Yup! AAR and Gun Talk used to be big supporters but both put out notices several years ago to not support them.

There's other organizations if you want to support injured veterans.

When gun organization pulled their support for WWP they started advertising on TV, a lot.

Apparently they forgot what those veterans got wounded fighting for.

Not to mention they spend a LOT of their income on non-charity expenses.

And go out of their way to take small state programs trying to help veterans to court over little things like using a silhouette of military personnel in their logo, or the words wounded and or warrior in their name.

Sounds like they've taken a queue from the Komen foundation.

that FB post was in 2012.  this is not new news (to me).  there are PLENTY of other groups that support a wounded veteran's right to bear arms.
