Hello TFR,

The following comes from an initial announcement I made in the New Gun Control Information and (very, very civil) Discussion Thread (you should probably be reading this thread, if you aren't already). I'll come back later tonight to clean up and add more, etc.

I'd like to put some weight (in the form of money and support) behind an initiative to help push against certain things (legislatively) that might come down the road. Many options have been mentioned in this thread before, like joining the NRA, the SAF, the FPC, and other organizations. I'm going to do that. "Lifetime membership" in the SAF (where I'm leaning right now) is only $150. That's not a ton of money for me (thankfully I have a good job right now) to spend on this particular issue. However, I'd like to give them more. I'm sure I can do that, but I'd also like to simultaneously broaden the membership and get more individuals interested in supporting SAF as well, in addition to helping fund them. So, to that end, here's what I'm proposing, for TFR goons only:

Starting in February, in each month of 2013, I will purchase as a gift a "lifetime membership" in the SAF at the $150 USD level, for one randomly selected TFR goon who puts forth their SA name as someone who would like to be entered into the lottery. I need at least 11 TFR goons to say "please add me to the list" in this thread to start. Please only submit your name if you aren't already a member of the SAF. I'll update this post here as I can with a list of all current submissions.

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT POST SUBMISSIONS FOR THIS LOTTERY IN THE GUN CONTROL INFORMATION/DISCUSSION THREAD. I created this thread in order to reduce the thread clutter in that one, since a lot of people were interested (more than I thought! Yay!).

February 2013 Drawing Details
  • Date: TODAY! February 14, 2013 -- Valentine's Day!
  • Drawing Winner: bigpolar
  • Hazborgufen's Gift Match Drawing Winner: stik

February winners, please get in touch with me via PM and/or this thread. Thanks!


February Gift Match!

Hazborgufen posted:

Hey mnd, I'm already a life member of the SAF but I frequently throw some extra money their way, especially in light of their work in Illinois. If you wouldn't mind, please draw a second name in the February drawing. I will purchase a gift $150 lifetime membership in the SAF for the second person you draw in the month of February.
For February's drawing, Hazborgufen has generously offered to purchase a $150 USD SAF lifetime membership for a second drawn name. Two goons will win in one month! Please thank Hazborgufen for "gift-matching" February's drawing!

March 2013 Drawing Update: Now taking new entries for March's drawing! Keep in mind: you don't need to re-enter if you already signed up for February. You'll either be a Lucky Winner, or will be automatically rolled over into March's drawing. New folks should feel free to enter for March (and subsequent months), and those goons whose names appear in the "March preliminary entrants" list with ? marks before their name should post in the thread or PM me to confirm they want to be entered into the lottery.

Thanks!

I might just go ahead and get a membership myself in a couple of days, but add me to the lotto for now. I'll amend this post if I get my own membership.

Thanks everyone. Keep the new entries coming.

Note that if you said you wanted to be entered into the lottery back in the gun control information/discussion thread before things moved over here (or PM'd me, etc.), you're still in. I'll make sure to collect all the entries from before this separate thread started.

Dammit, Juice, I was thinking of doing the same thing for a non-goon acquaintance of mine.
