Are you on the NRA's blacklist?

There are some things I run across in the course of a day that are far too good to pass up -- this is definitely one of them. I came across a list of organizations apparently blacklisted by the NRA for having supported 'anti-gun' legislation. The list is lengthy, including organizations, people and media, but I thought I'd highlight just a few of the organizations that they are targeting:

- AARP
- American Academy of Pediatrics
- American Federation of Teachers
- American Medical Association
- American Bar Association
- American Nurses Association
- Children's Defense Fund
- NAACP
- Southern Christian Leadership Conference
- Unitarian Universalist Association
- United States Catholic Conference
- United Methodist Church
- The YWCA of the USA

My question is this: what type of organization thinks it's a good idea to blacklist the Children's Defense Fund? In addition, you would think that if all of these organizations oppose your views in some way it might prompt you to wonder if you're on the right side of these issues. Take a look at the list yourself though, you never know when you or an organization you work for might show up... :)
