They are not anti gun, they just really try to watch their image. People wanted to make AR lowers with wwp logos and were told no as well. The last thing they need is the press talking about how much gun money they took and how many suicides they had from guns.
^^^^^^ exactly, I heard the something about the lowers not to long ago as wellQuote:

Dirty broken bottle in an alley, Pipe bomb hug, a can of Lighter fluid and Self immolation. If you want out, there is not really a way to keep you here.
Again the Liberals are trying to blame an inanimate object for actions of people.
I blame beer bottles for my drinking.

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.

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.Quote:

right--not wanting to co-brand with any weapons maker--they must just be a bit too slimy for the WWP--but, they'll sure take money from a gun maker.Quote:

So, I tried to read some of the AR15.com thread. Same as every other thread over there (one or two people who know what they are talking about and a bunch of keyboard commandos.).
Fromm the WWP website.

WWP does not co-brand, create cause marketing campaigns or receive a percentage or a portion of proceeds from companies in which the product or message is sexual, political or religious in nature, or from alcohol or weapon companies.
I'd hardly condemn the WWP as "anti 2A" for not wanting to co-brand with other companies.
Does Thunder Ranch have their knickers in a bunch because of the WWP no branding clause? Looks like a bunch of shit being flung but how much is legit and how much is sour grapes?
As far a bottles and wheat making me want to drink...I blame the plow.
