This Gun-Nut has had enough.

29. We also need to come at this problem from another direction as well:

We have to figure out how to yank the teeth out of the NRA. Diminish it and demean it and work on the public mindset to render it MUCH less desirable and less "all-American rah-rah-rah." We have to find AS MANY WAYS AS POSSIBLE to weaken it and its power base, to cost it money, to cost it support, to cost it backing, to cost it influence. I don't know what the answer is - except maybe for forcing them to defend 100 lawsuits a week? We have to start thinking in terms of how we can break its back, its bank account, and it's monstrous influence.

We need to strategize. How do you break the NRA? That should be a serious and vital question on EVERYONE'S minds. For the Love of GOD! It's become an epidemic! At the rate we're going, the next gun-nut nutcase slaughter victim might be YOU!!!

We need to bring to this - the same mindset that has attacked organized labor - denying it public support, starving it financially, demeaning and dirtying its name and reputation, WHATEVER IT TAKES. The kind of campaign that's left organized labor and entities like teacher unions and public employee unions that protect firefighters' and police officers' interests in the work place. This relentless campaign to gut organized labor worked beautifully.

WHY CAN'T WE LAUNCH A SIMILAR CAMPAIGN - against the NRA?????

We can't work on this issue one-dimensionally. We can't ONLY work on changing and toughening up the laws. We can't ONLY work on electing pro-gun restriction legislators. We can't just do that. We have to think far more broadly across the political landscape. Go at this from many directions and with many strategies. What brought ACORN down? WHY CAN'T WE DO STUFF LIKE THAT??????? I think we need to start thinking along those lines. As long as the NRA stays almost unassailable, we are doomed to lose this argument. The NRA needs to have its teeth and claws - and its mighty funding - REMOVED.
