I wish we would go after the local officials responsible, and drive them into personal bankruptcy and get them jailed for civil rights violations. The NRA or GOA should announce a special, particularly aggressive legal defense fund for that purpose. Fines paid out of taxpayers’ money are not enough to dissuade the left-wing fascists.
