Not exactly a charity, but... the NRA, mostly. I’m not a fan of some of the scaremongering they do, and I wish they were more gun-centric and less Republican-centric. (And I say that as a Republican.)

But at the end of the day, they are the biggest lobbying group out there protecting a right that I hold dear. In fact, I think I’ll send them another hundred dollars right now.

Are you sure they need your support then? (...and that you're not just funding Wayne LaPierre's personal slush fund?) Why not SAF, for example?

I give money to the SAF as well, and even GOA. SAF has done fantastic work, but most people haven’t heard of them.
