The NRA itself should be deemed a domestic terrorist group.

7. No, your point is in the (A) part of the paragraph - that is separate and in addition to (B) which

refers to intimidation and coercion.

Are campaign donations not coercion? Is propagating paranoia and the need for home protection not a form of intimidation?

(B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion,

Got it??


The USA PATRIOT Act defines domestic terrorism activities as "activities that (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state, that (B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S."

"State" is also addressed in the 2nd Amendment yet pro-2A'ers assume it means 'just about anybody'.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

You think pro-gunners in California are worried about keeping California a "free State"???
