The NRA Is a Terrorist OrganizationMichael Harriot Today 2:07pm
Media outlets and politicians in mourning have all offered thoughts, prayers and not much else for the most recent mass shooting in Columbine, Colo.; Las Vegas; Sutherland Springs, Texas; Parkland, Fla. (insert next city here). Very few have called it a terrorism-related incident.

News reports last month said the FBI is investigating contact between Alexander Torshin, who is the deputy governor of Russias central bank and a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, and the NRA. Wyden is ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, as well as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is conducting a probe into Russia election meddling.
The national security as well as legal implications of these reports make it imperative that Congress conduct a thorough investigation, Wyden wrote in his letter to Mnuchin.

If the USA won't outlaw them, then the international courts should categorize them as the terrorist organization they are. These death merchants should be in chains, for the greater good and safety of us all.
