Do we *do* anything here? Or just talk?

Does pafoa have any presence in the state government as a "special interest group" or "lobbying agency?" It seems like the perfect candidate as a donor funded local organization. What's the structure? Is there a directorship? Is there any way to put my money into poofa and contribute to legislative influence?

Not that I'm aware of, we channel our efforts through GOA, NRA, FOAC, et al.

Well, what the fuck? Here we are, an amassed group of like minded individuals with at least one vested interest.. Why are we not using this as a vehicle?

What I'm saying is, I'd give $20/month to pafoa if they had a dedicated group of individuals (employees) who spent their time in Harrisburg getting the ears of our reps. Or buying billboards on the turnpike, or local access/news commercial spots. "We're here, we're armed, get used to it" messaging. Hell I'll quit my job and do it, I've got a degree in history and a poli Sci minor, I'm already qualified.

Seriously though who runs this? It seems like a squandered opportunity to effect real action. We are the 5th most populous state in the country. Almost 13 million people and 10% of us are ltcf holders. 1.3 million voters with a common interest, party affiliation or personal attachments to other causes notwithstanding. 1.3 million Pennsylvanians who believe in their 2A rights. That is a massive demographic and I feel like its marginalized to other interests that aren't constitutionally enumerated.

Any monetary donations can be sent to :
Manxdriver1
868 W Street Rd
Suite 304
Warminster, PA 18974

I can assure you ALL monies collected will be used for firearms, ammo, snacks, and gas for range visits. At the very least, I can assure you I will be wearing a gun while spending any money you send.

Kudos to the OP for raising an OUTSTANDING idea! If it gets put together, I will support it.

It's refreshing to see the general sarcasm and apathetic responses this has generated. No wonder we keep electing Wolf, evidently the gun community doesn't give a fuck beyond their own door.

You must be new here.

This thread is insulting.
