It serves no legitimate or good purpose. Raze it to the ground. If people "need" a gun group, then create a group whose sole purpose is to foster responsible gun ownership with strict laws to back up that ownership.

1. I agree, but what kind of plan do you have to actually make it happen?

12. I have no power. I am a Democrat in Texas.

But if enough people decided they will not vote for NRA supported candidates, we would come a long way toward defanging this monster organization.

2. If the stories about them funneling Russian money are true

they are the agents of a hostile foreign power. Traitors.

NRA is a terrorist organization that seeks to arm people who kill citizens.

8. Thanks.

Fixed it.

4. Private money needs to be banned from political campaigns.

Allowing the wealthy to buy outsize political influence kills democracy.

5. Bingo!

6. The NRA, the Federalist Society and GOP all need to be destroyed

To stop authoritarian rule

9. Don't forget the Heritage Foundation - they need to go too!

7. 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 young people are the correct track. We have failed, it is now up to them.

10. How would you legally do any of that?

Got an actual plan or just venting?

11. Thing about the NRA is that even members disagree with lots of things they do or say...

...but if it weren't for the NRA they wouldn't have access to some of the guns their currently own or want to own.

And that is the dilemma for many gun owners.

Otherwise they are just another single-issue political group, but one with a lot of money behind them and the power to mobilize voters in Republican primaries.

Even if you got money out of politics, the NRA could still control congress through primary votes.
