kingofsurrey Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 San Francisco council calls NRA 'domestic terrorist organisation The San Francisco city government has formally labelled the pro-gun lobbyist National Rifle Association (NRA) a "domestic terrorist organisation". The condemnation of the most powerful gun-ownership advocacy group in the US was unanimously passed on Tuesday by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. It follows a shooting attack against the Gilroy Garlic Festival, south of the city, which killed three in July. Democrats have often blamed the NRA's rhetoric for fuelling mass shootings. The resolution says the US is "plagued by an epidemic of gun violence" and accuses the NRA of using "its considerable wealth and organisation strength to promote gun ownership and incite 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 bill also urges the city and county to reconsider its relationship with companies that do business with the NRA. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49574445 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is more a political lobby than sportsmen's organization. It has spent over $3 million per year since 2013 to keep gun policies in an antiquated state despite the fact that more Americans have died from gun violence (over 1.5 million) than from all the wars since the Revolution, and now want some form of gun control. A sensible reading of the 2nd Amendment would restrict purchase of equipment designed for mass murder: large clips, military grade semi-and fully automatic rifles, and ammunition for the same, which could be as easily tracked as over-the-counter medication. Yet none of it will be regulated while the NRA effectively controls the GOP. While not a branch of government, the NRA has enormous impact on American life by coercing politicians and voters with money and intimidation, and restricting our safety and public health. https://www.change.org/p/declare-nra-a-supporter-of-domestic-terrorism 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NRA exists because american’s want the 2nd amendment, not because they control the government. Just like how planned parenthood exists because people want abortions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Pure ignorance on the part of the SF board, but then I'm not surprised. Does this really score them any political points they didn't already have? I guess whatever they need to distract themselves from their poop issues and real estate price problem, eh? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it time and they'll find a way to blame Trump for their self-inflicted wounds and their inability to keep their own streets clean.

With friends like this, the Democrats don't need enemies! They practically just handed 2020 to Trump.

Captain Canuck #12 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 There is no other country that the US compares more closely to than Canada, in so many ways. But we don't have the NRA or the belief that he have to have it written into our constitution that it is our right to all own guns, and we don't have anywhere near the amount of gun violence that the US has. Why is it so hard for them to understand that if they took the same attitude that we have towards guns, their number of guns deaths would decrease dramatically?

infinitecarnage Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 " Moving from California to Colorado was a great thing for me. I kind of got sick of the Bay Area, the attitudes of the people there, a little bit. They talk about how diverse they are, and things like that, and it's fine if you're diverse like them. There was just a… I don't know… I felt that there was an elitist attitude there — that if you weren't their way politically, their way environmentally, all of that, that you were looked down upon.

Are you seriously comparing the death / violence impacted by the NRA to the Antifa... ? Wow, that is amazing . Do you even follow the mass shooting trend in the USA ?

Yes...because believing a "podcast" that speaks glowingly and severely about the "dark money cabal" and birthing programs of the liberal elite in America is totally worth believing. As for doing what to themselves. I guess you're not on the side that is against fascism or nazis but instead are on the side of these "fine people" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
