The Kansas City Royals made the NRA Enemies list!

[Pitt Gorilla]

That trade for Shields is making everyone feel a bit threatened.

Because it’s the winter and because the Super Bowl is in a couple of days, there is NO baseball news happening. Really, not even crappy players signing one-year contracts to avoid arbitration. We’re desperate here!

Thank God, then, for the NRA. A few minutes ago I saw people tweeting about the “enemies list” they apparently keep. In the NRA’s parlance, a list of “National Organizations with Anti-Gun Policies.” Which, sure, if you’re an advocacy group you understandably want to keep a list of people who oppose your agenda, so fair enough. But the list is pretty hilarious, mostly because it goes way beyond actual opposition groups who work to counter the NRA’s agenda and seems to include just about anyone who has ever had a thought about gun ownership that runs counter to the NRA.

Indeed, it has a list of “celebrities” — and since Louie Anderson is on it, that term is defined EXTREMELY loosely. Heck, it has two “Family Feud” hosts on there and doesn’t even include Richard Dawson or Ray Combs. And don’t give me that “because they’re dead!” baloney. Nora Ephron is on the list and she’s dead. Boyz II Men is on the list and they’ve been dead since the early 90s.

Anyway, if you scroll down the list long enough — and you really should — you get to this one:

Kansas City Royals
David Glass, CEO
P.O. Box 419969
Kansas City, MO 64141
Pro Baseball Team

Which, I don’t even know. The Royals haven’t been a threat to anything and haven’t stood for anything since at least the late 80s. But I guess their pitching staffs for the last 20 years have shown an institutional aversion to high caliber firepower, but that’s stretching it a bit. Really, I’m perplexed. Worth noting while we’re at it that former MLBer Mike Torrez is on the list too. Guessing lots of bitter fans of the 1978 Red Sox are in the NRA.

But I’m not gonna worry about offending the NRA about this. Because if you scroll down even further you get here:

National Broadcasting Company
NBC Television Network
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10112

Anyway, it’s a fun read, and that’s the case no matter how you feel about gun ownership. Indeed, if you’re pro gun-ownership this list should make you laugh even more. I mean, if you’re prepared to shoot an intruder in your own home, how threatened are you by Art Garfunkel?

Yea, but can you blame them? The Royals really do suck that bad.

And in related news, ACORN just reached out to the NRA to find out where Nora's last known residence was so they could register her to vote in 2014.

Looks to be used appropriately here as well.

...Second, at least some of the folks on the NRA list are dead – which rings familiar to the persistent rumors that many of the NRA “Life” Members are dead as well.

Some of the names on the list

Louis Anderson - Comedian
Maya Angelou - Poet
Richard Dreyfus - Actor
Art Garfunkel - Singer
Leonard Nimoy - Actor
Mary Lou Retton - Former Olympian
Jerry Seinfeld - Actor
Patrick Stewart - Actor
Dick Van Dyke - Actor

A poet, a folk singer, and an alien from the 60s

Don't know which is my favorite part, the woman talking about the intruder shooting where gun used would remain legal even under the proposed bans, or when she says a woman wants an AR-15 because they "look scary." HAHAHA, isn't that what you guys love to tease guns control advocates for??? "It looks scary, ban it!" Also, an honorable mention to her and Graham testifying to the endless capacity of looting rapists a gang can hold, very informative.

Huh? Looks like Wayne was for it before he was against it.

Supposedly the Chiefs are on the list too. It's because they both opposed people being able to conceal carry inside the stadiums.

[Prison Bitch]

Chiefs are on it because they got rid of the Pistol.
