Putting together some themes from some of the recent threads here, I got to wondering just how many folks here are among the ones funding the anti-gunners? Specifically, the individuals and businesses on the NRA list of anti-gun supporters (the "blacklist"), of which about 90% of the individuals and maybe 25% of the companies are in the entertainment industry (either movies, music, televison, or sports)?
The couple of threads about Netflix got me most thinking about about it, and I've noted a number of other threads in the past that lead me to believe there are a number of active consumers of entertainment industry products here.
Also interesting in this regard was the recent thread about James Whitmore, who was on the Brady Campaign's National Committee, and also actively endorsed Barack Obama, none of which was even passingly noted in the thread.

"Our members don't want to buy their songs, don't want to go to their movies, don't want to support their careers."
