It's in the Leftist Playbook - figure out names to hide what you are really doing.
Most often used in Legislation - like the Affordable Care Act.

Neither "affordable" or "care".
Then it's the "Un-affordable, I don't care act"

Yes, the list has such anti-gun groups like the American Trauma Assc., the American Nurses Assc., and Congress of Neurological Surgeons...gee I wonder if these and other medical associations are against guns because they see victims of gun violence everyday..

But I digress because other organizations that have the pro-gun lobby shaking in their boots are the Gray Panthers, National Safe Children's Campaign and the YWCA.


What idiocy.

What they don't realize is most of the wealthy elites in Wall Street, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley voted for Hillary in 2016 and support Democrats.
Trump hired Goldman Sachs into his fold and yes corporations benefitted far more than the middle class from the tax cuts.

Good for you but that doesn't change the fact that a large majority of voters want stricter gun laws. The NRA and gun manufacturers have controlled congress through their power but don't expect a large boycott of anyone on this list.

A lot of my pro-2ndA friends want to stop doing business and supporting these organizations and companies. Others, like me know that the anti gun nuts are everywhere and we just cant stop doing business as usual. Our portfolios will all go to hell

I am stopping all of the significant donations to the several orgs that I used to support that are on the list and letting them all know why. I am also letting my friends know to do the same

I hope that you do the same

Anti-Gun Companies and Organizations – National Gun News
Thank you for posting the list. I carry but I am virulently anti-NRA. They’re a cancer on society.

I already support some of these organizations.

Other than Ben & Jerry's and Sara Lee, that was a useless list in terms of boycotts.
