A typical way to describe terrorism is the use of threats, misinformation, and propaganda to create fear and uneasiness in the general public as a means to achieve an ignoble goal. Our goal as a society is to never let organizations succeed in controlling our lives with fear, yet this is exactly what happened in the US Senate. Background checks are perfectly acceptable aspects of legislative power, but NRA sponsored ads and threats to a Senator's favorability rating resulted in a cowardly refusal to act. Even NRA members were for the bill as written by Manchin/Toomey. The lobbyists at the highest levels of NRA membership use terrorism to get their way. This has to stop.
