In the long run, the biggest problem we have in the USA is the huge money involved.
Imagine if the NRA were outlawed to donate money to politicians. Politicians were outlawed to accept donations. What would happen? Now, imagine all individuals, corporations, PACs, ANY entity were prevented from making political donations under penalty of law, and politicians were prevented from accepting donations etc, etc. No PACs. No lobbyists. No political bribery. No buying and selling of our elected officials on the open market. The Trump campaign alone received $30 million just from the NRA.
It would no longer be finacially lucrative for our elected officials to vote no on gun control. On off shore drilling. On Wall Street regulations.On environmental issues.
Each candidate would get an equal allowance of money from the government to spend on their campaign. When the bucks are gone, you are done. No more political fund raisers. Citizens United thrown out the window.
Campaign finance reform.
