San Francisco Labels NRA a ‘Domestic Terrorism Organization’
National Review ^ | 9/4/2019 | Jack Crowe

Posted on 09/04/2019 10:41:56 AM PDT by cowpoke

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution on Tuesday declaring the National Rifle Association a “domestic terrorism organization” due to its opposition to more stringent gun-control legislation. The resolution accuses the NRA of not only resisting legislative reforms that its drafters believe would help curtail the country’s “epidemic of gun violence,” but also of “incit[ing] gun owners to acts of violence.” “All countries have violent and hateful people, but only in America do we give them ready access to assault weapons and large-capacity magazines thanks, in large part, to the National Rifle Association’s influence,” the resolution says. The resolution also declares the Board’s intent to “limit those entities who do business with the City and County of San Francisco from doing business with this domestic terrorist organization.” It was drafted following a shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival last month that resulted in the deaths of three people, according to local Fox affiliate KTVU. The NRA responded to the provocation by accusing the Board of seeking to distract from the city’s shortcomings. “This ludicrous stunt by the Board of Supervisors is an effort to distract from the real problems facing San Francisco, such as rampant homelessness, drug abuse and skyrocketing petty crime, to name a few,” the statement said, according to KTVU. “The NRA will continue working to protect the constitutional rights of all freedom-loving Americans.”...MORE

One is not an attorney, but one does suspect that both libel and slander defamations occurred and are continuing as a result of the resolution passed by the SF Bd of Supes.

Might we responsible and law abiding members of the NRA now be members of a liblely damaged class?

They’ll probably declare their own city police department as a terrorist organization in the near future.

Maybe pass a resolution stating that San Francisco is not part of the United States.

San Fran-Colera needs to clean up their own mess....instead of fixing it with an app. NRA teaches gun safety. They should go on the attack and advertise that you are times more likely to be attacked and murdered by an illegal in San Fran then shot by and NRA member!

Completely understandable, but a very sad situation in 2019 America. We are heading in a bad direction.

The City of San Francisco and the State of California are Terrorist sponsoring agencies. They not only provide sanctuary for criminal of all stripes they make the citizens of the state and municipality they are in charge of defenseless victims.

This lets them ban city contracts from going to people who are members or supporters of the NRA under laws that prohibit direct and indirect support to terrorist organizations.

We lived in South Lyon for three years and I’d wear one there too. Might catch some a-hole from Northville giving me the stink-eye, but other than that I don’t think it would be an issue. Would not wear it anywhere near the D.
