Crime The List of Best People

Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 11:28 AM

If you're on the NRA's enemies list, you're probably a good person.

[Retired Price is Right game show host Bob] Barker is among 494 people, organizations and companies on an NRA list of those holding positions it finds hostile. The roster, posted on the website of the largest U.S. pro-gun group, also includes poet Maya Angelou, the United Methodist Church and the National Football League’s Kansas City Chiefs.

Also on the list: Several rabbis, Danny DeVito, and Levi Strauss & Co. I think the NRA could make compiling this list easier if they crowd-sourced it. I would happily go onto an NRA website and volunteer my name as an enemy of the NRA.

Also shooting LIVE pigeons has been banned for ages, like before Bob barker, Bob is anti hunting though. Funny because hunters have done more for conservation then all other environmental groups. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2007/1…

@15
Sure, first of all the NRA does not have an "enemies list" it does maintain a list of anti-gun celebrities and companies to boycott, as do most political organizations.

If you note the source of the article is Bloomberg media, meaning it is owned by a super rich corporate media mogul who has openly declared himself against the second amendment. Bloombergs actions have also shown that he is also against the 4th commandment, 1st amendment, and 5th amendment and in general an enemy of human freedom.

Constant can not understand this as he has not gained much real world experience.

Would the pro-NRA anons care to say something reasoned and articulate in defense of the NRA's publication of an "enemies" list? Anything...? I honestly want to see some kind of reasoned justification for a major lobby group doing something most people quit doing by Grade 4.

Bring it bitch.

@10

I'd love to describe YOUR and ole Bob's confusion, as to the physical structure of said "pigeons" as cute or colloquial.

However, the only conclusion i can come to is that you both are completely fucking stupid.

@6: ACTUAL pigeons...

Now I'd thought they'd like Danny "If I'm going to go out, I'm going out guns blazing" DeVito.

Enemies? How about a"kill list". This is a provocative act, not dissimilar to the NRA's previous trolling attempts. What I find most worrisome is that this has thee obvious potential to incite violence... tell the population where people with concealed permits live, some of them get harassed. Tell the gun nutz where their "enemies" live, expect some killings.

The country's larget gun-nut group has an enemies list. That is chilling.

Posted by TechBear on February 5, 2013 at 12:18 PM

Omg, that is hilarious.

Barker opposes shooting clay pigeons due to his love of animals.

Fucking priceless...

Sign me up! Kill the NRA!

Posted by billrm on February 5, 2013 at 12:16 PM

If you click through the article, you will find that they blacklisted Barker because he was opposed to hunters shooting birds that are launched into the air from spring loaded boxes.

Yeah, that is as anti-gun as they come.
