Stand Up for Freedom: Join the NRA "Good Guys" List

Unless you stand up and be counted, the Brady Campaign and the New York Times will get away with comparing honest gun owners like you to vile criminals like the Washington, D.C. snipers. Please click here to add your name to the NRA "Good Guys" list today.

Sarah Brady and the New York Times have mounted a nationwide campaign to defeat S. 659 - the bill that would block junk lawsuits against the firearms industry.

And you won't believe how they're doing it.

You probably know that the NRA Institute for Legislative Action publishes a fact sheet containing the names of celebrities, activists, and organizations openly opposing your Second Amendment rights.

It's a service we provide to you and every other gun owner across America. You've told us you don't want to put money in the pockets of the people who are trying to abolish the Second Amendment. You've told us you don't want to buy their CDs, go to their movies, or support their careers.

And that's your right. The Constitution guarantees our freedom to associate with whomever we choose, and to speak out against those who would destroy our rights.

But that's not how the radicals over at the Brady Campaign see it. To them, it's a "blacklist." And they've launched a new fundraising web site [www.stopthenra.com] where they attack NRA members simply for exercising our right of free speech.

They've created a database of anti-gun activists - dubbed an "honor roll" - and claim to have signed up more than 10,000 people, with an ultimate goal of 25,000 to join their cause.

That anti-gun "honor roll" is getting a lot of coverage from the New York Times and the rest of the anti-Second Amendment media. In fact, NRA members are essentially being accused of McCarthyism simply for exercising our First Amendment rights!

I think that's outrageous. That's why I need you to add your name to the NRA "Good Guys" list today. It's a list of law-abiding Americans who support the Freedom of Speech and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. [www.nrahq.org/goodguys.asp].

Please click here to add your name to the NRA "Good Guys" list. You don't have to be an NRA member to join the list. You just have to believe in freedom.

Sincerely,

Wayne LaPierre

PLEASE FORWARD THIS LINK TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FELLOW GUN OWNERS. ASK THEM TO STAND UP FOR FREEDOM BY JOINING THE NRA "GOOD GUYS" LIST.

I love how the anti gunners always try to liken us (law-abiding gun owners) to those sick-fuck, weak-shooting pussies who played amateur snipers in DC last year. Then, they ask for money. I guess with all the recent studies out discounting the effects of gun control laws on crime and the waves of liberal lawmakers jumping off the sinking ship of gun control, you could expect the knee-jerk skeeerdey kats to stir up shit.

Both websites are in the text above. If you want, sign whatever list you like. I do have a feeling which list is gonna be larger tho...

cya,

You know, I was just thinking. Here it's friday, and while we have the obligatory Iraq, Bush and gay-rights threads all aflame, no one has started a good old knock-down, drag-out gun thread. Good to see we've kicked one off while there's still time!

Happy to be of service, my dear Bill. Very happy to be of service, indeed...

All of these frivolous lawsuits and judgements against manufacturers of a legal product are disgusting.

I'm an ardent gun rights advocate in most cases. The epithets and lies hurled from/by Mrs. Brady's organization are expected, but are still revolting.

Well, when you can't win the fight fair, aim for the balls, I guess is their thinking.

Actually, that's an old one. (personally, I would have replaced the second "that" with a "who," had I written that.) Nonetheless, it is still true today as it was when it was penned. Thanks for digging that up, wherever you found it.

AN ADVOCATE FOR GUN SAFETY?

At a recent meeting of police chiefs from around the country, Richard Aborn, the former president of Handgun Control, Inc. (now the Brady Campaign) opened the program and introduced the speakers. Speaking at the end of the presentation, Mr. Aborn caused members of the assembled group to stare wide-eyed at him as he pointed—with his finger on the trigger—a semi-automatic pistol at the audience!

This “advocate for gun safety” most assuredly flaunted his ignorance of even the most basic rules of safe gun handling, ignorantly pointing the gun in an unsafe direction, failing to visually inspect the gun’s chamber and not keeping his finger off the trigger. The outspoken gun-rights critic seemingly has little or no practical “hands on” experience in the area for which his background and political position would beg some expertise.

Back-pedaling and sounding more like a child rationalizing his being caught in a wrongful act, Aborn weakly offered, “In demonstrating them, I inadvertently pointed it to show how criminals use them. I instantly realized it was a mistake, and I said so. I was very honest about that.”

Perhaps Mr. Aborn should attend an NRA safety course and learn the rules of safe and proper firearm handling from the real advocates of gun safety.

Simply incredible, yet utterly disgustipating.

No shit, Bill. Misplaced focus run rampant. GO SKYDIVE!

I dunno about a skydive, but it is dark now. "Go JUMP!" might've simply been better.

Apparently, being blacklisted by the NRA is the Hollywood equivalent of plastic surgery - it can do wonders for their image! "Hey, Julia Roberts is on the list. Why don't I join?"

What a great quote! Maybe we could replace it with, "Julia Roberts breaks up marriages. Why do we start!"

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Most blacklists are designed to intimidate. But thousands of Americans are clamoring to join one drawn up by the National Rifle Association.



Actor Dustin Hoffman was so dismayed to find his name missing from the NRA's shadowy 19-page list of U.S. companies, celebrities, and news organizations seen as lending support to anti-gun policies that he wrote to the powerful pro-gun lobby group begging to be included.


"As a supporter of comprehensive anti-gun safety measures, I was deeply disappointed when I discovered my name was not on the list," Hoffman wrote in a letter to the NRA that was released on Tuesday.


"I was particularly surprised by the omission given my opposition to the loophole that makes it legal for 18- to 20-year-olds to buy handguns at gun shows," he added.


Hoffman's name has now been added to the list which reads like a Who's Who of American business, culture and religion and which ranges from the American Jewish Congress to A&M Records, ABC News and talk show queen Oprah Winfrey.


An NRA spokesman could not be reached for comment.


The list was found deep in the official NRA Web site by a group of grass-roots anti-gun campaigners and publicized by them two weeks ago to garner support for two pieces of gun control legislation going through Congress.


The campaigners set up their own Web site (http://www.NRAblacklist.com) and urged Americans to voluntarily put their names there. A full-page ad on Tuesday in Daily Variety -- the Hollywood trade magazine -- urged movie and music artists to sign up.


"What the site tries to do is turn it into a badge of honor to get on the blacklist by saying 'Hey Julia Roberts is on the blacklist. Why don't you join it?.' It's been incredibly successful. Since we have launched, 25,000 people have signed on to ask to be put on the blacklist," said Wendy Katz, spokesperson for the group.


The NRA initially denied compiling a blacklist as such, saying it was merely responding to members wanting to know which individuals and corporations opposed the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment on the right to bear arms.


But National Rifle Association Executive Vice-President Wayne LaPierre said of the list last week; "Our members don't want to buy their songs, don't want to go to their movies, don't want to support their careers."


Katz said the campaigners hoped to expose the NRA's influence in Washington, D.C., spur opposition to a bill that would grant immunity in civil cases for gun manufacturers and dealers, and gather support for renewal of a 1994 ban on the sale of military assault weapons.
