What if the NRA provided a member-funded bounty on the head of Bin Laden? A contribution of $25 per member times 4 million members would equal $100 million dollars.
A condition of the contribution would be that members would be encouraged to first make an equal or greater contribution to a relief fund concerned with aiding the victims of the attack, and perhaps that could also be administrated by the NRA. A pledge to donate blood within one month of this donation might also be a good idea.
The bounty could be paid based on independent or government verification of Bin Laden's identity, dead or alive.
I think some of his "loyal" friends would reevaluate their support of this lunatic, and opt for the cash instead.
This idea would send a poweful message to the U.S. and the world about our absolute lack of tolerance for terrorism and our compassion for the victims. It would demonstrate that gun owners are the good guys, and allow those of us feeling helpless about the situation to do something concrete.
