New York Daily News: State Dept Must Designate the NRA a Terrorist Organization
Big Government ^ | 10/4/15 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/04/2015 5:18:45 PM PDT by markomalley

On October 3–two days after a gunman killed 10 at the gun free facilities on the Umpqua Community College campus–the New York Daily News called for the U.S. State Department to designate the National Rifle Association (NRA) a “terrorist organization.”

They based this request on their belief that national security faces a greater threat from armed citizens than from “foreign terrorists,” and they singled out the NRA as the bulwark preserving citizens’ right to keep and bear arms. They suggested, “The NRA should take its rightful place on the State Department list of terrorist organizations, because its influence is more of an immediate threat to the lives of our citizens than foreign terrorists.”

To be on the State Department’s list of designated terror organizations a group has to be state-sponsored for terrorism–which the NRA is not. Moreover, they do not exist for terrorist reasons. Rather, they exist to defend the civil liberties protected by the Second Amendment. Undaunted by these things, the NYDN simply declares the NRA a “terrorist group” and suggests it falls under the State Department’s purview by being “nearly-state sponsored.”

The NYDN added, “Although the NRA is not an officially state-sponsored organization it is the supporter of the state with its massive member and lobbyist donations to our elected officials.”

Planned Parenthood has killed more people then all terrorist groups combined.

Should not CAIR first take its rightful place on the State Department list of terrorist organizations because it already has been designated so?

Unsupported assertion that the influence of NRA is a threat has no substance in logic or in fact.

Anyone standing up for the Bill of Rights is a rebel these days.

13,000 Americans die from HIV every year.

By encouraging, rather than outlawing sodomy, the Obama Administration is a terrorist organization.

(Little wonder how the Daily News loses $30 million annually.)

Did the NRA sell guns to Mexican drug cartels or something?

What we COULD do is put out the word to Obama's mob of frenzied Christian-killers that the entire staff of The New York Daily News are Christians.

That would solve the problem nicely, I think...

Free Republic: State Dept Must Designate the White House a Terrorist Organization

After Barack Obama's declaration of a War On Christians from the White House podium, and one of his crazed killer minions responding to Obama's call in Oregon, I think it's clear that the White House must be declared a terrorist organization.

A generation or so ago The New York Daily News was staunchly blue collar/working man/middle class/patriotic/anti-commie/America Love It Or Leave It tabloid.

Now it looks like they have gone over to the limp-wristed/Euro-Pussy crowd.
