Its not that 2mm people dropped the ball, we all have different motives and financial resources. The tragedy that was the Humboldt Broncos also resonates wiith far more people- I'd say almost everyone
Personally I donate to most of these things only as support towards ensuring a "fair" [and lasting] legal decision gets made as it sets precedent for the rest of us [selfishly me] and prevents someone from getting steamed rolled by an opponent with unlimited funds.
I am far more likely to provide resources for fellow gun owners who are active in, and who also support the community. Serving in our Forces, in any capacity, may or may not count as being active in the firearms community to some, so I won't touch that. But will acknowledge appreciation and from certain articles the appearance that this is being used against him
However, despite any intention one may or may never have with their firearm (ie self/loved one defence, or simply transporting and shooting at the range), given the recent events/cases we have read about in the news and/or CGN, EVERY firearm owner should purchase legal defence insurance - +/-$100 per year removes the reliance on the finacial generosity of others and would allow them to show their support in other ways
The current federal government paints all legal firearm owners as untrustworthy, irresponsible potential criminals and then re-victimizes actual crime victims like Ed Maurice and Pete Khill. I would think that that is more than enough reason for any gun owner to get on-board with these types of campaigns. As for motive, how about sending a message to Ottawa that we're tired of the persecution and vilification and that collectively we're going to start protecting and looking after our own. Just purchasing "legal defense insurance" doesn't do that does it?
Just imagine the message that we could have sent if every gun owner in Canada gave only .25 cents to the Ed Maurice fund raiser campaign. It would be something that the MSM couldn't possibly ignore. This crowd funding thing is now the way to go. We could get way more 'bang-for-the-buck' than the NFA or the CCFR would ever dream of...

Before you start flaming me, I already donated.

No flaming intended. I'm just very disappointed with the NFA and the CCFR. When they were asked about promoting the Maurice 'FundRazr' campaign among their membership all we heard was crickets. I bought a lifetime membership with the NFA many, many years ago and I'm still waiting to see some sort of return on that investment.
I've also considered joining the CCFR but have now changed my mind...
Well it might be me but the Khill case doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s radar. Doesn’t even have its own thread here. So that probably correlates with the size of his defence fund. Almost like Ontario media doesn’t want people to know...
As for Maurice, I honestly wonder if the ricochet had been public knowledge earlier if more people would’ve donated?

Let's talk about double standard.
Several years ago a stoned/drunk teenager broke into the home of then Liberal party leader Justin Turdeau. The kid didn't even know whose house he had broken into. After the break-in, Turdeau went to the RCMP and demanded that he be afforded a dedicated ARMED police squad for the security of his home and family. The RCMP turned him down.
Last year, I myself was the victim of an attempted ARMED break-in yet Turdeau feels that I should be prohibited from arming myself for my own protection and home security. The 'double standard' hypocrisy doesn't get any more blatant or profound than that...
It has been suggested that a new thread for Pete Khill be started here. The trial seems nearly at an end so it probably won't matter at this point. I thought that giving the initial heads-up reference the Peter Khill case would gain more contributions for his defense fund if it was tacked on to the thread whose followers supported Eddie Maurice.
That's a very interesting question but I don't think that it would have made any difference to Western Canadians. There has been a huge property crime wave sweeping across the Prairie Provinces for the past few years now and home/property owners are getting sick and tired of dealing with it! The police are completely ineffective as a deterrent and it's infuriating that the law prohibits people for being EFFECTIVELY pro-active reference their own security.
IMO an Alberta jury would not have convicted Maurice whether the bullet was intentional or not. The huge, high profile public support for Eddie Maurice underscores this. It was this support shown from fellow Albertans that saved Eddie's butt. The Crown knew that they wouldn't get a conviction with an Alberta jury so they just folded their hand...

Whatever the outcome,
I find it encouraging that there seems to be a judge that remembers how the systems is supposed to work:
“It is the Crown that must satisfy you beyond a reasonable doubt that Peter Khill was not acting in self-defence when he killed ... Styres,” Glithero said.

There's really not much more ugly that Six Nations can do to the area. Tourism is a thing of the past, folks don't canoe and camp the nearest river anymore, property values are in the toilet. That whole end around the reserve is almost a no go zone.
