[hrmjustin]

1. I am a proud member of the Episcopal Church and I am happy we made the list.

[Recursion]

16. Why isn't the Presbyterian church on there? I feel like we should do something about that...

I'll ask in the next Session.

[OldHippieChick]

23. Would need to go all the way to

General Assembly and that could take a decade. Look at gay ordination! That's what happens in a democratic organization ...

[brucefan]

2. Where's my name?

[CrispyQ]

63. +1!

[liberal N proud]

76. Don't feel bad, they left me off the list too.

[Auntie Bush]

3. Who isn't their enemy? The NRA for kids?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

4. Looks like a "Who's Who" of the rational and reasonably intelligent.

[JDPriestly]

43. Wonder why they didn't mention the American Bar Association?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

55. It's # 16 on the list.

[JDPriestly]

60. Woops. Missed it.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

61. I do that all the time... n/t

[Aerows]

65. No kidding

It looks like a bunch of reasonable people who are tired of reading about people getting gunned down in my view.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

74. That's for sure.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. They are pretty out of sync, aren't they?

Their days are numbered

[derby378]

6. Again?

I think they had better luck when Britney Spears was on the list.

[Thinkingabout]

7. They have made it easy, now who has more members, these groups or NRA

Do they run on dumb all the time? I will hang with their enemy list, it is time to put the NRA where they belong, let's stick together and get this accomplished. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!

[PA Democrat]

8. I went to the link and this is the geniuses at the NRA's response

to the newspaper that published names of gun owners. Any organization that has voiced support for gun control is an enemy.

They are nuts.

[Gin]

9. How can an organization

With 4 million members wield so much power....

Surely all the groups listed outnumber the NRA and can put an end to this craziness.

[Brother Buzz]

15. There is evidence NRA's membership numbers are totally inflated

For starters, a substantial number of the group's 1 million Life Members are, well, dead. NRA guards the figures, but educated guesses put their numbers closer to two million members.

That being said, you ask a very valid question.

[Aerows]

67. Many gun manufacturers also include

a free membership to the NRA. So you pretty much own a firearm and get inducted into the "club".

I wouldn't be a member of the NRA if I had to be to own a firearm. They are pretty much synonymous with nutjobs in my mind.

[Recursion]

17. A) that number is inflated B) membership in the NRA is different from supporting NRA-ILA

There are lot of "NRA members" who don't donate anything to the lobbying arm, and just join for the insurance.

[JDPriestly]

44. Methodists alone number about 7.7 million in the US.

In the United States, it ranks as the largest mainline denomination, the second largest Protestant church after the Southern Baptist Convention, and the third largest Christian denomination. As of 2009, worldwide membership was about 12 million: 7.7 million in the United States and Canada,[6] and 4.4 million in Africa, Asia and Europe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Methodist_Church

Some Methodists may belong to the NRA, but probably not one-half of them.

Plus Unitarians are a little over maybe a million.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarian_Universalism#Number_of_members

On edit, almost two million Episcopalians also on the list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episcopal_Church_%28United_States%29

Non-members way, way outnumber members of the NRA.

[Aerows]

66. And the Southern Baptists

are exactly why many people eschew religion. You couldn't find a greater congregation of nutjobs if you went to a Republican convention, though most Southern Baptists attend both. They make a mockery of religion. I grew up amongst Southern Baptists, and while a few are good people, the vast majority are enough to send people fleeing from religion for life.

Thank you, Catholicism is more sane than Southern Baptists, and that isn't saying much.

[Thinkingabout]

10. I did not see Southern Baptist Convention on the list.

Could it be they are not prolife after all? For the groups who wail against abortion, you need to tell the NRA you want to be on the list before we think you are lying about your prolife stand.

[Aerows]

68. They are as nutty as the NRA

and enough to make a sane person flee religion for life.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

11. Is this a joke?

This is a real list that they have put out? Or is this a joke thing by Little Green Football?
I need to know before I go and start to enjoy making fun of the NRA over this list.

[JaneyVee]

12. No it's real, and the original link also includes actors & others on the enemies list, HERE:

http://www.conservativedailynews.com/2013/01/nra-publishes-list-of-gun-control-advocates/

[JaneyVee]

13. Any enemy to organized labor is an enemy of mine.

[MichaelHarris]

14. No Rupert Murdoch?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/21/rupert-murdoch-tweets-support-gun-control_n_1692437.html

[rug]

18. They're going to need more ammo.

[WillyT]

19. Damn... They Have A Lot Of Enemies With "American", And "National".. Their Names... Ironic !!!

Little wonder...



& Rec !!!

[RB TexLa]

20. In Issues Politics, "The entire world is against us" is always the best fundraiser

[annabanana]

21. What a STELLAR collection of organizations!

THIS is the kind of list I want to be associated with. Look at all those healers.

[Earth_First]

22. Where's Earth_First?!

[Brother Buzz]

24. It might be argued Earth First is not an organization, but a movement; an idea

It might also be argued Earth First is a terrorist group, something the NRA might actually condone.

I used to stand in solidarity with the ideas of Earth First until they burned our local independent family owned stock auction yard to the ground. Small farmers and ranch outfits now have to drive their livestock another eighty miles to market them. Earth First Yahoos killed a local business while the corporate feed lots flourish, unaffected.

To add insult to injury, the location of the old stock yard, with its famous killer greasy spoon cafe, is now a fucking Walmart.

[Romulus Quirinus]

72. Are you sure it wasn't "the other guys" eliminating the competition?

Not saying that's what happened, but ...

[Brother Buzz]

73. "the other guys" were the buyers

[kestrel91316]

25. They're hatin' on the MENNONITES?? The original "peace" church??

Now I KNOW they're a bunch of crazy people (yeah, like there was ever any doubt).

Mennonites? Seriously??

GFY, NRA.

[eShirl]

48. uh, being a peace church is entirely WHY they're on the list

[EastKYLiberal]

26. If anyone associated with these groups gets gunned down, the NRA should be held accountable. nt

[graham4anything]

27. Why isn't the John Birch Society, the KKK, Neo Nazis, Ron Paul and Alqueda on their enemies list?

[freshwest]

40. Because they're their customers, silly wabbit!

[TheBlackAdder]

28. The 'Friend List' will probably be shorter. nt

[GoCubsGo]

29. It is a badge of honor to be on that list.

Excellent company there.

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. Yay! My union made the list!!

[MotherPetrie]

31. Some of the celebs on the list are no longer among the living

[NoGOPZone]

35. They first published a list ten years ago.

http://articles.courant.com/2003-11-28/news/0311280687_1_gun-control-ban-on-assault-weapons-blue-cross

This may the same one.

Never thought I'd see Mary Lou Retton on someone's enemies list. Leave it to LaPierre.

[2pooped2pop]

51. Once a member, always a member. Once an enemy, always

an enemy. They seem to have trouble letting go, even after death. They need to keep their numbers artificially inflated.

[Apophis]

32. They should add me to their list.

[Cha]

33. Why the hell would they be so stupid as to publish a long "enemies list"

with super amazing people and orgs on it? Oh wait.. they are stupid. Like making an ad with the President's daughters.

Speaking of whom.. I didn't see Pres Obama on their stupid list.. or Mayor Bloomberg.

[farminator3000]

34. they like the YMCA?

will the village people play their annual conference?

[Dems to Win]

36. Next time, NRA, be sure to include 'DUer Dems to Win'

I have to be satisfied that I'm a member of half a dozen of these organizations, but really I want individual recognition. Kinda hurts my feelings, as if I've not done enough to be considered an enemy of the NRA.

I loathe the NRA with the heat of a thousand suns. I'm disgusted that I share a country with their members. I'm sickened to see them heckle Newtown parents, and I'm sickened to see them harass those whose loved one's committed suicide with guns, as I've personally witnessed.

I'm an enemy of the NRA, and very proud of that fact.

[ZombieHorde]

37. Hmmmm...I see the NRA is cool with Al-Qaeda. nt

[Ikonoklast]

49. Well, they did lobby for them to be able to purchase firearms in this country.

Birds of a feather...

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. Ok, lemme see, when was the last time

Anybody went to such effort of any consequence? Oh yeah, Nixon.

[spanone]

39. organized, well funded terrorism

edited to add: FUCK THE NRA.

[hpvs522196au]

41. This reeks of McCarthyism

The NRA is a perfect example of the RW's desire to revert back to the Stone Age. Thankfully, more and more Americans are seeing through their BS.

[JDPriestly]

42. I'm definitely on their list.

Maybe it's a badge of honor. And yet, I am not a fanatic about gun control. I do think guns should be registered. We need to find out how criminals get a hold of them. We need to be able to trace the guns criminals use back to their legitimate source. Therefore we need to register guns.

Also, we need gun laws for big cities. Too many guns on the streets = gang warfare, unnecessary deaths, dead kids, grieving families and fear. We shouldn't have to live in that kind of a community.

If the NRA has real solutions that can work, let them bring them forward. More guns will not work. We have more than enough guns already.

[jambo101]

45. Looks like they forgot one of the ten commandments.

The one that says thou shall not kill.

[Buns_of_Fire]

52. They would have had to add the author to their enemies list.

But it would have caused some interesting sermons from the pulpit at Our Lady of the Holy Bushmaster Church.

[mfcorey1]

46. Where is my Saturday group: The Liberal Chit Chatters of 49th Street. We definitely dislike their

actions. Their foolishness is going to get some innocent people killed, again.

[MrScorpio]

47. They could have just made it easier and just typed, "Everybody, except…"

These people just want to see the world burn.

[malaise]

50. Sick and desperate

Fugg 'em!

[mainer]

53. It even includes dead people.

And where's Stephen King? I'm sure he feels left out.

The ACLU has never taken a stand on gun control, to my distress. Yet they're on this list, too.

[hobbit709]

54. I remember when people who were on Nixon's Enemies List were proud to be on it.

Those who didn't make the list were miffed.

[sadbear]

56. Dammit!!!

I don't see sadbear anywhere on that list. And I've been working so hard!!!!

[kentuck]

57. Well, that covers about all of America....

America is on their enemy list.

[UTUSN]

58. LIMBOsevic's ex-employer, Kansas City Royals, made the list!1 Along with Geraldo & Kathy Lee +

Barbra & present and past husbands

[Jarhead1775]

59. misrepresentation

Come on - sensationalism anyone? All the NRA did was keep a list of Gun control advocates. Any business keeps track of who is on their side... talk about blowing things out of proportion and not telling the whole story... Give people ALL the information to make an informed decision.

"After the Journal News published the names and addresses of more than 33,000 legal handgun permit holders, making families, homes and neighborhoods vulnerable to theft and assault, the National Rifle Association decided to hit back. If the intent of the newspaper was to shame those with gun permits living in their community, the NRA has upped the game by publishing the names of gun control advocates all over the country. Many of the names on the list are companies, organizations and individuals that are guarded by armed security."

[Skraxx]

62. NRA vs. The Rest of Humanity

They'd be better off publishing who's NOT on the enemy list. I suspect it would look something like this:

NRA
GOP

[Aerows]

64. It looks like

they are the enemy of everyone that is sick and tired of watching people get gunned down. Can't you carry pepper spray instead, or bear spray? Hell, hornet and wasp killer will stop a wrongdoer in their tracks without killing them.

[underpants]

69. WHOA! ..... the AMA?? Oh the right turns on itself

Yikes

[underpants]

70. National Association of Police Organizations AND those stinkin' PEDIATRICIANS!!!

[OldDem2012]

71. Can you write in your own name? nt.

[mainer]

75. The NRA's going to be boycotting doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers...

health insurance companies, Methodists, Episcopalians, Catholics, Rabbis, the PTA, and the YMCA.

No school or health care for them. Works for me.

[lastlib]

77. Now WHY would the American Psychological Assoc. be their enemy??!?
