In article ,
says...

... a terrorist organization?

Wikipedia has a handful of scholarly or semi-scholarly definitions of
terrorism. One of these states that a terrorist organization:


If wikipedia is to be used as the source of authority for terrorist
organizations all you need to do is get an wikipedia account and change
any datum you want to classify it as a terrorist organization.

is ineluctably political in aims and motives


Labor unions.

is violent ? or, equally important, threatens violence (uh, like "cold,
dead hands?")


Labor unions.

is designed to have far-reaching psychological repercussions beyond the
immediate victim or target


Labor unions.

is conducted by an organization with an identifiable chain of command or
conspiratorial cell structure (whose members wear no uniform or
identifying insignia) and perpetrated by a subnational group or
non-state entity.


Labor unions.

Sounds like the NRA to me.
