I would encourage folk to do what they can to help on their own, but I don't think some sort of organized help from the COAR15 community is a good idea as it'll be seen as some sort of admission of guilt on the part of all law abiding gun owners.
Yeah, I'm a cynic, but its a real effin' cynical world.
I don't see it as an admission of guilt; that's like everyone donating to the fire victims admitting guilt for having a camp fire at some time.
I see where you're coming from but I think we should do whatever we can.
