So would anyone want to deprive that organization of its constitutional rights? People who disagree with the NRA can also petition the government for what they want. That's democracy in action in our country.Wyrd of Gawd Wrote:You do realize that a majority of the States have the right to bear arms in their Constitutions. That's not dependent upon the NRA.
You do realize that not everything the NRA does is mandated by the right to bear arms? Buying politicians to the point that the CDC can't even study gun violence, for instance.

Well, if not everything is dependent on the NRA I guess no one can reasonably object to what it does do, eh?
Do you want to limit guns? There is already all kinds of laws on the books that do that.
Do you want to eliminate guns? You will have to change the Federal Constitution as well as most of the State Constitutions. While it's possible to do that it's highly unlikely to happen because even people who aren't one of the 5 million or so NRA members aren't inclined to give up their guns.
