A resolution passed unanimously in San Francisco this week declares the National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization. The city’s board of supervisors passed the resolution on Tuesday, accusing the NRA of inciting gun violence and arming people who commit acts of terror across the U.S.
“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,” the resolution reads in part. “Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco intends to declare the National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization.”
The resolution calls on other cities and states, as well as the federal government, to join San Francisco in designating the group a domestic terrorist organization.
