Wounded Warrior Project goes anti gun

[Ronin13]

Well then there is this, if you scroll down...

That's funny, because I ran a WWP event at my gun club a couple weeks ago for WWP Alumni (wounded and disabled vets) to spend the day shooting at my club:

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 beer bottles for my drinking.

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.

No more farming! No more farming!

No more farming! No more farming!

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

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.
