We Talked to the Lawmaker Behind San Francisco’s Branding of the NRA as a ‘Terrorist Organization.’ She’s Not Backing Down

“The NRA’s reckless assault on America is about to come to an end,” says supervisor Catherine Stefani

a “domestic terrorist organization,” citing the gun lobby’s violent rhetoric and promotion of loose gun laws.
