LINDA STASI: STATE DEPARTMENT MUST LIST NRA AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION Posted: 05 Oct 2015 09:27 PM PDT Linda Stasi, writing for the New York Daily News, appears to be one of those intellectually dishonest progressive socialist democrats who remain totally clueless about human nature, individual responsibility, and the role of the state in dictating the course of people’s lives. Stasi: State Department must list gun-loving NRA as terrorist organization -- NEW YORK DAILY NEWS  After more than 87,000 people in the U.S. have been killed from gun violence, it's time to label the NRA for what it really is: a terrorist organization.  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.  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. 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.

And, the best and only way to stop an evildoer on a rampage is to kill them before they kill or injure you. Perhaps if Linda Stasi was intellectually honest, she might also condemn the progressive socialist democrats, particularly the environmentalists, who so demonized the pesticide DDT using junk science that millions of people around the world died or suffered greatly. Perhaps if Linda Stasi was intellectually honest, she might also condemn the progressive socialist democrats, particularly the feminists, who empowered Planned Parenthood as a killing field for innocent children who were viable in the womb. Perhaps if Linda Stasi was intellectually honest, she might also condemn the progressive socialist democrats for creating public policies that ensured the destruction of nuclear families and the absence of male influence on young boys to teach them right from wrong. These same young boys who turned into killers and gangbangers. Or whose public policies created a permanent underclass of victims dependent on state-provided entitlements in return for their vote. Perhaps if Linda Stasi was intellectually honest, she might also condemn the progressive socialist democrats who govern the majority of the inner cities where gun-related death is a daily occurance and is responsible for the majority of gun-related death, excluding suicides and accidents, in the nation. Especially those politicians who refuse to label minority gangs as domestic terrorists and sit idly by while more people may die in a weekend than do in a single mass killing event. Some might say that Linda’s sense of proportionality is skewed to fit her political agenda? Perhaps if Linda Stasi was intellectually honest, she might also point to the uncounted lives that were saved – including men, women, and children – by someone who used a weapon to protect themselves, their families, or members of the community. But, these are the stories that are never told in the mainstream media nor are they counted among official statistics. But Linda Stasi does not appear to be intellectually honest, so she parrots the progressive socialist democrat line that it is the gun, not the individual, that is responsible for the majority of gun-related deaths. And, somehow, the organization that teaches responsible gun ownership and usage is to blame for the ill-will and bad intentions of evildoers. Bottom line … Progressive socialist democrats in the media appear to be totally clueless when it comes to self-defense and the Second Amendment. And, an organization that upholds, protects, and defends our Constitution should not and can not be vilified or held responsible for the actions of individuals who act out of their own accord. I learned gun safety from my father, reinforced by every NRA-sanctioned range master I have ever met. I am a life member of the NRA (Benefactor Level) and thank heavens they are there to protect me from people like Linda Stasi and the progressive socialist democrats who would see me disarmed and unable to protect myself, my family, and others; groveling and begging for mercy while a criminal or crazy, who did not respect or adhere to the law, operated with impunity in a gun-free zone to kill or injure us. Linda Stasi has defamed the character of the NRA and its members. For this she should apologize and be held accountable, not for her beliefs or her words, but for the fact that she is assisting the progressive socialist democrats to create a world where nobody is safe or secure; from criminals, crazies, or tyrannical politicians. -- steve
