On the Money

As for me, I have increased my membership to patron. I will make extra donations to the NRA so they have what they need to fight back with. Mr. C, would it help to make extra donations to GOA, CCKBA, etc or just the NRA? [More]

I typically stay out of comments under my articles -- I figure I've had my say, and now it's time for the readers to have theirs. At times I make exceptions if it looks like clarification or a direct answer is appropriate, but otherwise I steer clear -- even though the temptation to defend myself is sometimes great.

What I more often do is post comments meriting further discussion here, where a wider readership can see them, and also to keep from derailing the conversation I'm inviting readers to have under my article.

It's no secret that even though I'm an NRA Life member, I gravitate toward GOA more than any other national group.  That said, as this question relates to responding to legal attacks, I'd make sure to earmark such donations to help fill the legal warchest of whichever group, not just give to the organization as a whole.

So if this article inspired a donation to NRA, make it to the Civil Rights Defense Fund. CCRKBA has a different mission, one of education -- the "legal" arm for court challenges is SAF.  GOA does its legal work though Gun Owners Foundation.

And as we saw in last night's late-breaking story from Nevada, some of the most critical work is being done at the state level. Find your state group(s) and see where they need help.

While money is critical, don't forget: So is participation.
