Their greed and selfishness are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans and the statistics would no doubt show that the NRA's policies have killed more American children than all of the other known terrorist organizations combined.

Directly responsible? Certainly not by any legal standard, and arguably not by any ethical/moral standard. Spare us the outrage. There is no argument for outlawing the NRA that doesn't fly squarely in the face of the First Amendment.
