I do much of the same. I have given thousands of dollars to the pro-2A cause over the years, both national organizations like the NRA and SAF, and state organizations across the country.

If there's ever a proposed gun control CFR update, I'm writing a letter expressing opposition. If a bill makes it out of committee that even has a hint of gun control...I'm writing a letter and making calls. If there is ever a bill on the governors desk in any state of the Union, I'm making a call. When I hear politicians talking about gun control, I go ahead and write a check to the NRA.

Every winter, I'm front and center at my state's lobbying day. If any gun related bill is on the state house/senate docket for a public hearing...I will be there expressing support or opposition. I help and teach others how to do all of the same.

Most of my advocacy is in recruiting people who consider themselves liberals or progressives into supporting gun ownership. I take them to the range, supply the ammo, and teach them about firearms safety in a positive and safe environment.

Is it worth it? I would say so.
