The president isn't going after people like Osama bin Laden because he is an Islamic fundamentalist, or even because he hates the US. We go after OBL because he plans massive terrorist attacks against the US. The NRA is not a terrorist organization. It operates non violently and within the law. I ask again does the 1st amendment only apply to people that agree with you?

The president is going after people who have threaten our existence. The NRA's agenda threatens our existence as well.

I have disagreed with you a number of times in the past but I don't think that I have ever found some of your ideas to be scary, but the idea of treating the NRA like a terrorist organization is scary.

Bingo.......as scary and as radical as my position seems to you, that's my reaction to the NRA's position. Its beyond my ken to understand the paradigm of an organization that encourages the ownership and wielding of weapons of mass destruction particularly in a country where we have a significant problem in this arena. I can't fathom how educated, concerned citizenry can participate in an org. that encourages the use of something that kills nearly 30 thousand of its citizens each year. Its like setting up an organization to promote smoking....which I think did exist in the 50's.
