In reply to the discussion: NRA Vows To Stop Tucson From Destroying Guns [View all]gejohnston

so he says.
So were you OK with the Des Moines Register Columnist Donald Kaul who advocated violence?
Repeal the Second Amendment, the part about guns anyway. Its badly written, confusing and more trouble than its worth. It offers an absolute right to gun ownership, but it puts it in the context of the need for a well-regulated militia. We dont make our militia bring their own guns to battles. And surely the Founders couldnt have envisioned weapons like those used in the Newtown shooting when they guaranteed gun rights. Owning a gun should be a privilege, not a right.
Declare the NRA a terrorist organization and make membership illegal. Hey! We did it to the Communist Party, and the NRA has led to the deaths of more of us than American Commies ever did. (I would also raze the organizations headquarters, clear the rubble and salt the earth, but thats optional.) Make ownership of unlicensed assault rifles a felony. If some people refused to give up their guns, that prying the guns from their cold, dead hands thing works for me.

First off, the Communist Party of the USA is not a terrorist organization. Second, he is advocating violence, which the phone call did not.
and believing a politician. A couple of failures there.
