Give us money.

That was also their reaction to the VA Tech shooting.

    So…where do we send money for the good guys to combat the money of the bad guys?

    I got the email from them about an hour after cert was granted. I tried to donate 23 cents, but they had a minimum donation of $5. Bummer.

    In some ways, it’s not entirely the same. I’m not saying that if this happened in July that they wouldn’t be doing this kind of fundraiser, but it’s important to note that this is the week of Thanksgiving.

    Nearly half of all charitable giving happens between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. They are raising money for their (c)(3), which is the division that stands to benefit the most from time end of the year begging. My guess is that while it may not have been as ambitious a goal, they would have been soliciting soon anyway. It’s just the nature of non-profits.

    That said, look for far more ambitious campaigns from all the pro-gun groups and their (c)(3)s. In that regard, the Supreme Court fall schedule can be the best thing that happens to non-profits on various issues going before the Court.

    On an unrelated note:
    People freak out about the Wii Zapper, something that barely even looks like a gun.

    Last month the city of Springfield, Mass., sponsored a toy gun buy-back, offering free ice cream to the 50 children who relinquished squirt guns and fake laser pistols.

    The history of objections to toy guns is almost as long as the history of the toy, from Rose Simone, concerned Chicago citizen, who organized toy-gun-burning bonfires in 1934-35, to state senators in New Jersey who are stumping for a statewide ban on selling imitation firearms to those younger than 18.

    I thought the evil gun lobby was supposed to be sending us money?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
