I'm tired of NRA and the Brady Campaign and other giant, top-heavy organizations getting all the attention. The real action is going on at street level, and there's a whole host of organizations working from the bottom up. How about making a directory of local activist groups?

1. Not quite grass roots, but I like the second admendment foundation.

They helped win McDonald vs Chicago, and they get involved in a lot of pro gun lawsuits.

2. They're about the only national group doing anything for MD, that's for sure

3. Ditto. n/t

4. Illinois State Rifle Assn.

They took the lead on McDonald v. Chicago and were kind enough to show us all the first big ass check Rahm had to write to the gun people, but far from the last he'll have to sign.

They also run some really fun shoots at their range. Several Garand matches, High Power shoots, "Winter Wars" every January and Carbine/Pistol combat matches for beginners.

6. I've never been a fan of the NRA-affiliates, but I'll defer to the locals n/t

7. Anyone who doesen't solicit donations and pay members to lobby.

If you're doing it for the money, you're just another whore.
