I seem to remember years ago American Rifleman posted a list of companies that were gun un-friendly. Does anyone have this list or is there an updated list?

Uhhh... that seems like a misnomer to me. Why would the ABA be anti-gun? Isn't that like 90% of their business And the ACLU, let's look at that name "Civil Liberties". That's a contradiction.
Upon further inspection, there are A LOT of contradictions. Actors that are anti-gun, yet continuosly play in roles where guns are a major factor. Some I can understand from past media coverage, others I can't wrap my mind around. Take David Duchovny as an example. He spent 9 years toting around a gun as an FBI agent in X-Files and he's anti-gun. Benjamin Bratt, did how many years as a NY cop in "Law & Order" and now plays a Lt. on "E-Ring". Spike Lee?! Weren't most of his movies about gangs and guns in the early 90's, and I don't think any of them were about a positive spin on guns. Willie Nelson?!?!?!

If you want to personally "boycott" or maintain a black-list of every single person, organization, company or business that at one time or another has in any way, shape or form indicated even a mildly anti-gun political stance -- I submit that you'd better be prepared to: spend all your free time reseaching companies' and entertainers' politics, quit wearing Levi's, stop shopping at Safeway, quit drinking any beer except that swill Budweiser, restrict your TV viewing to re-runs of Magnum, P.I., stop going to any movies at the cinema whatsoever, cancel your Blockbuster membership and develop a fondness for country music ...
If we really cared about any of this, we'd all have stopped buying Smith & Wesson and Ruger products long ago.

Okay...Sounds good to me. Voting with your wallet is really the only effective tool that consumers have.Old Dog said:Who cares anymore?

"Janie's got a gun" sounds very much to me like an anti-gun song. Maybe that's why.

I haven't examined the lyrics but I think its more about that than anything else.
