Sen. Martha McSally is seeking to make domestic terrorism a distinct federal crime, the latest sign that Republicans are increasingly serious about crafting a legislative response to recent mass shootings in Texas, Ohio and California.
The Arizona Republican is aiming to close a loophole in the law that prevents federal authorities from specifically punishing domestic terrorism, according to a discussion draft circulated to other offices. McSally, an Air Force veteran, said in releasing the draft that “domestic terrorism is in our backyard and we need to call it and treat it under the law the same as other forms of terrorism.” Authorities frequently charge domestic terrorism suspects with other offenses.
Gangland shootings are mass terror, happen on a regular basis in Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis among other places. We will have demands for FBI in every gangland drive by.
She is knee jerking, jumping on some timely topic with an ill thought out proposal only meant for election BS. If she really wants to knee jerk, then propose arresting Rick Scott for conspiracy to mass murder. Then another indictment for Abbot of Texas who is also promoting mass murder.
