The sole purpose of the NRA is to make it difficult for law enforcement to enforce against gun violence. They block methods of identifying illegal gun dealers. They want to train kids on how to use guns (I thought we were against Sudanese using child soldiers, but apparently American child soldiers is okay).
Maybe they started off with good intents, but now they're just defending a non-existent mission.

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.
If guns are not outlawed, the in-laws will have guns.

I'm conflicted about how I envision the militia system.
On one hand, I'd like to see gun ownership limited to those who belong to a militia.
On the other hand, such a decree would require intrusion by a government body.
On one hand, I'd like to see national service be mandatory. The separation of defense from everyday life has resulted in many moral evils, like a standing army, and police militarization.
On the other hand, I have great moral doubts about forcing people into service, as it reminds me too much of the draft.
On one hand, I'd like to see militias held accountable for the actions of their members, which would give them incentive to institute gun discipline.
On the other hand, this requires the creation of some sort of accredition agency, which would almost certainly be abused by bureaucrats with a different perspective than us.
I think I'll make a thread about this. Let's hash out what such a system would look like.

The topic of discussion is the NRA. Please get back on topic. If you want to talk about the inherent risks or benefits of gun ownership, start a thread about it.
