NRA's List of Enemies Includes Britney
"NRA's List of Enemies Includes Britney
By ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - 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."

1. Oops, she did it again!
Is Britney on the list because it turned out that her blink-and-you'll-miss-it marriage turned out not to be a "shotgun wedding?"

;-)

(And what on earth is an NFL team -- two of them, actually -- doing on the list? They're not normally known as hotbeds of liberalism. Well, that's almost -- but not quite -- enough to get me to forgive the Rams for abandoning L.A., where they used to be my "hometown team.")

3. That's nothing!
The Bushit list of enemies has the names of 275 million American
citizens on it (minus a few thousand rich bastards).

The NRA is the least of my worries. I own guns but am not a member
because they support Bushit. I do know several members, and they are
starting to wake up about this idiot in charge.

6. Guns
Yep, I'm afraid so. Free thinking, consistent Republicans I know who despised Clinton see Bushco as the worst threat to America in modern history. Get the guns while you can with ammunition, spare parts, and appropriate safety training.

10. I've got mine
My father taught me well about how to handle and respect guns.
Thanks to Dick "I Am Really A Crook" Nixon, the US Army helped
me even more during Vietnam. Let the draft-dodging Bushits try to
force their Nazi state on us. Do they realize that there are millions
of old vets out there mad as hell at their sorry asses? He thinks
we're all asleep. The word is spreading folks!!

9. Where did you get that idea?
That's the first I have heard of such a plan. Where did you hear it from?

7. "and other gun-control measures."
Do you know what the "other gun-control measures" are and do you agree with them?

8. Question
I guess my question for the government, any regime here, is this: what do you have in store for all of us that requires complete disarmament of the citizens?
