New York Daily News: State Dept Must Designate the NRA a
Terrorist Organization
by AWR Hawkins 4 Oct 2015
On October 3–two days after a gunman killed 10 at the gun
free facilities on the Umpqua Community College campus–the New York Daily News called for the U.S. State Department to designate the National
Rifle Association (NRA) a “terrorist organization.”
They based this request on their belief that national
security faces a greater threat from armed citizens than from “foreign terrorists,”
and they singled out the NRA as the bulwark preserving citizens’ right to keep
and bear arms. They suggested, “The NRA should take its rightful place on the
State Department list of terrorist organizations, because its influence is more
of an immediate threat to the lives of our citizens than foreign terrorists.”
To be on the State Department’s list of designated terror
organizations a group has to be state-sponsored for terrorism–which the NRA is
not. Moreover, they do not exist for terrorist reasons. Rather, they exist to
defend the civil liberties protected by the Second Amendment. Undaunted by
these things, the NYDN simply declares the NRA a “terrorist group” and suggests
it falls under the State Department’s purview by being “nearly-state sponsored.”
The NYDN added,
“Although the NRA is not an officially state-sponsored organization it is the
supporter of the state with its massive member and lobbyist donations to our
elected officials.”
They remind readers that “murdered Americans killed
by…lunatic gun slingers include terrified children calling for their mothers,
teachers begging for the lives of their students, students begging for not just
their own lives but the lives of their classmates, moviegoers looking for
escape, bystanders cheering for athletes, athletes trying to be the best they
can be as the worst we ever could have imagined struck them down in cold
blood.”
No mention is made that the children, teachers, and students
shot in schools were shot in gun free zones by gunmen who knew their victims
could not return fire. Moreover, no utterance given to the fact that the NRA
was a leading voice in calling for a change in the gun free policies following
the heinous attack on Sandy Hook–they wanted laws changed so teachers could
quit begging for their lives and start keeping a gun close at hand with which
to defend their lives and the lives of their students.
On December 21, 2012–one week after the attack on Sandy
Hook–the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre said;
…Politicians pass laws for Gun-Free School Zones. They issue
press releases bragging about them. They post signs advertising them. And in so
doing, they tell every insane killer in America that schools are their safest
place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk.
How have our nation’s priorities gotten so far out of order?
Think about it. We care more about our money, so we protect our banks with
armed guards. American airports, office buildings, power plants, courthouses —
even sports stadiums — are all protected by armed security.
We care about the President, so we protect him with armed
Secret Service agents.
…Yet when it comes to the most beloved, innocent and
vulnerable members of the American family — our children — we as a society
leave them utterly helpless, and the monsters and predators of this world know
it and exploit it. That must change now!
The NRA’s position is that faculty and students with
concealed carry permits should have the option of being armed on campus so they
can fight back. It is that simple.
