rise to take it's place.

Probably The Second Amendment Foundation. The Gun Culture in this country is hydra-headed. You would have to Repeal the Second Amendment, and then the same states who support Gun Ownership will still have guns in their states.

The NRA is on the run, and gun control is now at the forefront of politics, and hopefully we will see some serious gun control after the midterms.

The young people are the correct track. We have failed, it is now up to them. They WILL outlive us.
