Celebrities that the NRA believes are hostile to the second amendment

I always thought Danny Glover was behind that. He wasn't on the list either.

But he belongs on it.

Being an NRA list some are going to be missed.  As much as some say the NRA is over reactive and vicious, they do try to be as accurate as possible before putting stuff like this out.  That would explain why some are missed.

I agree that Mel Gibson & Danny Glover belong on the list.  Yet, regarding the _Lethal Weapon_ movies, the antigun messages splattered through them are the work the director Richard Donner (who is on the list).  Donner has a long history of antigun agitprop going back to his work as a TV director in the early 1960s. 

For instance, for the old _Fugitive_ series, Donner directed a blatantly antigun piece of trash episode about two 12 year olds who order a rifle through the mail (as Oswald was alleged to do) and stir up trouble in their little town as they try to capture Richard Kimble with it.  Of course, Kimble gets away.  The story ends with one character, a law enforcement officer, making a speech how buying guns this way should be illegal.  It was soon to be.  The title of the episode of is "In a Plain Paper Wrapper."  It first aired 19 April 1966.  (Source: IMDB.) 

Note the year 1966 was the first time the Congress seriously approached voting on the law the would become the Gun Control Act of 1968.  I doubt it was a coincidence that as the proposal was before Congress in 1966 that the antigun hooligans took to the airwaves with their propaganda through the guise of entertainment.  It is for this reason the NRA list matters.  Some of the people on it may be has-beens, but they reflect the reality the entertainment industry is no friend of the 2nd Amendment.

That was discussed quite a while back (not that is wrong for you to bring it back up).  However, there was some question as to his feelings about the general public and guns.  Can't remember how it came out, but at least he helped the department.

Yes, The cops said they needed them but the city (I think it was Phoenix) said they could not afford them so Spade bought them and donated them. I never liked him but I thought that was pretty cool. That's how America USED to be, if something was needed the people got together and got it done. Now they run to Nanny gov.

Occasionally I will quote a dem., JFK, "Ask not what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your Country."

Think of all the wrongs that could be righted, and the abuses that could be eliminated if we adopted that ethic

Today they preffer to "ask not what you can do for your country, ask whats in it for ME.
