Time to declare NRA a terrorist organization

LEE HAUGEN

It is well beyond time that we face reality and declare the National Rifle Association a terrorist organization and do whatever is necessary to eliminate this threat to our freedom, security and peace of mind.

The only real power it has is to whip its members into a frenzy of paranoia, very much like all extremist fear-mongers. Why members of Congress let the NRA’s financial contributions hold the innocent children of this country hostage is beyond belief.

I hope that Joe Biden shows the strength of character that I believe he is capable of and that Congress finally enacts some long-overdue and effective restrictions on the proliferation of firearms.
