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

I would hire the best investigators I could find. I would go after all those the rest of you are talking about buying. I would file suit against all the gun control organizations with a very friendly judge. Drown them with evedentuary requests. Cost them time and money just to do it. Generally make life miserable for liars, cheats, and theives.
Since we are in the realm of never never land.
Build a thousand yard indoor range.
Build a private airfield next to it so friends could come and shoot when they wanted to.
Have half a dozen business jets to pick up friends who want to come and shoot and have a good time.
Open a sporting goods store on site with every possible firearm known to man.
Build a lake for a break in the shooting action. It is good to do something else occasionally.

I'd start a no-compromise competitor to the NRA with similar programs and fringe benefits, or else make a large donation to the NRA with future contributions contingent on a commitment to absolutely no copromise in the future.
I would start a "Liberty Media Inc." comitted to defending all our civil liberties.
I would fund youth shooting programs, youth hunting programs, youth gun safety programs across the country.

At my age, I'd let out "contracts" on every anti-gun politician in the country. By the time the judicial system got around to convicting me I'd already be dead and in my grave, laughing at them.
How to make the money?
Step 1... get underwear.
Step 2... ?
Step 3... PROFIT!
(If you don't know, don't ask. You won't understand.
)
Help fund the NRA, and fix the little things in it I don't like. With their massive new funding, let them do the TV commercials, work the politicians, etc.
Buy a fairly large liberal newspaper or two, and retool it to tell the truth, and support our rights. Maybe a news network instead, same goal.
Open a chain of ranges/gun shops all around the country. Advertise them and run family friendly educational courses there.
Maybe run for President. Eventually. Maybe another government position first.

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.

Ideals are nice but the reality is nothing would be done by anyone.
When you reach that level of wealth your thinking changes.
There are already many individuals worth 100's of millions of dollars that are conservative pro gun people.
They neither contribute to or support 2nd amendment issues.
There is a reason that the term "grass roots" is used.

Aside from the ideas about the media and politics, I'd get lawyers to go after the abuse of the Commerce Clause on the part of Congress, as well as the Unfunded Mandates imposed by Congress.

It'd probably get me killed, but I'd hire private investigators to document all of the dirty and illegal crap our politicians in Sacramento are into and rat them out for the lowlifes they are.

Sarah Brady and her ilk would tremble in fear before my giant robot armies.
LOL! I actually had planned for that some years ago, but the the venture capital bubble burst and I haven't even been able to get the darned Secret Underground Lair dry-walled, and I've got this copyright infringement thing going on over my "Army of Robot Zombies" concept (some guy named Rob is suing me in conjunction with the Ed Wood Foundation). I tell you, it's just not the climate in which to be a Super Villain these days.
A few billion would be so handy right about now.
I'd buy a couple of big newspapers in Cali. Maybe the SF Chronicle and the LA Times. Start highlighting the problems with the state from a different point of view. Finally allow pro-RKBA articles and advertisements to appear. Give money to pro-RKBA organizations and political candidates (Libretarians would be elected to state and national offices). Build gun ranges/stores all over the state. Etc.
Now, if I could just get my hands on all that dough...

I would bend all my time and resources to reforming higher education:
All those fossilized marxists who think they are safely ensconced by tenure would be targeted for an extremely indepth investigation into their grading practices, and every article or paper they ever published would be subjected to very public fiskings. These antiques would be shamed into retiring or quitting.
All school boards throughout the country would have paid volunteers sitting in at their meetings, and would face very vocal opposition to anything that smelled like post-modern relativism.
Much effort would be spent into getting the Federal Government out of education entirely.
High school shooting teams would be re-introduced wherever interest was shown, laws be damned.
Whatever is left would be invested in both GOA and the SAF, for these two organizations do more in one year for RKBA than the NRA has in ten.
