Thanks for this list!

Based on the caliber (no pun intended) of the people and groups on this list, I guess I don't feel too bad not having my name on it!

Seriously, though... Jane Fonda? I've got a picture of her sitting on a particularly large gun. I guess the difference is it was aimed at Americans.

wasn't pam dawber, on the list, killed by a stalker...

she might have been shot, but then, if she had a gun of her own she might have taken out the punk...

to arrive at the 1,000,000 americans killed by gun violence from 1968 to 2001 include all the soldiers dying in armed conflicts and all criminals shot by police and every suicide and victim on television...

Nice.

It is worth reminding everyone that Levi-Strauss makes the Dockers line of clothing as well.

I wonder how many of these anti-gunners have guns themselves.

I also wonder how many of those movie actors have just signed on to the anti-gun list in order to please some subversive socialist movie producer.

I was quite surprised to see Denis Leary on this list. I was under the impression he was of the libertarian bent.

Oh well, he's still pretty funny overall.

To: Grit; All
They forgot the US Attorney General John Ashcroft
and the members of 103d US Congress who "gave" us the unlawful Brady Bill.
Ashcroft has done nothing to challenge this law.


Text of the Second Amendment
"A well regulated Militia
being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."


Anyone who actually reads AND understands the 2nd Amendment will see that there is no need or authority for any type of gun registration and there is no need for anyone to have to apply for a license to carry a gun.
Any political party, politician, judge (etc), organization or individual who trys to convince you that:
1) you must register a firearm
2) you must pass a background check
3) you must wait (x) amount of days before you can get your firearm
4) you need to have a license to carry a gun
is either uneducated about OUR rights as citizens
OR is actively working to undermine OUR country.

How Did the Founders Understand the Second Amendment?

CONGRESS in 1866, 1941 and 1986 REAFFIRMS THE SECOND AMENDMENT
The Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms,
originated in the United States Congress in 1789 before being ratified by the States.
On three occasions since then--in 1866, 1941, and 1986--
Congress enacted statutes to reaffirm this guarantee of personal freedom
and to adopt specific safeguards to enforce it.


ON THE DAY BEFORE Thanksgiving 1993,
the 103d US Congress brought forth a constitutional turkey.
The 103d Congress decided that the Second Amendment did not mean what it said
("...shall not be infringed") and passed the Brady bill.

How the Brady Bill Passed (and subsequently - "Instant Check")
When the Brady Bill was passed into law on November 24, 1993,
the Senate voted on the Conference Report
and passed the Brady Bill by UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

If you take all the Hollyweirdos out, the list is not so long.
Too bad about Sara Lee, though. I've been eating one of her poundcakes every day for decades.

Herman Wouk - Author

What did he do or say, or who did he support? It certainly doesn't sound like something the author of "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" would do. One of his principal characters gets turned into soap and lampshades in the camps. She was a basically non-religous American Jew, married to an American Submarine officer, who was trapped in Italy when the war began. (that's the short version anyway).

I do see him on the stopgunviolence.org site, but they'll count most any statement that doesn't directly contradict their views as supporting them. The list is everywhere, it's not clear that it originated with the NRA, in fact it seems to have come from the anti-arms rights sites.
