View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Does the VA not refer patients to specialists outside of the system? I came down with a case of vertigo for a few days and it was absolutely miserable. I couldn't even sit up in bed. Dealing with that alone, everyday depends on the doctor, and place. but ive watched the VA neglect people to death. Yes they will. It's staggering to watch. |

You really have to be your own advocate these days, or have someone that knows how to navigate the system. It can be just as demoralizing as the medical issue itself. |

I've been having a really bad month costing my self thousands from my own stupid mistake, but I cant even compare that to what Dugan is going through. It really hurts to watch that video and see him in this state, I hope the money can help him and his family through this. I had to watch my father slowly succumb to illness 3 years ago and I pray his family doesn't have to go through the same.

Archive of his long-deleted youtube channel. Some comedy gold in there. |

Thank you for all the laughter and joy you brought to us.
Donated as well. |

Bump. Threw some funds towards Dugan. MS is pretty shitty, my cousin has it too and I wish him the best.

Donated. That guy is a legend. Sucks to hear about his health.

View Quote Who is his Representative and senator? Some of the old school outfits like amvets, DAV, VFW and the like still have guys who know how to work the system but some people really need to put heat on his rep and senator to rip several new assholes on his regional bureau chief. He’s a brave guy and a great American, he shouldn’t be having to fight the VA as well as MS like this it’s criminal. |

I am sure there are many people trying to reach him now, so hopefully Max is on top of it and Dugan isn't getting overwhelmed. I would appreciate if Max Glaser explained his relationship to Dugan and plans for the money more clearly, because just running a GFM out of the blue doesn't sit 100% right with me. |

Man that’s super tough to watch. Love his videos. Praying he gets the all the help.

Posted from page one. Someone @ me a hyperlink and I'll drop him a hundo so he can have a better goodbye than I did with my mom.

Quoted: MS is fuckin scary. My Aunt has it, but has learned over the years how to keep her symptoms under control. Cognitive decline is definitely something that scares the shit outta me, but I hope he gets a little bit of relief soon. View Quote Unfortunately MS is often more aggressive in men. |

I sent this link to the guy doing the GFM. I was talking to him yesterday on IG about doing an ARFCOM drive for Dugan once he got in contact with him to clear up the concerns on legitimacy.
Apparently ole Dugan Ashley is tough to get a hold of. |
|
My heart goes out to Dugan. Anybody that's ever enjoyed Carnikon should throw a few bucks to his go fund me.

He has explained in some of those updates. He has no personal relationship. He’s just trying to do a good thing. But agreed. I’m not donating until I can confirm that 100% no doubt my money will go directly to Dugan and his family. No charity. I’d also like to draw some prints for this but not sure how that works tax wise. |

Dirty '21er here. I want to donate, but we need to see Dugan validate this GFM. It looks like, thus far, he isn't tied to it at all. Nothing against the man who set it up, but I want to be sure this money gets to Dugan Ashley - and that he'll accept it.
*Edited to add, I think some funds will help him and his family, but listening to the video, he really needs to get seen by a MS specialist. Hopefully someone here can help get him to a specialist. |

What would be really awesome is if these big guntubers with massive audiences would put out videos looking for help wrt doctors and VA reps that can help Dug out. ARF has huge reach as has been proven many times but with the social media dudes also in the fight, it would really broaden the message.
I hope Dug gets access to the GFM. I know he isnt a fan of money on principle but many of us want to help where we can and just want to give back to a great American. |

I've talked to Dugan's mom and dad this morning.
They are following up with him and his wife now. He is currently in the hospital. Edit. Arfcom works fast |

Linked up the gofundme guy with Dugan's family.
Just got off the phone. Let's hope it turns out well, even if Dugan rejects the money and it's refunded at least it's somewhat legitimized. Good things are in motion, sometimes they just need a pass off to make sure everything works right. |

Patiently waiting for GFM confirmation.
The TAC talk video is what got me, however long ago that was. |
|
Damn.
I wish I could really help him and not just send money. He is a great American and we need more like him. This is terrible. |
|
Donated 50 bucks, I still have a one of his t shirts somewhere in a closet.

Guy I work with has been remission free for over ten years now on Aubagio. He was in the trial group. Tried lots of drugs prior and nothing was nearly as good as Aubagio.
Of course, YMMV and this is especially true with MS. You usually have to try several treatments before finding one that works well. |

View Quote We appreciate the effort and the personal outreach, but we are also expecting acceptable results. I'm taking a back seat because I don't have the close personal contacts, but I think we all want the same thing. End of the day, money can't buy one thing: our love and appreciation for the gonzo sense of humor about firearms and 'MURICAH that was Carnik Con. It's funny how internet fandom works, but if I could say one thing to DA or his close associates I would say: once you become a "minor internet celebrity" there is a wide range of things you've just got to let GO, for right or wrong. But setting aside any of the humor, or politics, at the end of the day we have someone who is a husband and father of children who needs a little help right now. DA could be any of us at any time, for any reason. IF we could just bring pot luck lasagna or drive people to medical appointments, or baby sit kids, we would, but straight up CASH is the best we can do from far away. {{By the way, if any of you knows someone in your neighborhood who needs similar support, the way we prevent the need for gross quantities of RDX in our future, is the application of a lot of love and mozzarella cheese, today.}} |

InRange just sent out an email asking for help and provided with a link to the GFM.

Donated again today after watching a bit of the video. That is rough.
Reached out to Palmetto State Defense (NOT PSA) who he did a video with and a line of custom lowers. I asked if they would restart those lowers and got an email back in a minute saying they already are. |
