NRA Terrorists? San Francisco Labels Gun Group 'Domestic Terrorist Organization'

San Francisco has declared the National Rifle Association a “terrorist organization” in the wake of a series of mass shootings across the country in recent weeks.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors condemned the nation's largest pro-gun organization in a resolution that passed unanimously. The resolution formally labels the lobbying group a “domestic terrorist organization.”

The resolution follows a summer that saw mass shootings at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart shooting and at the garlic festival in Gilroy, California, among other incidents. District 2 Supervisor Catherine Stefani,who authored the resolution, described the NRA as a group that “spreads propaganda that misinforms and aims to deceive the public about the dangers of gun violence.”

“The NRA has it coming to them, and I will do everything that I possibly can to call them out on what they are, which is a domestic terrorist organization” Stefani told KTVU, the San Francisco Fox affiliate.

The NRA did not take kindly to the resolution, with NRA spokeswoman Amy Hunter saying it’s a “worthless and disgusting 'soundbite remedy' to the violence epidemic gripping our nation.” It was also referred to as a means “to distract from the real problems facing San Francisco, such as rampant homelessness, drug abuse and skyrocketing petty crime, to name a few.”

“This is a reckless assault on a law-abiding organization, its members, and the freedoms they all stand for,” Hunter said in a statement to the media.
