So through their spending of only $50k, the anti-rights people have caused us to spend 26 times that amount stopping them from their mischief?
I’d say the effectiveness of their actions is akin to someone who throws a trash bag of garbage onto the side of a highway: a small action makes a big mess on which others have to spend way to much time and money to clean it up.

Mikee, no, you have it inversed.
The pro-rights side is on the offensive. Attacking always takes more gold and blood than defense.

I can accept that, seeing as how I have my Texas CHL which would have been unavailable to me two decades ago.
The glacial pace of pro-rights reforms, compared to the relative lightning-like strikes of anti-gun efforts, annoys the heck out of me.

People vote with their feet and their wallets. The people with the largest wallets (assuming the funds are legitimately earned and not stolen from taxpayers) tend to have the most votes.
