George Clooney is among those on the NRA\u2019s list.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The National Rifle Association sure has a lot of enemies, according to a recent \u201cNational Organizations With Anti-Gun Policies\u201d list posted by the powerful gun lobby\u2019s political arm. The list, available on the NRA\u2019s website<\/a>, seeks to expose those who have \u201chave lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations\u201d and \u201chave officially endorsed anti-gun positions.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are 506 organizations and people named, which, as Wonkette points out, means that \u201cit\u2019s virtually impossible not to find something on that list that represents you or something you believe in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Week:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rogues\u2019 gallery includes some unsurprising entries, such as the American Civil Liberties Union. But it seems almost no organization or person has escaped the NRA\u2019s gaze, including the AARP, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, the National Association of Public Hospitals, and the Police Foundation.<\/p>\n

Then there are the \u201cindividuals and celebrities,\u201d which include Boyz II Men, Sean Connery, Geraldo Rivera, Doug Flutie, Barry Manilow, and Sting. There is a long list of Americans who are members of the Brady Campaign\u2019s National Committee, as well as journalists who \u201ceditorialize in favor of gun control laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

The companies listed, with addresses included, feature the Kansas City Chiefs, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Hallmark, Sprint, and Time Warner. Publication and media outlets that \u201chave assisted in the attack on Second Amendment rights\u201d include pretty much every mainstream media outlet, with the notable exceptions of Fox News and The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n
