The NRA Is A Terrorist Organization

I believe words matter.  What you say can have an effect.  We saw that reality unfold last week when a Representative was gunned down at a meet and greet in her district.  A young man, delusional and misguided by the words of powerful people with bully podiums shot 20 innocents and killed 6, including a 9-year-old girl.

Words matter.

So it is not with a light heart that I say the following words:  "The NRA is a terrorist organization."

Those who purport to support the rights of law-abiding Americans to own firearms are really undermining the security of this nation, but opposing any gun legislation, which threatens their diminished manhood, found three inches short in their camos.

The gun, which the assailant used to shoot 20 people, had a 30 bullet clip, which originally was illegal under the assault weapons ban of the 1990's, but which was made legal again when the GOP bowed to NRA pressure in 2004.

Exploding bullets, Teflon-coated ammunition, and guns without locks have all been supported and promoted by the blood-thirsty anti-American crowd at the NRA.  No matter what logical legislation is proposed, whether it be background checks, or keeping the names and addresses of gun owners with the Department of Homeland Security, the NRA has unraveled, diluted, and defanged gun laws at every step of the way.

This band of thugs is no better than the street gangs roaming the streets of Los Angeles.  But instead of colors, these bozos wield Glocks and AK-47's.  Could someone tell me when using a Communist-era weapon made you patriotic?  Eh, Comrade?

It it time we call them out for what they are.  It it time to freeze their bank accounts, imprison their leaders, and seize their assets, just as we would do for any terrorist organization.

And once we have cleaned the streets of their ilk, perhaps we can get our country back.

It is the 21st century.  Isn't it high time a 9-year-old child doesn't have to worry she will be shot to death in a public place?
