NRA Publishes Enemies List With 506 Names | ThinkProgress
Late last year, the National Rifle Associations lobbying arm published a Nixonian enemies list naming organizations and individuals that lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations or have otherwise backed efforts to promote gun safety. The list totals 506 names, including major medical associations, law enforcement organizations, former presidents and a long list of celebrities. Here are five examples of the kinds of groups the NRA views as its enemies:

The Gun Lobby's Jewish Enemies List
The National Rifle Association compiled a list of its enemies and it reads like a Jewish whos who list. The list, prepared by the NRAs Institute for Legislative Action includes 506 individuals, organizations, media outlets and corporations that have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations.
The groups listed by the NRA as enemies of the gun-rights cause could easily populate a Conference of Presidents meeting room. They include major Jewish national organizations, including the Anti Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, Bnai Brith, and the Jewish Labor Committee; two major Jewish women organizations: Hadassah and National Council of Jewish Women; and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, which is the Reform movements rabbinical arm.
