These guys are the lowest common denominator. Really.
We have often wondered what the true membership numbers of the Brady Campaign are. In 2004 they said they had "about half a million". Since they are selling their membership list we now know what are probably close to the true numbers: 50,581 DONORS/MEMBERS (TOTAL FILE) 40,765 DONORS/MEMBERS (24 MOS) 28,417 DONORS/MEMBERS (12 MOS) 9,590 CATHOLIC DONORS/MEMBERS (36 MOS) 5,368 JEWISH DONORS/MEMBERS (36 MOS) Founded in 1974 (Formerly known as Handgun Control) this public citizens lobby works for legislative controls and governmental regulations on the manufacture, importation, sale, transfer, and civilian possesion of guns. Activists are individuals who have responded by mail on a gun control issue. Average Donation $40.00.

As Joe notes, that's total… ever… I've reached more people with this blog since 2004. I'd be willing to be the total readership of the gun blogs is much greater than that, and that's not counting forums and whatnot.
Don't get me wrong, these guys punch waaaaaaaaay out of their league and <tinfoil>honestly, I think the NRA might be a few of those donations as they need some group to kick around and look useful</tinfoil>. But the fact that they cannot even get 50,000 people to donate money to them annually says something.
Somewhere, the director for "The Flat Earth Society" is feeling much better about his membership rolls.
