San Francisco Declares NRA a ‘Terrorist Organization’
Guess that makes me a “terrorist” by their definition. According to The San Francisco Gate:
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution on Tuesday declaring that the National Rifle Association is a domestic terrorist organization. The officials also urged other cities, states and the federal government to follow suit.
District 2 Supervisor Catherine Stefani wrote the resolution and shared her thoughts on the NRA with KTVU. “The NRA has it coming to them,” she said. “And I will do everything I possibly can to call them out on what they are, which is a domestic terrorist organization.”
I think the NRA should sue the city for slander. The hard-left wing of the Democrats seems determined to not learn the lessons of 2016, and to continue to treat their political opponents as mortal enemies. It’s a worn-out phrase, but for the love of all that is holy: “This is how you got Trump. This is how you will re-elect Trump.”
This is yet another exercise in dehumanizing “the other,” and it seems this is increasingly the only thing the hard left knows how to do: brand your opponent as a “hater” or “terrorist,” then try to ruin their lives merely for disagreeing with you. What they fail to grasp is that this sort of madness will, in the end, only generate a reciprocal madness on the Right, and this does not bode well for the future of the Republic.
Heck, even The Onion (which departed even-handed satire some time ago), has started to notice and mock the Left for its contempt and militancy.
Not only will this action serve as a terrific membership drive for the NRA, but it will serve as a reminder that for the hard left, you are a criminal for not siding with them.
Every sane politician that still has a backbone should condemn this action and denounce it for the political repression attempt it is.

Correct!
You’re right; the comments section is very entertaining!
Well, as a designated terrorist I’m certainly not inclined to have any sympathy or regard for San Francisco. Amazing that their council can take on these weighty issues considering all the problems they have.
As some wag said, when the city government takes up national issues beyond their purview it’s a sure sign of poor city governance.
Unfortunately, yes.
Back when I lived in the Bay Area and had drive to into SF on business, it seemed that the city had given scores of old acid-heads clunker cars and gasoline credit cards, to make the visitor’s experience more memorable. This is the same city whose council declared San Francisco to be a “Nuclear Free Zone”. Bet Putin’s really shivering in his socks.
Bingo. Anytime a city council declares war on big gulps, or plastic straws, or declares fealty to the BDS or Climate Change movements, you can bet your money that somewhere there are serious problems they are unable or unwilling to address.
One aspect of this may be that NRA related organizations will not be able to rent facilities and other assets within the area.
It would be fun to sue them under public accommodation laws.
The best arguments for keeping the Electoral College:
1st paragraph; Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, and the City of New York.
2nd paragraph; Broward County, Florida and Austin, Texas
3rd paragraph (optional) Name your own counties if necessary.
Go fill some potholes, tackle the homeless problem, and quit talking about plastic bags and straws.
4th paragraph:
We’ve long since passed the point where civil discourse is possible. This is just another example.
This was my first thought, I think it will happen.
And for suppression of civil rights.
David French would be very unhappy if I start martyring people for his cause.
