Well, it's less than 2 weeks away from the CCFR's "National Range Day" and I haven't seen a single newspaper, radio or TV ad about it. I checked the gun range's websites in Winnipeg and I can't see one that even mentions it. Only one gun range about an hour away has an event planned.

I had high hopes for this because the more people that interested in buying a gun, the better for us because the only thing politicians understand are votes.

Is there any mention of the event in any other areas?

My range isn't even listed, and they're participating. And donated like $20k to the CCFR.
