San Francisco Declares the N.R.A. a ‘Domestic Terrorist Organization’

Does the NRA directly attack civilians? Do they aim for political change?

My understanding is that they do not carry out attacks on civilians and they seek to maintain the status quo.

Regardless of your position on gun control (personally I'm in favour of gun control), words have meaning.

Edit: missed a 'not' above, pardon the confusion

Your understanding is wrong. The NRA has never carried out an attack on anyone.

Indeed. I missed a 'not', pardon the error. I've fixed the comment.

Do their members? Yes.

The NRA is a lobbying organization that spends hundreds of millions [0] on advocating political change (or blocking it), so your second question is also a yes.

Could you please answer the questions in the comment you're replying to, rather than answer different questions? Thanks.

This is false. No member of the NRA has executed a mass shooting.
