...What is the point of the NRA list? (click here) Nixon’s enemies list was for private, political purposes. He ordered his aides to sic the IRS on former L.A. Times Publisher Otis Chandler, for example, and to check on whether Chandler’s gardener was, in Nixon’s word, a “wetback.” (The Times is on the NRA’s list too, although it’s still called “Times-Mirror,” a name it hasn’t borne for a dozen years. The cobwebby Blue Chip Stamps company is on the NRA’s list too. Maybe I should have checked to see whether the Atwater Kent radio company was there. That’s some long memory. Maybe Blue Chip Stamps didn’t let you redeem them for guns?)...
The fact of the matter is The NRA Protest List is more of an honor than a dishonor. I mean get real, already.
There is no defensible reason for the NRA protest list. There really isn't.
Somehow, citizens are suppose to turn their back on the murders in the USA. Is that it? Look the other way. That is not only unreasonable, it is unconscionable. The NRA looks the other way far too much.

"If a gun buyback program is offered exclusively as an end state, without consideration of other programs, such as prevention and intervention, I think we would be missing the mark," Police Chief Phillip Sanchez said Monday during a special meeting of the city's Public Safety Committee.
