An update on ATRS vs the federal government action.

[Jefferson]

have known Rick and the crew for over a decade, probably closer to 2

honest as the day is long and loves the shooting sports

he and I have dealt with the corrupt govt and the burocracy for many many years

custome and excise, planning departments, registrations, and so on

he is single handedly truing to save our sports and needs help, please do your part if you can

if not that is ok as well

GoFundMe has an element of transparancy that EMT does not.
I understand in Alberta that ATRS has a great reputation. But here in Ontario I don't know them very well. So sending money to a private company with no disclosure is a bit unsettling. A bit more feedback about the amount received and the total goal (via EMT) might help.

Even Bill Blair's wife chose to send you a donation via GoFundMe.

Unfortunately there are far too many scams running around, so I totally understand your thinking.
For what it is worth however, I can assure you every penny that comes through our legal email system goes directly into the trust account.
I find it funny that so many guys that have donated have assumed alter egos.
My intent should we win this is to repay everyone who has supported our cause.

Thanks, that is generous of you, but I am giving a donation....not a loan!!
If you win, use the monies for R&D and production increases!!

Further to your question on transparency.

Didn't want to sound that way. But so far I have donated here and there and I think I have a right to expect a bit of feedback. Not that I distrust these organizations, but getting an idea how all the bills are coming along will be nice.

I guess, at this point the most happy campers of this OIC are lawyers who are pocketing these money."

Transparency is important, I agree.

This months bill from Ed and his team was just over $28,000.00. To date we are nearing the $200.000.00 mark. As of today donations through GoFundMe have come to $68,000.00 with GoFundMe taking $3200.00 off the top as their handling fee. Another $49,000.00 has been donated directly through our EMT direct email to trust account.
SFRC raffled off a rifle package that was a combined donation fro Gravel Agency and Vortex Canada, this brought in $11000.00.
The balance has come directly out of my pocket.

$50 en route...thank you ATRS for all of your efforts. Keep up the good fight!
