San Francisco's Board of Supervisors has passed a resolution designating the National Rifle Association (NRA) a "domestic terrorist organization" following the shooting in Gilroy, Calif., where four people including a gunman were killed.
The resolution, which local
Fox affiliate KTVU reported passed on Tuesday, declares the gun rights group to be a terrorist group and calls on other cities and government entities to make similar declarations. The resolution itself has no legal weight.
Among the accusations levied at the NRA, the resolution argues that the group "musters its considerable wealth and organizational 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," reads the resolution's text.
The legislation's author, District 2 Supervisor Catherine Stefani, told KTVU that the organization "has it coming," blaming the group for "doing nothing" in the wake of mass shootings in Gilroy, El Paso, and other subsequent attacks.
"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," she said.
WOW
On the other hand isn't that public slander?
If the NRA labeled this board domestic terrorists, do you think it would take long for them to sue??
