We’re not exactly sure what New York State Senator Jessica Ramos is referring to because the tweet has been deleted, but no matter what it was her reaction is utterly absurd:
The NRA is hereby recognized as terrorist organization… in my book anyway. https://t.co/rb3Ktvf9ak

Really? Hey, way to go!
You just labeled millions of Americans as terrorists. Congrats! Your district must be so proud.

Dana Loesch brought the reality checks and also sparked a lot of questions for the New York legislator:
An elected lawmaker referring to an organization of millions of Americans, many in NY, as "terrorists" simply because she dislikes their advocacy for constitutional rights. https://t.co/4CUjYjYf6v

Also, I’m interested in learning how @jessicaramos would define the crimes of millions of Americans who unite to advocate for 2A — important, as the penalties range from capital punishment to imprisonment. I’d like to know which she’s calling for. https://t.co/BZCFONsK8r

Others had points to make as well:
@DLoesch brings up a great question, I’m a lifetime member of NRA, so I’m guessing in your book I’m a terrorist, what punishment can I a peasant expect from the ruling class @jessicaramos ? https://t.co/0zshwfC7uQ

We’re sure she’ll think of something.
The @NRA on behalf of its members defends the constitution and specifically the #2A against unconstitutional laws and regulations. @jessicaramos please explain how this is terrorism?

Dear @jessicaramos,
My name is Kimiko Ramirez. Like you, I have a Hispanic last name. I’m proud to be an American and love my country. I’m a single mom, former educator and a good person. Please explain to me why this makes me a terrorist in your eyes. I deeply hurt by your words— Kimiko (@_chickmiko) March 4, 2019
