When I first read the report three days ago that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution declaring the National Rifle Association a “domestic terrorist organization” and urged the federal government to do the same, I was struck by the audacity and stupidity of the individual Supervisors abusing their office to attack us… the lawful gun-owning members of the NRA.
