The New York Daily News calls on the State Department to label the NRA as a terrorist organization

  In the wake of the horrific Umpqua campus mass shooting The New York Daily News has decided that it is time for the State Department to label the NRA has a terrorist organization. Here is some of what the rag had to say on this issue:

One terrorist group is responsible for more civilian deaths since December 2012 (the Sandy Hook massacre) than Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas and the Taliban. Yet it is the only nearly-state sponsored terrorist group that is not listed by the U.S. State Department as such.

It is the National Rifle Association and for their unending lobbying that’s kept a lid on gun control we now have 428 times more American deaths by gun than deaths by foreign terrorists.

  The article continues:

Those murdered Americans killed by our own 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.

Therefore 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.

  Of course in  order for an organization to be placed on the terror list it has to be a state-sponsored but The New York Daily News tries to get around this inconvenient little fact by using some of the most convoluted, and nearly unintelligible, logic I have ever read:

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.

  This whole article is just silly and does not bear wasting our time on it other than to state this is a prime example of how the left uses intimidation to silence its foes and to criminalize opposition to its radical agenda.

  However while we are on the subject of terrorism I find it interesting that the mainstream media is ignoring the fact that this shooting was apparently motivated in part due to the shooter’s disdain for Christianity or, if you prefer, religion in general.

  It has been reported on several websites that the shooter singled out Christians for slaughter by asking the victims if they were Christian; if they answered yes he allegedly told them it was good because they were about to meet God before shooting them dead but if they answered no to the question he only shot to injure them.

  It is also now being reported, in a foreign newspaper of course, that the shooter made all the Christians crawl to the middle of the room before he executed them.

  But of course this does not help to forward the agenda so the mainstream media is ignoring these facts in order to focus on what does forward the agenda. The mainstream media is not interesting in providing the American people with all of the facts, only the facts they wish the American people to know.

  It reminds me of a famous quote from the movie Citizen Cain, “the people will think…what I tell them to think.”
