NRA's list of enemies includes Britney
This was a bit too old for the "GUNS IN THE NEWS" threads, so here it is. More fun from the wackos at the Nuts Ruining America.

The only "informational purpose" I get out of this is how Nixonian the NRA has become. - Wayne

NRA's list of enemies includes Britney

By ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

RICHMOND, Va. --
What do Britney Spears, the United Methodist Church, the St. Louis Rams and Hallmark Cards have in common? They're among the hundreds of celebrities, organizations and companies on the National Rifle Association's roster of entities that it considers hostile to gun-ownership rights.

The Fairfax-based NRA has compiled a 15-page list of supporters of the Brady law - which requires federally licensed gun dealers to do background checks on gun buyers - and other gun-control measures.

NRA spokesman Ted Novin said the list was solely for "informational purposes and that it's nothing new."

"It's a good way for our members to know who's opposing their Second Amendment rights and who's not," he said.

2. Britney Is Harmless
The Nuts Ruining America are dangerous, IMHO.

3. Enemies
I consider the Brady Bunch infinitely more dangerous to my rights than the NRA.

4. Any Organization.....
...with both Wayne LaPierre and Ted Nugent as leaders deserves to be run out of business.

5. I thought that...
...Britney was the evil mastermind behind the entire anti-gun conspiracy. Aided by the equally evil but diabolically brilliant Jessica Simpson.

6. Nothing could show
as graphically what a winning issue gun control is as the NRA's enemies list....just about every group of decent people in America is on it.

What's even funnier is that the ONLY public voice I was able to find raised in suppport of these racist asswipes and their enemies list came from ACTUAL Nazis:

"Note that the Jewish groups named are not surprised at being called anti-gun, because they are anti-gun, so what are the Jews complaining about again? Are they just writing the article in an attempt to demonize the NRA, while having no substance to it?"

Nice playmates the NRA's got, eh?

9. But they love their guns, yesireee
Those are the only people I can find DEFENDING the NRA and their hate list...spooky, no?

When Republicans talk about "left wing extremists" they mean people who think we ought to have nationalized health care and free school lunches....

When Democrats talk about right wing extremists, we mean folks like that.

10. Yes, but will the NRA hole up in their bunkers if
the "anti-gun" Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl?

As another columnist pointed out, they're still petrified of Dear Abby, and she's been dead nearly five years.

Last I heard, her twin sister Abigail Van Buren was suffering from Alzheimer's.

13. Long before I found out they were twin sisters
I used to get those two mixed up....

Either way, one was on the NRA enemies list long after she was dead. So was Rosemary Clooney....think of poor Charlton Heston nervously clutching his pistol, hiding behind his couch, afraid that any minute Rosemary Clooney is going to bust through the door and seize his firearm....not knowing she's dead....it's tragic to think about.

26. Yes, it is
Edited on Mon Jan-12-04 12:16 PM by Superfly
Yeah, it's an N frame. Not a concealed carry piece by any stretch, but a superbly adequate firearm to deal with the .357 Mag.

27. Sums it up nicely....
"Fetishism falls under the general category of paraphilias, “abnormal or unnatural attraction.” Fetishism is a fixation on an inanimate object or body part that is not primarily sexual in nature, and the compulsive need for its use in order to obtain sexual gratification. Inanimate object fetishes can be categorized into two types: form fetishes and media fetishes. In a form fetish, it is the object and its shape that are important....Inanimate object fetishists often collect the object of their favor, and may go to great lengths, including theft...Fetishists may use any object for sexual gratification....For some, merely a picture of the fetish object may suffice in arousing the fetishists though most prefer or require the actual object."
