3. I'll bet a lot of the list hasn't been updated since the Brady era

LaPierre's video game references in his press conference were mostly from the early 1990s. I thought it was just a sign that they are way behind the times and still fighting the battles of the past. Though now that I think about it, perhaps it was an attempt to slightly mitigate the damage done to the gaming demographic by choosing to target video games. Picking games few of today's gamers had ever played might have been a calculated move.

In any event, while perusing the list, I was curious what the hell 'The Synergetic Society' was. You get some hits for 'synergetics,' but nothing about a society. The organization doesn't seem to be around now, or at least not easily google-able, which doesn't sound very synergy-ey to me.

My guess is it hasn't been around for a long time. The list seems just a compendium of whomever they've been pissed off at any one time over many years.
