This is shocking! WWP has some explaining to do.
MANDEVILLE, LA –-(Ammoland.com)- Does the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) have a bias against guns and gun makers?
Two weeks ago that would have sounded crazy, but this week many shooters are convinced that it’s true. Hundreds of hunts and shoots are held as fundraisers for the WWP, and gun companies donate to WWP for its projects. How could it be that this $185 million (2013 projected revenue) outfit could be anti-gun?
….
““While we appreciate the interest in having a WWP representative on your show on Veterans Day we are not able to participate in interviews or activities with media/organizations that are related to firearms,” said Ms. Coleman in her email.
….
Coleman’s explanation that guns are used in suicides, and suicide is a big issue for returning vets, set off a firestorm of response. WWP quietly started making changes to its web site, removing mention of firearms, or changing it to “weapons.” Online firearms boards documented the changes, posting the before and after. The pressure mounted on WWP.
So if a vet kills himself by connecting a hose into the exhaust of a car, are they going to disallow car companies as sponsors? This is unbelievable, Coleman has to go.
