The NRA’s Enemies List (Reminds Us Who Marla Maples Is)
(grave threat to the 2nd Amendment and the greatest thing to ever happen to Bucky Dent, Mike Torrez)
“The Kansas City Royals haven’t been a threat to anything and haven’t stood for anything since at least the late 80s. But I guess their pitching staffs for the last 20 years have shown an institutional aversion to high caliber firepower, but that’s stretching it a bit.” So penned Hardball Talk’s Craig Calcaterra upon learning the Royals and owner David Glass had made their way onto the National Rifle Association’s newly published list of “National Organizations With Anti-Gun Policies” (“the following organizations have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations”). The all-powerful firearms lobby has selected some interesting targets, and they’re not limited to the following :
National Coalition Against Domestic Violence
National Black Nurses` Association
National Association of School Psychologists
National Council of La Raza
National Center to Rehabilitate Violent Youth
National Spinal Cord Injury Association
YWCA of the U.S.A.

Amongst sports franchises, the Royals are joined by the KC Chiefs and St. Louis Rams. A&M Records is cited (perhaps for throwing the Sex Pistols off the label?) alongside an address for a label president who hasn’t represented the company in at least a decade.
Damn! That seems like half the country!
Richard Dean Anderson – Actor
Does not need firearms. Give him a walnut shell, some baking soda, a lime rind and some dung beetles.
Alec Baldwin – Actor
PUT that AR15 DOWN! Assault rifles are for closers.
Jerry Seinfeld – Actor
What’s the deal with trigger locks?
I really don’t understand what the NRA is trying to achieve here. Who else publishes a list of a solid thousand (mostly) well-thought-of people and organizations who are unified against them?
A&M should have been on plenty of lists just for fuckin over The Mekons
