If every licenced firearm owner was prepared to part with $1 per week, we could collectively fund an advocacy group to the time of $15.6 million annually. If we could each give up the oft touted 'one coffee a week', we'd be flush to the tune of $70m per year! That is a healthy fighting fund, and invested wisely, could really make a difference.
The only obstacle we have to overcome is that we have a group of 300,000 individuals, many of whom just don't get that unity is strength, and actively advocate against a single collective that has the ability to become a major force in the political landscape that cannot be ignored and won't sit quietly and bleed to death, instead fighting for legitimate firearms use, and stopping the rot that is seeing us lose whole shooting disciplines at the stroke of a pen.
