You keep focusing on orginizations like the NRA, thus missing the point. Corporations are the problem. Faceless, greed driven "persons" with no interest in the common good, and who are often partially foreign owned. This is the danger, not non-profits orginizations. Can the NRA or Sierra Club spend a billion dollars to elect a President or pack the Senate? How many mega-corps could? How about the King of Saudi Arabia being able to buy an American corporation and funnel billions through it to elect members of Congress? Does that thought still make you all warm and fuzzy about the SCOTUS's ruling?
