NRA designated as a terrorist organization

dimanche 8 septembre 2019 à 02:00

San Francisco's city council voted to designate the National Rifle Association as a "terrorist organization".

The NRA uses disinformation tactics to promote sales of guns, and supports candidates that are right-wing extremists (Republicans).

That is harmful, but it is not terrorism.

It is wrong for any government (or the UN) to arbitrarily attach the label of "terrorist" to an organization. Such designation is legitimate only as the result of a fair trial.
