According to the brady campaign web site, amazon.com donates a percentage of profits to the anti-gun group.

Looks like I won't be buying from there anymore... do you know of any other anti-gun supporters...

Never bought anything from em. Apparently, now I'm not going to. Oh boo hoo.

Gotta link?

I'd like to send it to them with all the orders I won't be placing anymore.

OK, Amazon DOES NOT donate 5% to Brady.

They have a link on their website that links to Amazon that if you use, 5% will be donated to the Brady Campaign.



Most websites can get the same deal from Amazon, probably even this one.

Perhaps the Avilas should check into that. I'd love to have all my future purchases donate 5% to this forum.

+1  That would be EXCELLENT, as I spent probably $400 or so in the past year at amazon, and will do more this year.

wonder if it is thru the affliate program....
non profits...and actually for profits....can have an amazon link on their website....
Everytime someone clicks thru that link, they get a portion of the procedes from the purachase....

(because my 501c3 participates in the amazon program)

Incorrect. If you buy from Amazon using the link from the Brady website 5% will go to the Brady Campaign. Lots of websites have the same deal.

If you buy from the Amazon.com website, NOTHING goes to the Brady Campaign.

Not really. If 5% of all Amazon sales went to Brady it would be a huge difference.

Amazon is simply offering the Brady website a 5% finder fee. Only sales which come from the Brady website get 5% donations.

The NRA could do exactly the same thing if they wanted. It wouldn't make Amazon pro gun.

I buy a number of things thru Amazon, I'd love to have the 5% go to ARFcom.

My thanks to SteyrAUG for having some reading comprehesion and I think the OP should alter the misleading thread title.

Indeed.  I was about to do the same.  That is not even remotely close to the same thing as the title says.

Falfiles has something like that for Brigade Quartermasters, ect....  Just a way for Amazon to advertise, nothing to boycott over.

Actually I hope this isn't deleted.

We could take what was an honest misunderstanding and maybe get the same deal for this website. I'm sure we have way more traffic.

And that's another good idea. But it looks like the OP wants to sweep his mistake under the rug, instead.

I'd be very interested!  I buy quite a bit of electronics through them.

Let's hold off on the lynching.

In reality he probably misunderstood, finally got it, then wanted to delete a topic in error.

This would, indeed, be a great thing if the NRA or ar15.com, would have a link that would work in the same way.  I've bought quite a bit from amazon in the last couple of months, and if a portion could go to this site, it would be great.  If it hasn't been mentioned to the Avilas already, it should be in the appropriate section.

Any pro-gun websites?

can you donate to the NRA through amazon.com?
