That’s pretty much how I see it. Lobbying groups are notoriously hard to dislodge, but I think some people are likely to get spanked. Dissolution of the NRA is probably a bargaining chip more than an actual goal.

Well, they might get dissolved in NY state. Not changing their state registry as a "charity" was probably a mistake on their part.

Trying to stop lobbyists is like trying to bottle greed. If u want to deter something make it 100% legal, transparent and tax it or make it illegal and do constant stings and taps when it gets out of hand like they do with johns and prostitutes.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Except that the chump is sucking the NRA's rifle barrels. Obama was all over reducing the possession of firearms and got zit point shit done about it in 8 years. In the meantime, a lot of gun people were buying up ammunition in an expectation of no longer being able to purchase it. I only "kill" paper, as mentioned above. I was unable to purchase ammunition for a couple of years because I didn't get to the store in time. People are fucking stupid, bottom line. BTW, I didn't suffer mentally because I couldn't buy ammunition. I have way more activities on my plate. Tongue

Sure he's talking, but what happens on his watch is his doing.  I'm a results guy, not a word counter.  Also, irony.
