55. There are dozens of gun rights groups independent of the NRA now

You could definitely bring down the NRA based on the evidence we have against them for dirty money, and New York is already doing that. But they aren't operating on a terrorism claim, and for good reason. That takes substantial effort in DC to achieve, and they'd never be able to make their case without an act of Congress.

And, if you do not have the same evidence against other gun rights groups, you can't simply shut them down because they look similar in their goals and beliefs. That's why I mentioned the GOA; they're the competitor and likely successor of the NRA, growing rapidly and filing court challenges now. Unless you plan on prosecuting the millions of existing NRA members who aren't in the upper echelon of the group now, they'd be free to start a new gun rights group or move to a different one, as is their right under the 1st Amendment. So yes, a group CAN reconstitute itself if the members doing so were never charged with any crimes.
