On last day of MidwayUSA's 4th of July promotion, did my patriotic duty of protecting 2nd Amendment

At midnight tonight, MidwayUSA's Independence Day promotion ends.

Just submitted my order for over $300 (mostly ammo--.454 Casull ain't cheap, and I can't very well let the brand new Raging Judge Magnum starve, can I?). The promotion nets me a $30 discount. Two thirds of that went right back to a quadruple helping of Midway's "12*12*12 Project," whereby they match each $5 donation to the National Endowment for the Protection of the Second Amendment:

About the National Endowment for the Protection of the Second Amendment The NRA created this endowment in 1991 to help ensure the future of the Second Amendment. The contributions are never spent, but allowed to grow forever. Each year 5% of the balance, or the earnings – whichever is less, are used on legal efforts to protect the Second Amendment. Today the balance in the endowment is $8,328,114. Your NRA Round-Up contributions through MidwayUSA have gone into this endowment since January 2, 1992.
With Midway's matching $20, that's $40--plus a few cents from "NRA Round-Up" that so upsets Mother Jones, CSGV and VPC--going to legal efforts to protect the Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms..

VPC's Josh Sugarmann, remember, wants us to be outraged about 74 cents going to the Round-Up, from a purchase made by a murderous POS:
A copy of the e-mail receipt sent to Sodini from MidwayUSA for his purchase of 9mm and .45 ammunition that was shipped to him courtesy of McClure-Volker includes a donation of 74 cents from the mass shooter to the NRA via the Round-Up Program.
40 bucks and change may not sound like much . . . but it's more than enough to have kept CSGV on the web for more than three years.
