My late night train of thought was aimed at disbanding them by slowly stripping away protections they might have as a religious organization. If they could be labelled a hate group or gang, and then maybe they could be legally dealt with differently. My train is probably on the wrong track.
Trying to remember how we Oregonians finally got rid of that Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh ashram back in the 80's.
