Isn't that the real issue in a nutshell, the REQUIREMENTS?
okay then there is nothing to argue about.

You are I are in agreement.

I rest my case
He was a terrorist himself. He should be in jail for life on charges of Crimes Against Humanity.

His major legacy was the formation of ISIS.

I don't like the sign in the OP either. Is the NRA promoting views hugely unpopular with a large part of society? Certainly. Does the NRA's leadership openly advocate violence to advance its agenda? No. Even less does it facilitate violence by procuring guns, bombs, etc. and get its members to commit it. That is what makes that sign frankly hysterical, appealing to the more primitive parts of our brain.

If the NRA is a terrorist group, then every interest group promoting hugely unpopular views is one as well, including "liberal" ones like PETA, Earth First, etc.

So let's reserve terrorist for groups or individuals who promote or actively use plausibly deadly violence to advance their social, political, and cultural agenda.

Which leave patriot. So if you aren't a terrorist if you support the NRA, then are you unpatriotic if you don't own a firearm (or worse yet, a traitor)? Big obvious "No" here. Even that view is rejected by the vast majority of NRA members. I don't even need to discuss this one.

So opposing the NRA and its goals is all well and good, that sign simply cheapens the use of the words terrorist, patriot, and unpatriotic.

Obama should be right there with him.

And his illegal bombing of Libya allowed ISIS to dramatically expand its reach.

To the Left, a terrorist. To the true Americans, I'm a patriot.
