    The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to declare the National Rifle Association (NRA) a “domestic terrorist organization.”

    The resolution claims that the NRA incites and arms those who would use guns in acts of mass terrorism driven by hatred.
    It reads, in part:

    I was given an NRA membership as a gift at my 'sweet16' B-day & have been a member ever since. In over a decade of membership I just haven't seen anything from the organization but sober, legislative adherence to Constitutionality and the rule of law. Conversely I have heard quite a lot about San Fran officials & legislators defying Constitutionality & the rule of law these past few years. Knowing the typical response from the NRA, I'm sure there will be a suit filed against the city in short order...

    It seems as though the recklessly unconstitutional propositions put forth by the 'progressive' element of the left is shaping the narrative & desensitizing us to some extent. For instance, I checked my father the other day when he used the terminology 'undocumented immigrant' instead of illegal alien - he shook his head wondering how he had stumbled upon that verbiage. Bombard one long enough w/ agenda driven erroneous terminology, narratives & espousals - and the fallacious takes on a warped sense of normalcy & legitimacy.

    We have presidential candidates & congressional leaders coloring outside the lines of textualism & concocting their own conjured versions of legislative intent - talking about banning 'common use arms', gun registration, gun buy backs / confiscation, gun seizures without due process etc. Something that perhaps we all can agree upon is how imperative it is to hold our legislators (& candidates) accountable when they run adrift from bedrock Constitutional tenets.

    What think you?

    No surprise, no one hates our Constitution's Bill of Rights more than the California’s Democratic politicians. The right of self-defense, the right that existed before the Constitution was written, will still exist unchanged long after the last government is forgotten in the mists of time. No law or constitution can alter that right in the smallest degree, even in California.

    California wants ban the NRA, and others like them, which is a violation of the Constitution. A gun is only a tool, a deranged liberal mind is the weapon.

    I think you should merge this with the existing thread on this topic.

    Banning the NRA is NOT, repeat NOT, a violation of the Constitution. That's hysterical!!

    On Topic, I'm not sure how I feel about this. The NRA could be a fine organization IN THEORY, but like many lobbying groups, they've acquired too much power and directed it in the wrong direction.

    There would likely be better ways to take down the NRA than this, if you were so inclined.

    In California, all rights come from the beneficence of those who rule the state.

    This isn't surprising. This is the same city that let an illegal immigrant who killed an American, off score free. I'm sure that the NRA doesn't really care.

    The NRA does lobby for background checks and for the mental ill to not have access to fire arms. They've lobbied to have laws passed.

    I understand not pulling a murder charge, he fired into the ground the bullet skipped into the young lady, killing her, but no conviction at all, for anything?

    The NRA is the one civil rights group who will fight for the Amendment the ACLU won’t.

    San Fran calls the NRA terrorists, but relabeled felons as choir boys. Nice.

    And in doing so alientates anyone, and every American who isn't a shade of white that they don't like.

    Before going off on your tangent, I was an NRA member for a couple of years. While their mailings avoid any outright racism, the companies they sold my info to without my consent had no such qualms.

    I regularly got adverts from companies trying to sell me insurance in case any illegals killed and raped my daughter and I just happened to shoot them dead.

    Or ads for "tactical" BS items designed to better shoot people who were clearly illegal, or black. Or, just not white.

    The NRA was founded to provide education in the shooting sports. Wayne LaPierre has destroyed that vision.

    I hope the NRA rots from the inside. And it can't come to soon.

    He's going to be re-tried, according to what I read. In any case, you MUST always check the facts on cases like this. Here is the right-wing Red State article on it.

    Nice troll post. :bored:

    Here is my comment from the Original Thread:

    SFBS does a lot of unique things (that wouldn't fly anywhere else).

    That said, it is a wholly "symbolic" gesture (that lacks any sort of teeth).

    And, obviously, the NRA could not care less what the SFBS thinks of them.

    Also, in the future you may want to use the Search Function to avoid Unintended REDUNDANCY.

    My O my, this is a rather challenging post to respond to, re. the NRA - challenging, as in I've got 40 warning points, lol... I would humbly submit that sometimes one can get exercised to the point of seeing the 'boogie man' in just about anything, especially if not disabusing one's self of preconceived notions.

    If anything the NRA seeks out those most effected by violence in their spheres & this includes minorities, who largely are concentrated in Democratically run cities & burbs. (btw illegals is not a racial issue it is a 'status of one's standing in a sovereign nation' issue) One of my favorite spokespersons for the NRA is Colion Noir; I appreciate his articulate sober take on Societal factors, Constitutionality & legislation. Recently watched him having a constructive dialogue w/ Bill Maher.
    As a Persian Iranian American, I have been openly accepted at the NRA events thus far; & I've been to more than a few, lol...

    upload_2019-9-5_0-36-56.jpeg
    Colion Noir is an American civil rights activist, lawyer, and host of the NRATV web series NOIR. He has over 102 million views on his YouTube channel, as of March 2019, and over 827,000 subscribers to his channel, as of March 2019. In 2013, the NRA recruited him to appear in NRA News videos in subsequent months. Wikipedia

    I'd like to see Trump give helicopter rides to San Francisco's "supervisors".

    To show them around.

    Absolute BS. The NRA seeks out gun owners who are perfectly safe in their homes, and then scares them into believing that they aren't safe because people of a different skin color may live within a few miles of them.

    Read the frickin' literature. The NRA couldn't give a sh!t about "Democratically run cities". They know that their core audience doesn't live there, so they have to invent some urban boogeyman from that urban city that will come and rape their daughter, hence their need for the most modern form of lethathism available to them.

    Again, I was an NRA member for years, and I got the monthly mail. Their only wish is to scare you into believing that your life is in danger if you don't send them money.

    Fundraising & outreach campaigns are x2 different animals. Why do you think that they bring staff spokespersons on like Colion Noir & give them their own show / segments on NRA TV - is it to wring donation $ from affluent & middle class whites?

    As a shining example of liberalism run amok I am not sure anyone wants to follow their example, except other failed bastions of liberal governance, such as Detroit and Baltimore. With all, the feces, needles, high drug abuse rate and high crime rates aren't more important than meaningless and useless political statements. San Fran is FUBAR.

    "San Francisco crime statistics report an overall upward trend in crime based on data from 17 years with violent crime increasing and property crime increasing. Based on this trend, the crime rate in San Francisco for 2019 is expected to be higher than in 2016.

    The city violent crime rate for San Francisco in 2016 was higher than the national violent crime rate average by 78.95% and the city property crime rate in San Francisco was higher than the national property crime rate average by 122.03%.

    In 2016 the city violent crime rate in San Francisco was higher than the violent crime rate in California by 59.55% and the city property crime rate in San Francisco was higher than the property crime rate in California by 113.13%."

    Only mods can merge threads. Perhaps what you meant was that you think that she should've checked to see if there was an existing thread and not created created this thread.

    Of course it is a violation of the constitution and multiple parts of the constitution.

    It would violate the freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble and of course the right to petition the government.

    Not that anyone IS banning them because they cannot,

    Complete horseshit and out right fiction from you.

    The NRA is a civil rights organization which does not mislead people as you claim

    You are speaking in absolute ignorance and your claim is absolute propaganda based on false premises
