And last year, I ran a hunting event at my farm, where I had 9 different WWP Alumni hunting on 21 different days. Some of them even <gasp> shot and killed things.

WWP isn't a perfect organization, but never for a moment have I gotten the impression that they are anti-gun. Not only have they enthusiastically supported my events, they have contributed (money and swag), and provided the participants. It must be part of their "stealth anti-gun" program.

There's a difference between not wanting to license your logo on something and being against it in general. I don't for a minute believe WWP or most of its supporters or organizers are anti-gun but I can understand why they wouldn't want their logo on a bunch of AR lowers. They are trying to appeal to a broader public, most of whom aren't shooters and don't have any understanding about shooting or shooting culture. Heck, even those of us immersed in it will disagree on shooting "culture" -- why would you expect some namby-pamby NPR-listening PBS-watching "organizer" to understand (even as your trying to get her to donate $20 to help some of our guys and gals get on with lives that were interrupted protecting HER way of life)?

I don't believe for a second they are anti-gun. One of the most common things they do is host hunting trips for wounded vets. In fact, I know of a large property near Westcliffe that was just purchased to be used for rehabilitating vets through hunting, outdoors and small town relaxation.

I suspect this is simply about WWP not wanting to co-brand.

I will do more research on this.
There are tons of other organizations to support our vets who are pro 2A.

I blame the farmers for growing the grain that is used to make the beer that you are drinking!

Sorry, thinking like a lawyer for some reason today.

I thought the 80's established that already ...no that was no more family farming, my bad.

Church Says Wounded Warrior Project Refused Their Money

Yet another reason why Homes For Our Troops is a much better org.

Independent donors...? Hey, Trace Adkins told me $19/mo can help my fellow veterans out. Between that and the ASPCA and those starving kids in Africa I can't decide who is worthy of my $19.
