This is merely our special THANKS to these brothers in arms who have so well represented the country and our AR15.Com family.
Immediate proceeds with go directly towards gifts to these men. Any and all remaining proceeds will be passed along to relief funds. (Most likely to the Firemen's Families.) This is not meant to stamp out our sadness or to lessen anyone's pain, this is simply a show of gratitude and remembrance for those who have given of themselves in these times. Spare a few bucks if you can, and lets let these guys know how much they mean to us. -- GB |

Call me an asshole if you want but count me out. Those guys signed on to do a job, and they knew it could get rough. they cashed their paychecks with a clear conscience.Lets find a little girl who's father is still under 50 tons of concrete and buy HER something.
Flame Away boys! I have a right to my opinion, and you just heard it! |

Flame Away boys! I have a right to my opinion, and you just heard it! I wouldn't call you an asshole, but many of us have ALREADY given to the families involved, firefighter and police family funds, red cross, united way, and local charities. Some of us even volunteered to go out and help with rescue operations. You may not wish to donate, that's totally your call and not wrong by any means, but to blatantly reject the effort these men have given to the rescue operations is just plain [b]WRONG[/b]. You say you want to find the little girl's father, how much concrete and steel have you moved??? Yes, they're getting paid for this, but have you SEEN pictures of the horror they witness day in and day out??? This shit will remain with them for the rest of their lives. This small effort is just ANOTHER way for us to show our support to these guys. "We take care of our own." -- GB |

Anti,
I'd love to give you something for them. (have donated to the NYPD FOP and locally) Thing is I just broke the bank and then some updating my old kit with SOE gear. I know it's selfish but since I'm on a mobility team it's time to take care of my ass first. Our daughter's 3rd grade class got togeather and did cards for a friend (NYPD) that was also downtown when the attack occured. This guy was at ground zero for the 2nd aircraft impact. |

Are these guys doing their job? Yes. Are they JUST doing their job? That's the matter at hand. I happen to believe that current circumstance have turned "just a job" into a vital service to our country. Unless we want to degenerate into a society that "just does its job," we need to reward those that come through for us in times of need. Here's our chance. For some people that can be an email with a word of thanks, and for others it can be through a little money through paypal. In the end it comes down to doing what you think is right.

I can understand the gesture. But, wouldn't a donation to an organization or charity of their (officers) choice granted in their name be more appropriate? If the officers would rather receive a gun at a time like this instead of giving the money to those who need it, they themselves seem a little selfish in my eyes. Let me know the names of the organization they would like money donated to and the names of the officers and I will do my part.

This is an awful decent thing your trying to do. I agree with the sentiment 100%. But since it is based on their status as NYPD officers, it may constitute a gratuity. Accepting gratuities is usually against dept. regulations. I'm not sure if NYPD has a regulation about this or not.
Perhaps we could chip in to do something for the 5th Pct, for Waverunner, and ESU, for NYshooter, (sorry I'm not sure who the 3rd is). That would benefit other officers there or victims, in NYPD's name (including waveruner, Nyshooter, ******) from AR15.com. Not trying to step on toes, just throwing out a suggestion. |

This isn't an event which will be easily forgotten for them or for us, but by showing them how much we appreciate their efforts, we give a little respect and thanks to them as individuals. Like I said, I have given to many organizations and am working an outside contract now, NOT to buy a new gun which was my goal, but to give to the Firemen's Family Fund. We each do as we choose, this is simply for those who want to give a little something TO THEM FROM US. That's it, simple and pure. It's nothing more than a special tribute from this group. They've gone above and beyond their duty in what they do. They've given more to this than all of us put together. They're on the front lines of this war, and they wont be the last. Do as you choose, but please don't come in here to dishonor what we're trying to do for them. That is all I ask. -- GB |

These guys aren't getting anything for being NYPD, they're getting "respect" for being AR15.COM members that are giving their all, in the face of this national tragedy. They could have quit their jobs and walked away anytime they chose, but they didn't... From the horrors they are dealing with, that makes them better people than any of us could ever hope to be! |

I like to add my .02¢ worth here. This gesture isn't about honoring police officers who "are doing their job". It's about showing[blue]4[/blue] of our fellow AR15.com members,friends and brothers that we appreciate what they are doing. That we are proud to call them friends. We met them here. Here is about AR15 rifles and the people who own,collect and shoot them. What could be more fitting then to present them with custom rifles from friends who but for the grace of God aren't beside them right now seeing the carnage and destruction.
If you don't want to contribute..fine. That's your choice. But please don't belittle the gesture by posting negative comments in this thread. They deserve more respect then that. |

Anti, is there a 'suggested donation'? I want to give at least what others have if I can afford it.
For those of you so adamently against this idea, fine. Just don't be such an asshole and rant up and down the board about. I have a suggestion: Could you have something special engraved or maybe screened/airbrushed on the buttstock? Something like "To a hero from your brothers at AR15.com" or "Thank You - your brothers at AR15.com" or something similar? Maybe you could also include the screen names of all those who contributed so they will always know who they can call for backup...? Oh yeah, from someone who lives and works in the AO, THANK YOU! |

I don't see this as having a damn thing to do with "It's their job." I see this as a way for the members to thank and honor these guys for being the type of men who would probably be ass deep in the rubble whether they were getting paid to do it or not. I think a rifle is a small thanks for what these guys gave of themselves with the horrible memories they'll carry for the rest of their lives. My .02

There is no minimum or maximum, and since we need close to $2000 for this to happen, every dime will help!
These rifles will be engraved in a manner that will honor these fine gentlemen in a way that only "we" can do it. I will be working on the artwork over the next few days when I have the time. These rifles will also be in a very special and custom configuration, so they will be exclusive, as they should be! |

I'm home early today, 1900 hours...only two hours sitting in traffic!
Anyway, I'm incredibly surprised that the moderators want to do this for us. I also see by tc6969's comments that there are members against this, so be it....I FEEL I DO NOT DESERVE THIS. I really don't wish to gain from other peoples loss. I am totally humbled by the gesture though. It's cliche, but I'm only doing my job and had the timing been a few minutes different I would have been rushing up the stairs of the WTC as well. I know that at any given time we can pay the ultimate price and everyone else in this line of work knows that. The real HERO's are those that perished that day, I'm just a regular cop. That's my .02 cents. If you want to contribute to the rifle fund, then do so. If you feel your money should go somewhere else that's fine too. You can also sit there behind your computer screens and do nothing. At a time of crisis like this we must stand united, I respectfully ask that the name calling stop and that we each do something positive to help. Fellas, we have better targets to aim at then ourselves. |

Let me first say this:
I live and work in central Jersey for a large financial company that has offices in the WTC and surrounding buildings. My wife works for a large oil company in northern Jersey with offices near the WTC. We have friends, family, and coworkers that have been directly affected by this. Two people we know and care about are dead. A few more are still listed as 'missing' but presumed dead. The task that the men we talk about here have to do is one that I am glad I don't have to do. More power to them. Anything I can do to show them that, despite the soul destroying death and despair that they've witnessed, the world is a good place filled with people who truly care about you and won't let you down, I WILL DO! That said, I offer the following: If the terms are acceptable to RRA and they offer a fair cash value for it, I am willing to donate my Bushmaster V-Match for credit towards this effort. I have placed the pic below: [img]http://wsphotofews.excite.com/032/tE/vG/t3/Yt42191.jpg[/img] AntiUSSA, please discuss this with the appropriate folks and find out what they would 'credit' you for it. Feel free to post here or email me for details details or with questions. I think it might do good to post most everything here though. Perhaps it will motivate other members to offer up to this worthy cause. To all of my fellow AR15.com members, This is more than most can afford to give, I know. But, since I happen to be in a position to be able to do this, I must. I owe it to myself, my son, my wife, and all of you as someone who believes that this country is more than what you see on the news every night. She is an unbreakable bond between her citizens that only grows stronger the harder you pull. Believe me, if everyone gave just $20, it would all add up and we would easily make the goal. Someday, it could happen in your town. Someday, it could be your son, brother, father, or friend that these men are pulling from the rubble. Look deep in your hearts, fellow Americans.

Guys, I was on the phone with waveRunner when these last few posts were made.
Wave was reading these to me, while I was pacing in my backyard trying to get him to understand why we would do such a thing for our brothers; it's because "they" would do it for any of us! I am absolutely speechless by the jestures a couple of you are offering, but that's what makes the members of AR15.COm stand alone from the others... I just hope and pray that enough others will see your sincerity, and not allow this to happen, but if it does, I'm right there with you! |

I have on several occasion taken offense to some things and some people and wished I had never allowed this place to exist. Over the past few months some of our brothers have come through some rough times and I've had the honor of speaking to them, meeting them, and most of all honoring and thanking them.

If perhaps you guys have a few mags or accessories you'd rather donate, I and many others would gladly pay for them to make the difference. I cannot ask of ANYONE to give up so much and implore you to simply find another way. I've just sent another paypal payment to help bolster the cause and make a decent impact on it. -- GB Guys this isn't something you MUST do.

As to the part of "just doing there jobs" I don't think any of them are just doing this for the overtime pay. I doubt any of them are just working there regular 9 to 5 and just going home to the wife and kids. Most of the people there are working on zero sleep and have been since day one. Not because they have to,not becuase its the right thing to do. The reason is they have the will and determination to see it done and then a whole lot more that most will never understand.

Surefire Model 678 Tactical Light with two mounts: Clamp for AR front sight post and Weaver ring for accessory rails. This light has barely been used (its still on the original battery). With the Weaver mount its $300 new. --one of the screws in the sight post mount broke, it should be easy to replace, just a small flathead screw for a few pennies, you should know this though. [blue]**NO LONGER AVAILABLE**[/blue] Bi level rail for carry handle upper. Lower/forward rail can have accessories mounted on the top as well as both sides. Don't know manufacturer as it was purchased at a gun show. It was $45 and looks in very good condition (almost new). [blue] **NO LONGER AVAILABLE**[/blue] BSA 30MM red dot scope. Always worked fine for me. Always kept zero. Probably worth $30-$40? Battery is almost dead, needs replacement. [blue]**NO LONGER AVAILABLE**[/blue] Bushmaster A2 buttstock/spring/buffer. Is just about brand new. Took off my "Shorty AK" and replaced with their fixed tele stock soon after buying the rifle. Bushmaster sells for $75. [blue]**NO LONGER AVAILABLE**[/blue] I will have to go looking and see what else I've got. Sorry I don't have pics of this stuff. Anyone and everyone please make an offer on this stuff. I will have you pay the funds directly to antiUSSA. I will ship once I get confirmation of payment from him. Please post your offers here so others will hopefully be inspired to give! I will check back as often as I can and will sell to first REASONABLE offer based on post times. If you are interested in any of this stuff, please make a reasonable offer. I am not looking for profit here, just a fair offer to help support this fund. Thanks [:)] [blue]Well, that was quick! I have been dragged, kicking and screaming, into a sale![;)] antiUSSA, look for money comin' your way from our favorite staff member! Everyone, just because all this stuff is no longer available doesn't mean you shouldn't still donate. $10, $15, whatever, IT ALL ADDS UP![/blue] |

Quoted: Ronin45 ( John ) is a member of our ESU and has been in ground zero performing some very dangerous deep penetration searhes for survivors . He has been working tirelessly since Tuesday at a great risk to his life . If you know John you would understand that he would not hesitate to take on any assignment regardless of the danger . God Bless America OMFG, I am such a fuckin dipshit! I swore up and down yesterday that we had everyone down on rescue. I couldn't think of anyone else, but in the back of my head something kept hinting at it. Now I am ashamed to have forgotten John. Up the count to FOUR members to honor. Thanks for catching our oversight, John you're too damn quiet!!! -- GB |

I did not mean to disrespect anyone by my first post. If I did, I apologize. I have the utmost respect for all the heroes in NYC and yes I think they all deserve something special. I would like to contribute and I will. I just want to make sure that those who need the financial help will get it. I am sure that more than enough funds will be collected and the extra money will go to a good and worthy cause. Paypal on the way.
Keep up the good work. We love you. Sydwaiz |

Guys and gals, we've kicked serious ass tonight and are rocking in the right direction. I've taken it personally to make sure this works out, so please do NOT go too far. (I wont allow it.) And if you can't spare a few bucks then spare a few minutes to call these guys or write them an email with your appreciation.
Keep an eye on the first page, funds are looking great already! -- GB |

Well, since I am unemployed, I have maxed out my credit cards. So can I send a small amount in a form of a check instead? Let me know. I will get it out tomorrow.
OOOPPPSS Nevermind. I just read the 2nd page of the post and saw that checks are accepted. I will send one out tomorrow. |
