Is the National Rifle Association too big to fall?

NRA is not too big to fail SSG Warren Swan. It is made up of people from many different backgrounds as far as its supporters are concerned. If it failed another organization would quickly take its place.
I am neither a member of the NRA nor a gun owner at the present time. While I don't agree with all of the viewpoints expressed by the NRA, I concur with their views of responsible gun ownership and the second amendment to the US Constitution.

Hopefully Not. I hope Americans get Angry Enough about Dead Children to do something.

It's not the NRA fault that there are people trying to get ride of them and trying to control guns. But the truth is the only one you will hurt with gun control are the honest and upstanding people. The people who hurt or just gun lovers. No matter how hard they try there will be guns out there for sale that the criminals and low life's will get there hands on.

They will break into houses and steal them they will find a way to get them in from Mexico or other country. I sorry for all the Innocent lives that have been lost to street gangs and just people not using common sense.

I like my guns and I love to hunt, but I will not kill something that I will not eat. I do not believe in just shooting animals just to kill them. I could go on forever but I will end here.

The Federal government isn't too big to fail, as our mounting debts will make plain over the coming decades. However, I don't think the NRA will be failing anytime soon; there still aren't enough people in this nation dumbed down enough to not know the dictionary definition of the word 'criminal.'

NRA-backed Indiana law spells out when it's OK to shoot police

“The NRA, a membership group that says it's widely recognized as a "major political force" and as the country's "foremost defender" of Second Amendment rights, has worked to spread permissive gun laws around the country. Among them is the Stand Your Ground self-defense measure in Florida, which generated nationwide controversy after the Feb. 26 shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Florida teenager.”

“The measure was approved by the Republican-controlled legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels in March. It amended a 2006 so-called Castle Doctrine bill that allows deadly force to stop illegal entry into a home or car.

The law describes the ability to use force to "protect the person or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force."

Republican State Sen. R. Michael Young, the bill's author, said there haven't been any cases in which suspects have used the law to justify shooting police.”

“He said "public servant" was added to clarify the law after a state Supreme Court ruling last year that "there is no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers." The case was based on a man charged with assaulting an officer during a domestic-violence call.

Young cited a hypothetical situation of a homeowner returning to see an officer raping his daughter or wife. Under the court's ruling, the homeowner could not touch the officer and only file a lawsuit later, he said. Young said he devised the idea for the law after the court ruling.

"There are bad legislators," Young said. "There are bad clergy, bad doctors, bad teachers, and it's these officers that we're concerned about that when they act outside their scope and duty that the individual ought to have a right to protect themselves."

NOPE, no Organization, Group, Corporation, Business etc. is too big to Fall. Especially if they become Inflexible and Stiff-necked and can't see beyond their noses.

The NRA is nothing but a large special interest lobbying group that owns politicians. They own Republicans and Democrats. People want to stop the lobbying efforts of big oil and big pharmacy but let the NRA run amok and take down anyone who wants to make any significant changes. Wouldn't it be nice if lobbyists were prevented from giving millions of dollars to and owning politicians?

The next Presidential election will answer that question. As a benefactor member of the NRA, Former MP, Former Civilian Police Officer, former Probation Officer , Member of the American Pistolsmiths guild. Long Range (2500+ meters) instructor And all around opinionated old dude. The chance always exist that any organization can fail. But I'd say it's a pretty slim chance.

lol there is a big different with "NRA', there is a huge number of guns club out there. for a long time they all fight each other for membership. NRA is just the big fish. But lately ... they are coming together on this assault on the 2nd Amendment, and it is not always about money for them. So money can't drown them.

Second, the bills of right mention this rights, Smoking? nope. For real, NRA will never go down as long as there is a 2nd Amendment. So admen the 2nd ... maybe then NRA will be gone. If you can attack NRA without attacking the 2nd Amendment, then NRA can be destroy. If money is the issue, the uber rich liberal can and already bought NRA over.

Since Cpt. Servicemeber lacks the testicular fortitude to allow me respond to his posts directly, I'll do so on the general thread. I find this especially disappointing given that he named me specifically in his comment, then blocked my ability to address it rather like a spoilt child who takes his ball and goes home when the score doesn't go his way.

CPT SERVICEMEMBER, you called these shootings preventable; how were they? The majority of these mass shooters either had no record of felony conviction etc. that would've barred them from buying guns legally or got their guns illegally. As for securing guns, how would you propose to enforce such a measure?
