I dont know alot about this one but I know of it:

Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
https://www.ccrkba.org/

As a new resident, are there any local/state 2nd Amendment advocacy groups I should be joining? Back home, I was a member of the Association of NJ Rifle and Pistol Clubs and NJ 2nd Amendment Society, the latter of which did more work than the state NRA affiliate (ANJRPC).

The left hates guns and the NRA. That's enough for me. I love contributing to things that makes the left hate and cry and complain.

Took me a moment to find it. Very interesting reading that website. Liked it. Noticed that it has the same address as SAF and CCRKBA. Even has the same director. How many groups is this man involved with?

He's also a professional bow tie model.

SAF and CCRKBA are in Bellevue WA. I donate largest chunks to them and GOA. I am a lifetime NRA member.

Also, my Amazon Prime Smile donation is SAF. Every Prime member should do this.

Wife joined today. :) She is a C&C holder and shooter with training,but she joined today specifically for political and constitutional reason. When we got to the gun show today, she bee-lined for the NRA booth.

If people thought the NRA was the spam king think again. I had joined before the 594 fiasco and weekly I got calls & spammed by mail. I called & talked to a CS rep and he was so arrogant attacking my decision to stop all correspondence (spamming). I told him to just cancel my membership.
I hate being badgered by any organization.

Please educate the unwashed masses, i saw that on SAF's website, clicked on it but all it did is open the main Amazon website.

I'm skeptical but joined the NRA for the first time yesterday... hopefully i don't regret it, lol
donated to SAF as well

The opposition is doing exactly that--smaller voices, locally, winning hearts and minds with smoke & mirrors from silver tongued foxes. They cannot defeat the NRA in DC, the wall is too tall and too vast.

So they are doing the next best thing--slowly, deliberately, digging around the foundation knowing eventually the whole thing will topple over. It's working. NRA needs to peer over the wall and notice it's more than just a beagle going after a squirrel.

Log in to Amazon. Under "Account & Lists," click on "Your AmazonSmile." Here, you can choose your charity. I have chosen the Second Amendment Foundation, and here's what my page shows:



Okay, my 206 orders have only generated $34 . . . but in total, we've sent $65,000 to SAF, and that's money well spent!

Thanks Steve! It's not a ton of money, but when I add it to the $200-$300 a year I send to SAF it adds up.

SAF now needs to get busy. Get out beyond US.

was not that simple for me...
i had to do this:

so pretty much for this "smile" feature to be available i have to log on and shop through smile.amazon.com instead of just amazon.com,

Just save the new smile amazon link as a book mark. Easy.

Trying to follow your steps you have listed I got lost.
So I took the straight forward approach.
Go straight to "smile.amazon.com" and the rest was easy-peasy.
Smile.amazon has now replaced my old Amazon bookmark.
