The only obstacle we have to overcome is that we have a group of 300,000 individuals, many of whom just don't get that unity is strength, and actively advocate against a single collective that has the ability to become a major force in the political landscape that cannot be ignored and won't sit quietly and bleed to death, instead fighting for legitimate firearms use, and stopping the rot that is seeing us lose whole shooting disciplines at the stroke of a pen.

The flaw in your argument is that you expect all shooter tos pay for advocacy for only one aspect of shooting.
By contributing financially to COLFO I put my money into a group that advocates for all shooters.

Honestly, as I've written previously, I support hunters but not with my hard earned money.
I don't expect hunters to fund target shooters like me and can't understand with others think I should fund hunters.
It isn't about working together, it's about being fair and reasonable.

I'll work with and for hunters, target shooters, sports shooters, for fair rules and legislation that benefit all.
