The NRA Blacklist

Apparently the NRA had a secret blacklist of prominent US citizens who supported the anti-gun movement. Some folks got ahold of it, and now a Web site has been started to encourage all citizens, prominent or otherwise, to earn a spot on the list.

I love a good conspiracy theory, so here’s one: I did a search for this story on Google News. Check out the results. Besides ABC Australia, no major news outlets appear to have picked up this story. Maybe it hasn’t broken with the mainstream media yet, but it would seem pretty appealing to the average news agency. After all, it’s got controversy, a hot topic, celebrities…what more could they ask for? How much clout does the NRA wield?
