Originally posted by Technologist You said it might be different if they were a terrorist organization, and I’m telling you they are considered as domestic terrorists in the US. That’s my point, so if there’s anything more to it, please tell me.
1. It doesn't matter if people consider it a terrorist organisation, it is not legally proscribed as such. As far as I know the State Department only keeps a list of 'Foreign Terror Organisations' and domestic groups are typically treated the same as organised crime. I said it would be different if they were legally designated a terror organisation because then their activities would be illegal by default and police would be justified to act against them.
2. The overarching point is this guy wasn't doing anything illegal. He wasn't arrested or charged; his weapons were confiscated by the state simply because someone asked them to be. -

The FBI categorizes terrorism investigations into two main programs: international terrorism and domestic terrorism. International terrorism includes cases in which subjects are members of designated FTOs, state sponsors of terrorism, and HVEs. The latter are individuals inside the United States who are inspired by international terrorism who have been radicalized to violence primarily in the United States, and who are not receiving individualized direction from FTOs. Domestic terrorists are individuals who commit violent criminal acts in furtherance of ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as racial bias and anti-government sentiment.

It can’t be more clear than that. I think you’re the one that’s not getting it.
Now Aldra, I know you hate the jedis, think Putin in a-okay, and likely think highly of Hitler. That’s on you. But your bias is clouding your understanding. Atom waffen is very much considered a domestic terrorist organization in the US. Can’t make it any more clear. -

So is the NRA, now. Apparently.
I think Technologist has had way too much fluoride to understand that designating something a "terrorist organization" or designating someone a "terrorist" has lost any meaning it once had. Bush famously said "If you're not with us, then you're with the terrorists"
So anyone can be labelled. The word never had much meaning to begin with, but nowadays it has less and less as years go on. -

Let's just ask the FBI. You ever talk to them? They're usually pretty straightforward. Google your local special agents, they usually have time to answer a few questions. Their tip line is shit and always busy, but you can ask your local special agents about it. -

Like I said, call the FBI. They'll tell you that you're wrong. The ADL can call anyone a terrorist, but it's not really up to them. -

This is why.
But what crime did he commit? -

then you shouldn't have any trouble finding them on the state department's terrorist organisations list.
again - it does not matter if people consider them terrorists, only whether the group is legally proscribed as such. whether or not they actually are is only relevant insofar as it would give police justification to act, which they did not.
and again - if it were, he would've been arrested, not had his guns confiscated under the new 'red flag laws'.
and again - whether or not you think they match the definition of a terrorist group is completely irrelevant.
my initial question was why you thought his disarmament was justified considering he was not charged with any crime.
you went on to say he was guilty by association; that he deserved to have his weapons confiscated because he belonged to a group whose members had committed crimes. now you've invoked Putin like the insane news media you've been greedily consuming (Hitler at least ties into the group's ideology) and you have the gall to call me biased? if you were actually paying attention you'd see that I don't support the group in any way; I know a good deal about them and they're intentionally marketed as 'extreme white racists' to attract and control stupid, disaffected white kids.
this is about overextending state power, not big bad nazi/o9a larpers in goofy skull balaclavas.
you could at least be honest and say 'I want to be able to tell the police to disarm people I don't like' instead of continually banging on about what you think is and isn't a terrorist organisation. -

I quoted this because I can't be bothered to type that much to try in vain to teach a pig to sing. But my hat is off to you for your presentation. -
