Had no idea about this. Just signed up to donate to 2A Foundation. Thanks for posting...

SAF has been my choice for the last couple of years, before that it was Appleseed. Shocked Amazon hasn't eliminated any Pro-2A organizations from the available list of charities.

Amazon does sell a lot of 2A supplies through the platform.

I chose SAF a long time ago.

Amazing. I had no idea this was an option.

Thank you! Done!

Amazon annually sells (or facilitates the selling of) hundreds of millions of dollars of shooting-related products. Everything but the guns, mags, and ammo. 2A-oriented products are a very non-trivial part of their revenue. If they explicitly canceled SAF or the like, it would come back to haunt them.

Amazon Smile has been out there for many years, but an occasional reminder to the MDS folks here is probably needed and welcome. There's always new folks, or folks who never heard about it in the first place.

I've also had my Amazon smile donations earmarked for SAF for a few years now. I wish Midway would offer to let their "roundup" donation scheme also be directed at SAF and GOA rather than NRA.

So are we basically done with NRA and WLP? Maybe just my ignorance on national 2a advocacy but what do they do for us? Im tired of seeing their spam promos for donations but nothing else from them in the way of 2a support. I would love to see some news on something significant.

I have as well and I agree!

Same and agree on round-ups for a variety of groups.

Nothing from me until they sort the WLP/TopheavyBoD mess.

NRA PVF or ILA is probably worth a donation, if only to keep the fence-sitters in office nervous. But I'll put my money elsewhere for the present.
