The National Rifle Association (NRA) recently released a list of gun control advocates.
According to the list, these people and companies have given money and/or support to gun control measures and/or organizations such as the Brady Act and the Clinton assault weapons ban, reports the Daily Mail.
According to the NRA, celebrities who believe in some sort of gun control in America (the most violent industrialized nation) include: Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone, Dick Van Dyke, George Clooney and Lauren Bacall.
The NRA claims that these businesses support gun control in an effort to reduce deaths: National Spinal Cord Injury Association, the American Medical Association, Levi Strauss & Co., Hallmark Cards, Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, Ben & Jerry`s and the American Association of Retired Persons.
The NRA also listed the Episcopal Church-Washington Office, Kansas City Royals baseball team, Gannet Publications, the New York Times and Motorcycle Cruiser Magazine.

I still remember the anti-gun segment on their show years ago.
motorcycle cruiser magazine?
1. are they even around anymore? who even heard of them?
2. who are they owned by, bloomberg?
3. no way they are a real motocycle group related. Even platinum card riders can’t be part of that. It must be the same group that has the second is only for hunting magazine doofuses.
Not Vinnie Testaverde?!
And- All four Zappa kids?!
Say it ain’t so.
many of those actors and actresses are not even US citizens.
many of those organizations are actually communist front groups left over the cold war. (not on the list is the National Lawyers Guild which is an outright communist group for lawyers)
“Uh, they need to update that list of “celebrities”. Several are dead.”
It doesn’t matter. The dead have been voting Democrat for over 100 years after physical death.
> Why should their opinions count for the rest of us who live considerably different and relatively underfunded lives?
Their opinions count because they have a large following of fans and admirers who blindly ape them.
Whenever something is on the news, the first thing I think of is "I wonder what Hal Linden's opinion is on this issue?"
Don't we all?
Hey! Us geezers need inexpensive clothing!
Two/three weeks before every card-sending holiday send out a chain email reminding gun owners that Hallmark is anti-gun.
100 million lost customers would screw them pretty good.
There are hundreds of other card makers out there, so nobody has to give anything up.
