SF declares NRA a terrorist organization

[Hammer Britannia]

Antifa Officially Declared a Terrorist Group by New Jersey’s DHS

Cue cricket chirps.

Ah, yes. the 1407 cricket chirps

Come on gauth, don't you at least try and do some research before posting your one-liners?

My mistake.

Approval.

On one hand I kinda approve but on the other hand fuck Homeland Security.

Yes! This is exactly what we need! Finally!

Not sure if it's entirely accurate, but I definitely see the argument they have, since Antifa's goal is basically to use violence to intimidate people to prevent them from expressing their views.

Frankly, they're way too disorganized and pathetically incompetent to be considered a terrorist organization, but then again, they deserve little pity.

Let them have what's coming to them.

Good, now if the rest of the union can catch up maybe we can crush them underfoot once and for all.

About time. All they do is go find every rally that the right-wingers do and then get into street fights with them.

It's not even like I disagree with the principle of counter-protesting. Just heading over wearing a balaclava and bringing weapons to these things like the Antifas do just is awful.

HAH! Nice.

It was 'bout bloody time!

Antifa? Using violence to provoke terror and fear over political aims?

I hate Christie (he went on a state beach during the government shutdown which is still active because HES TEH GOVERNAH), but I'm glad that this organization is what it's truly called out to be -- a terrorist organization.

They've had this coming for quite awhile now.

Antifa IS a terrorist organization. Terrorism is the use of violence or threat of violence to advance a political point or persuade a government to do or not do something. That fits Antifa to a "T".

It needs to be declared a terrorist organization nationwide.

Yes, a group which focuses on advocacy for gun owner rights, firearms training, and hunting and shooting sports associations is totally comparable to the use of violence to shut down anyone to the right of trotsky.

You could easily argue the NRA blocking any efforts to change America's gun culture have killed far more than antifa have.

When a second amendment fan club being criminalized is akin to a gang of thugs being labelled terrorists. Antifa is totally different than the NRA. The NRA likes guns. Antifa likes to fight people

Weirdly, I think that could be said of both groups.

I don't think of antifa as terrorists, I'm just saying they deserve the label far more than the NRA does. When I was a kid, terrorists bombed buildings and shot people. Antifa just goes apeshit and breaks stuff

[Werpman]

For a second I thought this was about Sinn Fein and the IRA. Now that would be an actually interesting thread.

Yet another thing that modern society ruined and we had better quality of when we were kids: terrorists.

And get off my lawn!

I'd like to see that argument play out. It would be absurdly funny to watch. And.... no, you couldn't. Could the claim be made? Yes. Would it have any validity? Nope. Gun control is a different argument entirely but even if we assume that what you say is true (which is a major stretch), then the NRA would only be guilty by association, not directly.

Antifa encourages violence, it's literally one of their cornerstones. The NRA just defends the second amendment. They are constitutionally allowed to do this.

The NRA thinks increased gun ownership will decrease violence

Antifa thinks anyone they deem to be a nazi needs to be hit with a crowbar.

TBF Antifa has done both those things. Though they suck at making bombs.

[Kowani]

To anyone who blames "the far-left" for gun control, let me give you this.

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”

― Karl Marx

Just because Marx said a thing doesn't mean people follow it. Collectivist thought and support of gun ownership are not necessarily linked. Kowani, who brags about being 0% capitalist, for example, is in this thread arguing against gun ownership.

I’m not Marxist.

Keep in mind that Antifa's standards for who is a "Nazi" are basically just anyone who disagrees with them. I'd wager most Antifa members wouldn't be able to identify a Neo-Nazi correctly if there actually was one.

Then why aren't they attacking Democratic and Republican party offices en masse and engaging in mass violence and systematic (AKA premeditated) terror the likes of bombing and armed insurrection? After all, the Democratic Party is a centrist organization, and considering that Antifa is staunchly leftwing, one would think they would start attacking the "nazi" Democratic Party accordingly if the strawman about them expanding the definition of "nazi" to "literally everyone other than us" was correct.

Because, if they attacked someone who was prominent enough to warrant proper state intervention, they would last all of about ten minutes before getting beaten down and arrested or killed by law enforcement. They mostly seem to clash with far-right groups but they'll harass old people who they suspect voted for Trump as well. It's almost like getting a bunch of people who like violence and think their cause is just enough to warrant it together and putting them on the streets with a bunch of other people milling about is a bad idea that will inevitably lead to people getting hurt.

I remember when the young republicans invited milo yiannopolis to Berkley and were violently attacked by antifa. I also remember when antifa violently attacked a patriots prayer rally in Portland several times. No one believes that antifa only attacks real nazis. We know what they're about

Unless you include a photo with a profile nobody is going to automatically know you're Asian.
