This is the same city which has no problem with their massive homeless problem, which leads to poop in the street, used drug needles, and citizens getting abused, harassed, and being robbed. And, tolerates, even extols, groups that despise the U.S., support Islamic terrorism, especially against Israel, as well as the super-violent Antifa.
The Board f Supervisors just put themselves in the position of King George III, against individual rights and the American colonists’ rights, and the @NRA in the position of the patriots fighting for freedom. https://t.co/BPU5he92ig

The city of San Francisco has formally adopted a resolution calling the National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization.
San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday took the step of officially declaring the nation’s premier gun-ownership advocates a terrorist organization.
District 2 Supervisor Catherine Stefani wrote the scathing declaration reading in part, “the National Rifle Association spreads propaganda that misinforms and aims to deceive the public about the dangers of gun violence.”
She continued, “The NRA exists to spread dis-information, and knowingly puts guns into the hands of those who would harm and terrorize us,” said Stefani, whose district includes the Marina and Presidio.
“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,” said Stefani.
In fact, Stefani wrote the declaration following the July mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
Interestingly, one thing you never hear is that these mass shooters is that they are actual members of the NRA. Also, why are they not mentioning that one of the biggest sites on city crime (for those looking to move their or move around in the city), Neighborhood Scout, has San Fran as a 2, meaning that it is safer than 2% of U.S. cities? Violent crime is well above the California median, and almost double the U.S. median. Murder and rape occurrences are at U.S. median, but assault is above, and robbery is almost three times the rate.
U.S. property crime is 24. California is 24.97. Property crime in San Francisco is 62.48. San Francisco has to spend enormous amounts of money to keep the crime confined to certain areas, especially when the car theft problem was skyrocketing.
But, really, they aren’t that worried, nor about the illegal aliens committing crime against U.S. citizens. Nor do they care about leftists wearing masks to hide from being identified while being violent during demonstrations.
Now, by declaring the NRA, and its members, domestic terrorists, they are violating the Constitutional, both Federal (1st) and California (Article 1). This denies free speech, the ability to protest peaceably, and petition for redress of grievance. Here’s California’s version
SECTION 1. All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.
SEC. 2. (a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.
SEC. 3. (a) The people have the right to instruct their representatives, petition government for redress of grievances, and assemble freely to consult for the common good.
Notice that people should have the ability to defend themselves and their property, to go with free speech, redress of grievance, and, heck, it doesn’t even say peaceful assembly, like in the federal 1st. It says assemble freely.
Essentially, they aren’t just calling the NRA, which is driven by its members, terrorists, but every law abiding citizen who owns a gun.
To be accurate, the Board declared the NRA Org a terrorist organization. They did not declare NRA members as terrorists.
The Board IS guilty of a bit of piling on as the NRA is sinking under its own weight.
We know that the non-profit NRA Organization is the lobbying arm for firearms manufacturers.
Maybe the NRA elites can take some of the members’ fees that they’re been using for apartments for concubines, shopping sprees and mansions to start their own NRA-Mart.
Comparing criticism of the NRA to opposing patriotism is just more ridiculous propaganda.
But they love ANTIFA, go figure
Um, no. They branded ALL NRA members and associates as terrorists and/or terrorist group(s). Try reading the actual resolution.
Try reading the actual resolution.
Bwaha, that’s asking a lot of the hysterical little sissybitch.
He can only repeat the talking points he’s given. You’re asking him to actually think.
Um, you’re lying.

You’re welcome.
They passed a resolution that calls the NRA a domestic terrorist group. According to the DOJ any member of that organization that provides funds, training or support to that organization is included in the designation of “terrorist group”. Since EVERY NRA member pays membership fees, they are included in this resolution.
YOU’RE welcome.
Shove it up your ass, you’re a God-damned liar.
WHEREAS, The National Rifle Association musters its considerable wealth and
organizational strength to promote gun ownership and incite gun owners to acts of violence,
and
WHEREAS, The National Rifle Association spreads propaganda that misinforms and
aims to deceive the public about the dangers of gun violence, and
WHEREAS, The leadership of National Rifle Association promotes extremist positions,
in defiance of the views of a majority of its membership and the public, and undermine the
general welfare, and
WHEREAS, The National Rifle Association through its advocacy has armed those
individuals who would and have committed acts of terrorism; and
WHEREAS, 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; now, therefore, be it
Supervisor Stefani
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Page 3
RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco intends to declare the National
Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization; and, be it
But these clowns won’t convict anybody for the murder of Kate Steinle.
Flash a NRA card in the city by the latrine and see what happens.
Maybe the NRA elites can take some of the members’ fees that they’re been using for apartments for concubines, shopping sprees and mansions to start their own NRA-Mart.
Maybe Democrats in San Fiasco can do the same.
Comparing criticism of the NRA to opposing patriotism is just more ridiculous propaganda.
sine the Left is against patriotism and since the NRA fosters patriotism, no, it’s not.
You are really the most least informed person around. Did you even read what they wrote? Also, the NRA represents gun owners and their rights so you SHOULD be pro NRA since eyou “claim” to own guns, love the Constitution and care about the rights of Americans.
BTW, that was the first comment since Monday that I posted which appeared. Every attempt yesterday failed to show up.
The NRA represents manufacturers, not gun owners. You and I differ on whether our Constitution gives Americans the right to any and all forms of firearms. No, I don’t think the Constitution guarantees the right of every person, whether violent or mentally ill, to an AR-15 style rifle.
Did YOU even read what they wrote? Didn’t think so. Here’s your chance.
https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=7568748&GUID=DF64490F-D8BC-4BF7-A43D-287F02BECCCA
Obviously you didn’t.
Fredo you are either deliberately ignorant or a liar. I am a life member of the NRA and have been since 1980. I joined because the organization defends my rights but if they also defend gun manufacturers that’s okay too. Gun manufacturers in America are a business, employ people and make a product we need for our military and police unless you would rather we buy our firearms from the Chinese or Russians.
The Constitution absolutely gives every law abiding citizen the right to keep and bear arms, that’s settled political science and there is no “carve out” as to which “style” weapon we are permitted to own. Just because a rifle is “AR-15 style” means it looks like an M16 but IT IS NOT!! If you’re too stupid to know the difference then you’re too stupid to have a say in the matter.
We all read what they rote Fredo, what are YOU reading?
Trump 2020 Keep the gun grabbers in Cuba where they belong.
What part of I have no interest in anything you have to say do you not understand you archaic asshole?
The mayor of Chicago Blames Indiana and the GOP for violence in Chicago which has the strictest gun control laws in America.
However an interesting fact. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives reports that nearly ten percent of the crime guns it recovered and processed in Illinois last year came from Indiana. TEN PERCENT caused 100 percent of the gun crimes in Chicago.
According to the FBI, roughly 60% of guns used in crimes in Illinois were from out of state.
SO IF WE BAN ALL WEAPONS FROM THE USA guess where all our weapons are coming from? OUT OF COUNTRY. CHINA< RUSSIA<MEXICO etc. on and on the weapons will flow over OPEN BORDERS…….OPEN BORDERS………OPEN BORDERS……….OPEN BORDERS………. NOTHING TO STOP THEM.
LAWS do not prevent criminals from doing criminal activities.
The left is full of BATSHIT craziness if they think you can have OPEN BORDERS with NO ICE and BAN weapons and DREAM of a gun free America. POLITICAL FOOTBALL for the left.
Lets hope moderates see this is nothing more than a terrified left waiting to take over this country by force once they have seized everyones guns.
That 60% is spread over 9 other states. 40% come from Illinois. If their laws are so great, shouldn’t that number be close to zero?
That’s called “Commerce”. It’s perfectly legal. It’s a feature, not a bug. We aren’t intended to only buy stuff made within 20 miles of your house.
“FBI, roughly 60% of guns used in crimes in Illinois were from out of state.”
That number is 100% in DC, since you can’t legally buy guns in DC. I believe there is only one licensed gun retailer and he only sells to police and people with special connections. Good thing Virginia is right across the river (but we don’t sell to out of state people).
Attempting to ban firearms is a good way to start a shootin’ civil war. Besides, do you think banning firearms will be as successful as banning drugs was?
Kye,
Let’s back away from the Rhetorical Nyquil for a few minutes. The Molon Labe-Gadsden flag waving is pretty popular and sells well in Peoria but the chances of a real civil war being sparked over this is pretty much near zero. History just doesn’t back your side. As evidence I show you … pretty much everywhere where white people have ever lived. The law abiding people are pretty much law abiding. They aren’t going to start shooting cops who come to take their guns away. If Leftist politicians did it, I might rethink the evidence. No matter how many times you read Solzhenitsyn, a good man doesn’t suddenly start murdering his neighbors over political differences and new laws being passed. It just doesn’t happen. Even the founders cited a “long list of usurpations” for their civil war.
I wouldn’t bet that a “real civil war” being sparked over gun confiscation is near zero. Although your assessment of white people being “pretty much law abiding” we do have our limits. As you pointed out the Founders had a long list of usurpation’s and we have one too or do we need to go over everything from forcing “transsexuals” on us to the climate hoax to their most recent anti American coup against our elected leader? The white people fired the Shot Heard ‘Round the World and later when the white people felt the government was abusing them they fired on Ft. Sumpter. Yes, they will tolerate a lot but are you willing to trust you family’s future to a raging leftist like ANY current DemCom candidate AFTER they confiscate our guns and negate the second amendment? You think they’ll stop there? You need to rethink that.
The DemComs have shown they are neither mature enough nor emotionally stable enough to be believed on any policy. All they seek is POWER. Their current mantra is “by any means necessary”. You do understand that, don’t you?
Trump 2020 Let’s shut the door on commies in our government for good!
Have the virtual bans on sawed-off shotguns and machine guns been successful?
There will never ever be a ban on all firearms in the US, period. So you’re threatening to shoot people over restrictions on 30 and 100 round magazines and drums? Semi-auto rifles copied after infantry weapons?
Do you actually believe that American “patriots” with AR-15s stands between the America we love and a dictatorship?
Execute murderers and outlaw Gun-Free Zones.
That will do more than taking away legal firearms.
Do you actually believe that American “patriots†with AR-15s stands between the America we love and a dictatorship?
They stand against you and yours.
Many don’t understand how a firearms ban would start a civil war. My summation is this. If it was only firearms then the US could survive. But it only takes a bit to see the comments of Jeff to see what the stupid liberals desire. Demands for reparations to select individuals, destruction of our economy and wealth over a climate hoax, allowing illegal aliens to have access to our country, jobs, and social services, the list goes on and is long. This ultimately creates large groups with the process of Jeff that we call them or any other designation such as Antifa. We become us and are bound by common interest and desires that are opposite to the Jeff’s of our country. They are no longer looked at as our neighbor or nutty friend. Then you pass gun laws that leads to a force with the power of life and death to enforce these laws. A few of us are killed by them and things begin to happen. But little will happen until another factor is thrown in, such as economic collapse, for numerous reasons that are currently threatening, thanks to Obama and previous idiot presidents and their administrations.
Then, you have less to lose. And us begins to become organized and fights back trying to get rid of the interference of the Jeff’s of the world. The American revolution had far fewer complaints against the themes than we have now. The Civil war had close to the number of complaints against the them.
We are actually in a cold civil war. Just need provocation.
The trumpitistas WANT a civil war, chaos, the dismantling of America to be rebuilt in their image.
No, the Left wants to Communize the US. They think, because the US Armed forces are under the President’s command, a Democrat PUS could order them to move against the people.
They forget a little artifact of Commie movie making called Battleship Potemkin, where the armed forces said, “Screw you”.
I have been studying this issue for a long time. There is plenty of evidence to believe that police and military will indeed follow orders, any orders. The American military is especially good at following orders. You would have to look long and hard to find any American generals who have resigned because of presidential over-reach. And the military is itself one of the most communist agencies in the USA outside of a hippie commune.
Evidence: Generals giving testimony to Congress that integration of homosexuals into the military would be detrimental to good order and discipline. Those same generals testifying to congress later that they fully support integration of homosexuals into the military. Ditto for integration of women into all military functions (combat arms). Ditto for full participation of trans-sexuals.
On March 5, 1770 the British army followed orders and gave us the Boston Massacre. The British were on their way to seize the guns and powder of the colonists. Call it the first “gun grab”. We all know how that turned out. In October of 1859 John Brown raided the Armory at Harper’s Ferry in what was the first move of the Civil War. The Union mobilized it’s troops, invaded the South and 600,000 American lives later declared victory at Appomattox. MacArthur, Eisenhower and Patton fired on American Vets at the Bonus Riots in Washington DC in 1932. The vets lost. The military will follow orders right up until their families are being shot down in the streets then maybe not so much.
The police OTOH are all local. When the cops line up across Broad Street in Philly and are facing their sons, brothers and neighbors they may find it difficult to follow orders. Or they may not.
All I’m saying is there will be tens of thousands of Americans who would rather be in a gun fight than surrender their guns. Because after the leftists take our guns we have absolutely no defense to stop them from taking our land, property and our lives. It’s better to fight the government while we can rather than let them disarm us then try and fight.
Do you really want to be disarmed when irrational crazies like Elwood and John and the “leaders” they would elect run the country? With people like THIS in charge:

Paranoia strikes deep…
If our government wants to move in and take your land and property, your toy popguns will not stop them!
Our defense against totalitarianism is our system of government that Trumpism is attempting to destroy.
What part of I have no interest in anything you have to say do you not understand you archaic asshole?
IOW Your arguments are valid and I can’t rebut them. I’m so frustrated, I must resort to profanity.
It was already evident that he wasn’t listening all along. He just cuts and pastes his talking points and moves along. I suspect he has several blogs he has to cover.
