Following up on a post in another thread, FWIW here's what I've found so far with respect to alternative organizations to the NRA. (I also included similar info for the NRA for comparison.) Please chime in if you have more info on these organizations, if I have made a mistake, or if you have other options I should consider. All dollar values are rounded and information is based solely on available tax returns. I'm not anti-2A - I'm an NRA Life Member and I've contributed money to almost all of these organizations.
