If you were a self made multi-billionaire what would you do for RKBA?

I would take a Multi Prong approach.
(1.) I would give Generous Campaign Contributions to Congress Critters in sponsoring and voting for bills that would Repeal the 1934 NFA, 1968 GCA. I would also financially support congress critters who would introduce budget amendments that would completely cut off funding for the ATF.

(2.) I would financially back the Libertarian Party so that it would have more money than either the Republicans or the Democrats.

(3.) I would give Generous Campaign Contributions to any Congress Critter who would introduce a Constitutional Amendment and vote for it, that would unambigously set forth that the Second Amendment is an Individual Right.

(4.) I would also give Generous Campaign Contributions to any Congress Critter that would also introduce a constitutional Amendment (and vote for it) that would require that any ruling by the US Supreme court cannot restrict the Individual Liberties setforth in the Bill of Rights, but can only increase individual liberties.

(5.) I would also give Generous financial support to getting a constitutional Amendment that would require a Balanced Budget, Repeal Income Tax, and outlaw Inheiritance Taxes, and a constitutional Amendment that would require that all laws passed by Federal, State, City and County governments, must automatically expire after 5 years. This would help prevent the accumulation of laws which would suffocate liberty.

Congress and State Assemblies would be kept busy renewing laws which would make murder, burglary, rape, etc. criminal offenses.

After all they can only pass so many laws each year.
 
100 billion? :rolleyes:

I would not spend a dime on any politician. I would hire a high profle media firm and create a number of high impact announcements on the perils of gun control and the U.N.
I would buy all the airtime I need, especially during the superbowl and other mass comunication events and educate the people. Every major network would carry this message. Day and night till the well ran dry. :cool:
 
Gotta agree with better education, reform of laws, and can't leave out pork bellies.

I think I would make cash available for any and everyone to get firearms training that requested it. Cash for guns , holsters licenses for CCW and ammo for those in need. Push for RKBA in so many ways...teach shooting in schools, build facilities where needed, heck even provide transport for those whom needed to commute to gun friendly areas until the pressure and education caused the breakdown of said laws currently restricting some areas.

Enough monies to help the RKBA by support of persons doing RKBA...gotta get some of the crazies and sheeple to convert. Yeah heck we may even get the duck hunters and clay bird shooters to see eye to eye...who knows?

I'm a realist...doesn't mean enough money used in the right way couldn't clean things up...NO Gun Laws...my goal.
 
One thing nobody's mentioned yet is...if you really head $100 billion...a lot of people would know who you are, and if you said that you put engine grease on your shoelaces, they would try it just to be like you.
So one great thing you could do would be to say: "I have a lot of guns. I like guns. I like shooting. These are the rules."
I like Sailor's idea for my own reasons. But to make a difference in society I'd probably go for the lower grades: start a chain of low-tuition private schools, run at half the public school budget but getting better results, with mandatory JROTC including shooting.
All teaching would be based on WHAT WORKS not on the PC theory of the month. :barf:
All these ideas of buying a big piece of land and a lot of guns are missing the point -- you can do that with just a few hundred thou.
 
My objective in reforming higher education first is that fixing the schools that produce our teachers would have the effect of fixing all the other schools.
"Control" the source of new teachers, and you control the teachers. The same can be said for "journalists".

And, as has been noticed, yes, I do have a mean steak, particularly for proven ineffectual leftist theories. ;)

Of course, my previous post doesn't preclude me from buying some toys that go bang, of course. :D
 
I had to give this one some thought (and I haven't read any earlier posts to this thread, so forgive me if I bite on anyone's idea...)

First, I'd blow a signifigant portion of the $100b on fast bikes, first editions, call girls and single-malt scotch. And guns. Lots of guns.

Next, I'd start setting up corporations and trusts, preferably chartered through holding companies in Panama and Singapore (privacy and tax-avoidance purposes.)

- First and most obvious, one trust would provide large amounts of funding for pro-gun and libertarian organizations in the U.S. Everyone from GOA to Bureaucrash would be eligible for a slice of this pie.

- A second trust, seperate from the first, would be used exclusively for buying politicians and federal/state judges, very discretely. I doubt that this would produce major breakthroughs in political action (the risk of disclosure is such that many politicos wouldn't bite,) but having half a dozen congressional votes in one's pocket could prove useful in some situations.

- Third, PR. I'd hire a major international PR firm (probably Edelman) and set them to a big social education project. I'd want ad campaigns, publicity programs, the whole shooting match (pun intended), all geared towards one theme: Your life and all the fruits therof belong to you and only you, you have the right to defend your life, liberty, and property, and firearms are the best tool for that job. Spread that meme far and wide.

- Fourth, the gun club trust. A large fund to set up and maintain large semi-private shooting clubs in all fifty states, especally close to major cities. The trust would either provide funding to existing clubs or to establish new ones. Clubs that are hostile to the practice of self-defense techniques would have their management bought out and replaced. Legal defense for clubs being pestered by EPA and zoning twerps would be provided.

- Fifth, the FSP. This is a multi-pronged approach. I'd invest heavily in a few companies that would provide useful services in a free state. Starting from scratch would not be out of the question.
- At least one firearms manufacturer.
- An ISP, and some computer consulting firms.
- Private power utilities.
- Private banking firms.
I can think of some others. The purpose here is to provide the economic base in the free state with a big kick in the pants.

After everything was set up and running to my satisfaction, I'd retire with a few hundreds of millions stashed in an offshore bank, and spend my time riding fast bikes, reading, shooting, drinking single-malt scotch, and hanging out with call girls. :D

Off the top of my head-
1.Buy up Smith and Wesson, find a leagal way to tell the gov to stuff it's agreement, and pull the company out of Mass, and put itin a pro-gun state like Nevada. Start making high quality revolvers with American pride and craftsmanship.
Oh....and any state that is Anti gun would then be not sold to-including police departments.

2.Start my own pro rights group that is focused on ALL gun rights. The NRA is too focused on the whole 'sporting/hunting" angle.

3.buy up a national media outlet of some sort and start running more unbiased news.

4.buy LOTS of guns..and have shooting afternoons with a few of my friends..ammo is on me! Oh..and I should have the cash for a private caretaker and smith for em!
 
Buy a bunch of firearms and distribute them to friends, family, and all of the NRA members. Invite all the republican politicians to my ranch and give them a few hundred guns and let them spend the week shooting the crap out of targets and groundhogs. Donate a ton of money to the Boy Scouts and get back to the basics of teaching boys how to hunt and shoot guns.
 
If I was a multi billionaire I'd be an anti. It goes with the turf. Gotta stamp out the uppity peons.

You guys are all lucky I'm a peon. :neener:
 
Why, I'd sit in my air-conditioned island fortress, sipping expensive bottled water, cleaning my custom one of a kind guns, laughing at all of you mere mortals who couldn't have them, and no one would get a dime of my money.

Why?

Because I'm an objectivist, and I swear by my life, and my love for it, that I will never live for another man, nor ask another man to live for me. So you guys can just forget it. It's all about ME.

:neener:

LOL

(kidding, boys and girls...I'm unsure exactly what I'd do with one hundred billion dollars. Initially, I'd probably pee myself.)
 
In addition to all the sensible things listed above, I'd buy the bleeping school textbook companies, and see to it that the fundamentals of freedom and personal responsibility are well taught across all grades, and I'd make durn sure that the 2nd and jury nullification was covered in detail.

School trips to the shooting range would be the norm.
 
14 pt If I were a SMM, I would hire a cult deprogrammer to "cure" Sarah Brady and her Board of Directors of their irrational hatred of all firearms and the delusion that they can be controlled.
 
If you were a self made multi-billionaire what would you do for RKBA?


I'd buy some senators for the cause. Those whores *ARE* for sale in case that fact escaped anyone's attention.
 
Yeaah Quartus, education is a great thing and will eventually accomplish a lot more than anything else will. But getting rid of all the dissident voices would still be a good first step.
Click to expand...


Agreed! But that's the short term "put out the biggest fire" angle. Or call it the "shoot the closest bad guy" angle. (Figuratively speaking.)

But if that's ALL you do, you've lost.

I'm with Bruce - I wouldn't try to BUY politicians, I'd go after them legally. Investigate every move they make, every connection they have, and with my media outlets, tell the world what I find. Run the traitors and criminals out of office.


I'd also buy plenty of ad space in the hunting mags, including American Rifleman, and try to educate the idiot "nobody needs an assault rifle" duck hunter types.
