Caught this not so veiled request for money.
And what also struck me as interesting (and damned proof of Astroturfing) was that after 41 minutes, they only had 2 (two) replies, none saying they contributed and one complaining about the racial profile of the group. Usually when the post something, the replies are almost immediate and plentiful, specially if they can insult and threaten Gun Owners. But when they ask for money, they get crickets and a Social Justice Warrior, no cash.
We’ll see what happens…
The communist do gooders (sic) can jump off a cliff, this might make them feel better about their selves. The responsible owners and advocates of the 2A will continue to be the righteous owners they have always been.
One size does not fit all.
Have they started selling their mailing list yet? That’s what the Brady bunch did when they fell on hard times.
If so, where can I get it?
Isn’t Bloomberg now pouring his money into The Trace rather CSGV?
Bloomberg’s people will consider anybody else competition and will fight them. That happened after Sandy Hook when they got in a tiff with Brady about collecting Hollywood celebrities.
Racial profile of CSGV? I see their token person of color. Isn’t that how all socialist organizations operate?

How’d they find so many Hobbits? Tricksy Hobbitses!
[…] Is CSGV in economic trouble? Also, evidence of astroturf. […]
So… how many full-time staffers does the NRA have?
And how often do they have to pass the hat?
So many women, doesn’t surprise me that they’re all young and white
That’s a good point — they mention ten full-time staffers, but not ten salaried staffers. Frankly, I’m shocked that CSGV thinks it needs 10 people on staff.
in 2010 the NRA reported that it had 781 full time employees,
