Right now my money is going to 2nd Amendment Foundation and GOA, and some round up contributions to NRA.
GOA and 2AF are the ones in the trenches, filing suits and winning cases.
Then I would look around and see who is local.
Firearms Policy Coalition is active in a lot of places also.
As previously mentioned we have a ton of new gun owners from all walks of life. The last year has driven purchases to new records.
The Capitol events have fueled a massive sales spike in CA. These are people who have no idea what kind of war has been waged on the 2A.
They need to be educated, and assisted in their efforts to defend themselves and their 2A rights.
I think lots of politicians act in a vacuum, where they are focused on carrying out their agenda, past and previous without paying attention to the present.
So the 2A enemies will start to roll the same garbage out, without taking into account the events of the last year and the resulting expansion in gun ownership.
I think a bunch of new voices will be heard and people will pay more attention than they did before on the machinations of their representatives. Or I am wrong
and the sheep will remain sheep once things settle down.
PVB:
I went with the 2AF as a member but will keep an eye on GOA too. The 2AF is within striking distance from me and from my recollections of them back in the 80's, they were pretty up front and serious. I think Gottlieb and Ayoob are two pretty focused guys and that gives me some confidence that my money won't be blown.
So, thanks for the post and info.
