The Internet Archive/Wayback Machine is conducting its annual fundraiser. As has been my practice, I donated once more.
Why?
Because ever since Examiner.com shuttered operations, it is the only place on the internet that has preserved my Gun Rights Examiner columns, starting from the first one through to my getting unceremoniously fired in 2015. It is the only place on the internet that has preserved my Operation Fast and Furious “Project Gunwalker” reporting, which would otherwise be lost.
Ditto for old GUNS Magazine “Rights Watch” columns that their website no longer hosts.
I suppose I could go back and copy everything and repost it anew — if I had a solid year to do nothing else but that. But I don’t and I can’t.
I recall somebody here in comments a while back saying something about rethinking his contribution because the founder’s daughter was a big lefty or something like that– I don’t remember the specifics. In any case, I’m not giving for her, I’m giving to help preserve what I consider a vital resource that serves my self-interests. As you know, I never ask for donations for myself. If it’s in your self-interest to see the history of Fast and Furious (or anything else) preserved, this is the best way to do it that I know of.
