Can we now treat the NRA like they treated ACORN?

I would suggest the NRA with it's dubious ties to Russia and in particular one indicted Russian national - that they are a risk to the US.

We need to cut off any federal funding if there is any, and put restrictions on their organization that fall within the law.

(First post in many many years).

But maybe someone could do some "sting" videos on the NRA.

Given the number of members, it shouldn't be that hard to find a few to setup.
