I seen in todays paper that the NRA has put out their new "black list" of people or organizations that oppose gun ownership and the likes. Several on the list in the paper, were the same old foes, but in the article, it listed sports franchizes such as the Saint Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals.
I immediately got on the NRA website, but could not find anything of a "black list" on there.
Has anyone seen or heard of this list or where it is located? An explanation of some of their reasons to black list entire sport teams with several individuals would be appreciated. I wouldn't think they would speak opinions of members of said organizations, since, some of the opinions of members are usually reminded by the organization that it is not an "opinion" of said organization.
I have never heard of such a list, nor have I seen anything like it. But I have one of my own, and any corp. or organization that I discover is anti-gun, goes on it. I will not patronize or support any outfit that has an anti-gun ownership agenda. Like K-Mart, which once had a great sporting department, and is now about kaput, partly because they caved to the anti-gun s.o.b.'s!

The media has been making a big stink about the blacklist for several months now. I couldn't find anything on the NRA site, but I heard the the Brady Bunch site has a link. Still looking for it as we speak.
its kind of funny how all of these actors and tv stations are on this "list", but most of the actors portay some kind of villan or hero in movies that use guns and glorify violence. as far as the tv stations are concerned, they have these movies and shows on the air. the first link that i clicked on that gave you the option to be on the list, notice what it portrayed the NRA as being. they make it look like they (NRA) ONLY support weapons meant to kill people. they don't show the facts. i can see how someone not really knowing all of the facts would be confused and sign the damn thing.
Here's the actual text preface on the NRA page. It lists organizations and individuals who have supported anti-gun organizations. It doesn't call itself a blacklist nor does it advocate any boycott or other retaliatory actions--It simply lists people and groups who support anti-gun organizations.
Quote:
National Organizations With Anti-Gun Policies
The following organizations have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations. In many instances, these organizations lent their name in support of specific campaigns to pass anti-gun legislation such as the March 1995 HCI "Campaign to Protect Sane Gun Laws." Many of these organizations were listed as "Campaign Partners," for having pledged to fight any efforts to repeal the Brady Act and the Clinton "assault weapons" ban. All have officially endorsed anti-gun positions.
Now the NRABlacklist.com website, on the other hand, calls the NRA webpage a "10-page blacklist" and says "AND LIKE MANY BLACKLISTS, THE PURPOSE IS ALL TOO CLEAR." Interestingly, you can copy/paste from the NRA site but not from the NRABlacklist site. Hmmmmm.

Anyone ever notice that if it supports a conservative cause the media labels it a "black list," but if it supports a liberal cause it's referred to as a "boycott."
The obvious intent is to use polarizing language to taint people's impressions and promote the medias pet causes (media bias, anyone?). "Black list" almost universally prompts a negative emotional response from people while "boycott" makes people feel like they're doing something good, the right thing.
