It seems that every e-mail about fighting gun control I click on asks me to send them lots of money to preserve my rights. Whose pockets am I lining if I do? Which are legit and which are scams?

[rktman]

I saw on the Firearms Coalition site a place asking for donations much as we do with FR but no demand that I saw. It looks like you click on the bill and can comment from there. Did I miss something? I’ll go back and check.

Molon labe.

[rktman]

Certain names “semi-automatically” predispose one to render a loud and hearty NO! A lot of those name appear on the bills listed.

Molon labe.

[grobdriver]

Yeah - and you don't even have to pay attention to the name.
Just see if the Sponsor is a Democrat - if so it's bound to be an anti-2A bill regardless of the misleading bill title.

e.g. "NRA Members' Gun Safety Act of 2013"
Sheeesh!

Went back and made a comment and never got asked for a penny. Not that I have any pennies left.
