re: #449 Political Atheist

Woke up this morning with something I just have to do. In a few days I have my monthly board meeting at a very successful public shooting range. There will be a detailed proposal in my hands, asking our big range to make significant donation to the victims fund. I trust there will be something like that set up soon. I can only hope the gesture will be welcome. I may need to propose it an as anonymous donation.

Would it anger or upset people for a shooting range business to try to help? So much heartache rightly swirls all around this tragedy.

hmmm, I think it would be a bad idea. What would work is a real effort to take part in Real Change. I think it would be viewed as “just throwing money at it”. Those involved would probably rather see some REAL action on the side of the grass roots ‘gun nuts” to reel in the whackos and manufacturers.

That would mean more than one meeting of your organization and lots of arguing and soul searching.

Perhaps a pledge signed by the members would work accompanied by the cash donation?
